Wild Tech launches AI governance toolkit to curb agent risks

Wild Tech has introduced its 'Agentic Governance in a Box' solution aimed at assisting organisations in managing the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents and improving governance over user and data access within enterprise environments.

The newly launched offering, designed in alignment with Microsoft technologies, seeks to address concerns over the rapid and, at times, unregulated development of generative AI within enterprises. Wild Tech's solution is developed to help organisations minimise duplication of agents, mitigate risks related to data exposure, and foster responsible AI innovation from the outset.

The rising adoption of generative AI technologies among businesses has led to growing challenges in maintaining effective oversight and control over AI agents—autonomous programmes that execute tasks or interact with users. The rapid deployment of such technologies risks creating an environment where duplicated or poorly governed agents can lead to increased security risks, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory concerns.

Louwis Venter, Head of Microsoft Enterprise at Wild Tech, emphasised the lessons learned from previous technology adoptions. He noted, "Too often we see innovation outpace governance. When the Power Platform was launched, teams raced ahead and built apps without structure or oversight. It was productive, but messy and expensive to fix. With AI, the risk is even higher. That's why we created Agentic Governance-In-A-Box: a tangible solution that empowers teams to innovate efficiently and safely."

The solution is offered as a pre-configured engagement targeting mid-market organisations, with pricing structured for accessibility and potential eligibility for Microsoft funding. Wild Tech's package provides an agent development and evaluation workflow designed with governance best practices. The product includes embedded controls to eliminate redundant agent development, safe sandbox environments for testing new AI concepts, and a centralised registry for agent visibility, version control, and access management.

To guide organisations through implementation, the solution also includes templates for agent approval processes, documentation, and onboarding, plus the deployment of the Copilot Control System (CCS). The CCS is a set of Microsoft-developed tools designed to provide monitoring and oversight to prevent unauthorised activity and maintain security protocols.

Alongside these technical measures, Wild Tech provides a two-hour workshop aimed at briefing project sponsors on the system's capabilities and integration opportunities.

"Think of it as building a healthy channel for AI ideas," Venter said. "It helps someone avoid developing innovation that already exists and ensures that another person's work isn't accidentally exposing sensitive files to the whole company. It's a necessary requirement in this era of innovation."

The company highlights that Agentic Governance in a Box maintains innovation while protecting enterprise data and adhering to internal controls and business objectives. The governance package aims to reduce the risk of data governance breaches, unnecessary duplication of agent resources, and technical debt.

Wild Tech is positioning the product for organisations of any size or AI maturity that utilise Microsoft Copilot, PowerApps, or Azure integration services. The product integrates with existing Microsoft ecosystems to extend current capabilities in agent oversight and data handling. By implementing the system, organisations may be better positioned to achieve cybersecurity best practices and meet governance expectations as use of AI expands.

The company states that the solution is now available as part of its Microsoft ecosystem offerings.
