Enterprises Report Slower-Than-Expected Agent Rollouts Due to Data Governance Gaps
## The Bottleneck Isn't the Model
Surveyed enterprise teams increasingly cite data governance -- who can grant an agent access to what, and how that access gets audited -- as the actual blocker on rollout timelines, not model capability or integration effort.
## What's Missing
Many organizations still lack a clear policy for scoping an agent's data access narrowly enough to be safe while broad enough to be useful, along with audit trails detailed enough to reconstruct what an agent did and why after the fact.
## The Pattern Going Forward
Teams that invested early in access-scoping and audit tooling are moving from pilot to production faster than those that treated governance as something to solve after the technical build was done.
