A Security Assurance Platform Built for Independent Validation
IV&V Officer brings security evidence, validation objectives, and assurance activities into a unified platform designed to help organizations evaluate security effectiveness with greater consistency, traceability, and confidence.
Ask the Security Question. Build the Evidence.
IV&V Officer operates through Microsoft Security Copilot, allowing security teams to begin with a natural-language question, investigation, or validation objective. The CISO Master Orchestrator interprets the request, identifies the relevant assurance context, and coordinates access to authorized Microsoft security sources and specialized IV&V capabilities to build an evidence-supported response.
ASK
Begin in Microsoft Security Copilot with the security issue you need to understand. The request might concern an incident, identity event, security control, vulnerability, threat, configuration, compliance objective, attack surface, or another defined validation question. IV&V Officer uses the request and available context to establish what needs to be examined before deeper validation begins.
DISCOVER
IV&V Officer uses the authorized security context available through the active Security Copilot environment to retrieve relevant records from applicable connected sources. Depending on the question and available connections, evidence may come from services such as Microsoft Entra, Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, Intune, Purview, Microsoft Threat Intelligence, Defender Exposure Management, and other approved sources.
VERIFY
IV&V Officer turns available security evidence into a defensible view of the conditions being assessed. Findings are grounded in supporting information, while gaps and uncertainty remain visible, giving security leaders a clearer basis for informed decisions.
ASSURE
IV&V Officer brings the resulting evidence and specialist findings into a consolidated assurance perspective designed to help stakeholders understand what the available evidence supports, where uncertainty remains, and where additional investigation or action may be appropriate. The goal is not simply to generate another security alert. It is to provide a clearer, evidence-supported basis for security analysis and decision-making.
IV&V Officer agent suite
Specialized Security Expertise. Coordinated as One.
IV&V Officer is a multi-agent Security Validation & Assurance suite designed to operate through Microsoft Security Copilot. At its center is the CISO Master Orchestrator, which interprets the validation objective and coordinates specialized assurance agents based on the security question and available authorized evidence. Together, the suite provides focused expertise across identity, vulnerability, compliance, incident response, OT security, and attack surface exposure while maintaining a unified assurance perspective.
Grounded in Your Security Environment: IV&V Officer works with authorized security information available through the connected Microsoft environment to support its analysis. Findings are grounded in available evidence, helping organizations move from assumptions toward conclusions that can be reviewed and supported.
See More Than an Isolated Finding: IV&V Officer considers relevant security context to help organizations understand the significance of observed conditions. This provides a broader perspective on potential impact, relationships, and areas that may warrant additional attention
Understand Risk in Context: IV&V Officer can incorporate relevant threat and security intelligence when evaluating observed conditions. This helps organizations look beyond the existence of an issue and better understand its potential significance within the current security environment.
Know When More Evidence Is Needed: IV&V Officer is designed to recognize when available information does not support a definitive conclusion. Evidence gaps, limitations, and uncertainty can remain visible, helping stakeholders distinguish supported findings from conditions requiring additional investigation
Put Technical Findings Into Context: IV&V Officer helps translate technical security observations into information relevant to risk, operations, governance, and business priorities. This gives stakeholders a clearer basis for understanding why a finding matters and where attention may be warranted.
Move From Findings to Informed Action: IV&V Officer provides evidence-supported findings and recommendations designed to help teams determine appropriate next steps. The platform focuses on independent validation and analysis while leaving remediation decisions and implementation with the organization.
Assurance You Can Examine, Trace, and Act On
IV&V Officer is designed to do more than return an AI-generated security answer. Operating through Microsoft Security Copilot, the platform grounds validation in authorized security evidence, preserves the basis for its conclusions, identifies gaps and uncertainty, and brings specialized security perspectives together into actionable assurance.
Grounded in Your Security Evidence
IV&V Officer is designed to work from information retrieved through authorized Microsoft security sources and approved connections. Relevant entities and security conditions are validated against available source data before being presented as supported findings.
Knows When the Evidence Is Incomplete
Missing telemetry should not become assumed fact. IV&V Officer is designed to identify unavailable evidence, retrieval limitations, and uncertainty so stakeholders can understand not only the conclusion, but also the strength and limitations of the evidence supporting it.
Connects Relevant Security Perspectives
Depending on the validation objective and authorized connections, IV&V Officer can draw upon relevant Microsoft security context across identity, incidents, endpoints, exposure, configuration, compliance, threat intelligence, and other available sources. Specialized agents then contribute focused expertise where the question requires it.
Conclusions With a Basis
IV&V Officer is designed to connect findings and recommendations to supporting evidence, clearly distinguish validated information from assumptions or missing data, and provide stakeholders with a more defensible basis for security decisions.
