Is the evidence ready for a Zero Trust for AI roadmap?

Prepare a source-bounded assessment-to-workshop handoff without connecting a Microsoft tenant. This page does not scan configuration, infer a posture score, implement controls, or certify security.

Evidence readiness checks

Planning result

Complete the checks

Select only categories backed by current, reviewable evidence.

  • Use the official Assessment for tenant configuration and activity-signal findings.
  • Use the Workshop to convert validated findings into a 12- to 24-month First, Then, Next roadmap.
  • Enforce agent identity, authorization, tool, data, and memory boundaries outside the model.
  • Close tasks only with implementation, negative-path, monitoring, and reassessment evidence.

Quick answer

A baseline starts the control loop

Microsoft describes the Assessment as an automated view of posture based on tenant configuration and activity signals. Its practitioner and executive outputs prioritize recommendations; they do not implement them.

The facilitated Workshop maps findings into First, Then, Next work and a 12- to 24-month roadmap. Its DevSecOps pillar covers 15 control groups and 91 tasks, including four AI-assisted development areas.

Agent-specific evidence must follow the complete action chain: identity, effective scope, tool and parameter, downstream authorization, data and memory boundary, resulting change, correlation ID, and revocation path.

A hard-stop result means the design mistakes planning evidence for assurance, relies on prompts as security boundaries, or cannot contain a high-impact failure. Resolve that condition before expanding autonomy.

Create one traceable baseline, roadmap, and reassessment loop.

Agent least privilege

Identity, scoped roles, tool binding, audit, and revocation.

AI memory safety

Govern writes, retrieval, isolation, user control, and incidents.

Zero Trust for AI assessment questions

No. It is an independent local planning checklist. It does not connect to a tenant, inspect configuration or activity signals, calculate a Microsoft score, or replace the official Assessment or Workshop.
Validate each finding against the actual environment, assign owners and dependencies, use the Workshop to prioritize First, Then, Next work, implement controls, test failure paths, and reassess.
No. It only indicates that the selected planning evidence categories are represented. It is not certification, security assurance, penetration testing, compliance approval, or a guarantee against compromise.
