Dynamics 365 Business Central: Copilot and agents - Try Payables Agent for free without setting up email

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Business Central's Payables Agent now offers a free trial without requiring admin setup or email configuration. This lowers the barrier to entry for AI agent use, increasing potential shadow IT and unmanaged data processing.

The Impact

Accounts payable users can now self-provision AI agent trials, creating unmanaged data processing risks.

• Accounts Payable: Can process sensitive invoice data via an unmanaged AI agent.
• Security Team: Reduced visibility and control over AI agent deployments and data flows.
• Compliance Officers: Increased risk of non-compliance with data handling policies.
• IT Administrators: Potential for shadow IT and unmanaged agent identities.

The Action

1. Review Dynamics 365 Business Central tenant settings for AI agent trial enablement.
2. Communicate updated acceptable use policies for AI agents to all D365 users.
3. Monitor D365 audit logs for Payables Agent trial activations and data uploads.
4. Assess the data classification of information processed by the Payables Agent.
