“AI teams today are deploying models and launching dynamic agents that interact, learn, and evolve in real time,” commented Blake Brannon, Chief Product & Strategy Officer at OneTrust. “With our enhanced Azure OpenAI integration, customers can seamlessly register, monitor, and manage AI agents alongside their models. This is a game-changer for ensuring that every component of an organization’s AI deployment adheres to global regulations and responsible AI principles—allowing teams to innovate faster with full confidence in their governance framework.”

A Simpler Way to Govern AI Agents

Recent reporting forecasts that 50% of companies using generative AI will deploy AI agents by 2027. Yet, managing the lifecycle of AI agents introduces new complexities—from tracking deployment behaviors and data flows to ensuring ongoing transparency and compliance. OneTrust’s integration with Azure OpenAI now automates the capture of agent deployments, centralizes project records, and eliminates manual data entry into new interfaces to save time, reduce friction, and streamline compliance with laws such as the EU AI Act.
