Dynamics 365 Sales - Redesigned Opportunity Research helps sellers understand deals and take action faster

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Sales is introducing an AI-driven 'Opportunity Research' feature. This uses an 'Opportunity Agent' to summarise deal status, identify risks, and suggest next steps, potentially exposing sensitive sales data to AI processing.

The Impact

Dynamics 365 Sales users are affected by the introduction of an AI agent that processes sensitive sales data, posing a risk of data exposure and compliance challenges.

• Sales teams: AI agent processes sensitive deal information, increasing data exposure risk.
• Security teams: New AI agent requires review for data handling, privacy, and compliance.
• Compliance officers: Data residency and privacy implications for AI processing of sales data.
• Admins: Need to understand and manage the 'Sales Opportunity Agent' enablement.

The Action

1. Review Dynamics 365 Sales 'Sales Opportunity Agent' configuration for data processing scope.
2. Assess data classification and sensitivity of information processed by the AI agent.
3. Consult legal and compliance teams regarding data residency and privacy implications of AI processing.
4. Implement or review data loss prevention (DLP) policies for Dynamics 365 Sales data.
5. Educate users on the capabilities and data handling of the new AI-driven features.
