Government and infrastructure operators need resilient, secure, reviewable systems that do not hide decisions or create unmanaged cyber risk.

Practical starting point

Start with a human-reviewed knowledge or operations workflow and map the relevant NIST, CISA, records, accessibility, and procurement controls.

Questions to take into the first workshop

What local obligation, operating risk, and accountable role make this sector different?
What evidence would convince the people who own safety, privacy, security, service, or financial outcomes?
What bounded pilot can be stopped without harming the people or operations it serves?

Use the United States questions here as a starting point, then explore how governance, policy, security, and Microsoft-tenant deployment can be designed into a specific workflow.

Enterprise AI Group describes a 6-8 week path for a defined workflow. Timing and cost depend on scope, users, integrations, security, governance, and support.
