OneTrust Expands Azure OpenAI Integration for Smarter AI Agent Governance

Accelerating AI models and agents with robust, centralized oversight for responsible innovation

ATLANTA, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OneTrust, the market-defining platform helping organizations use data and AI responsibly, today introduced an integration with Azure OpenAI to accelerate and automate AI governance. This latest update goes beyond traditional AI model governance--delivering powerful new capabilities to centrally manage and govern AI agents. Now, as companies embrace agents to drive innovation, OneTrust enables responsible AI practices at every step of the AI lifecycle.

"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.

Key Features

    --  Automated Agent & Model Registration: Instantly register both AI models
        and agents as they are created in Azure OpenAI, capturing vital project
        details right at the point of deployment.
    --  AI Lifecycle Management: Manage the full AI lifecycle by associating ML
        models, agents, and training data with AI projects, triggering AI impact
        assessments to uphold responsible AI principles.
    --  Dynamic Transparency Reporting: Generate real-time system, agent, and
        model reports in seconds, consolidating purpose, performance, training
        data, and limitations into a single, transparent view for stakeholders.

By integrating directly with Azure OpenAI, OneTrust simplifies compliance and sets the stage for the next generation of responsible AI governance. Whether finetuning generative AI models or deploying cutting-edge agents with Azure AI services like AI Foundry and AI Agent Service, OneTrust AI Governance helps ensure that AI operations remain agile, transparent, and fully compliant.
