Applied AI Governance: The Model Context Protocol as an Enterprise Control Plane for Autonomous Agents

Applied AI Governance: The Model Context Protocol as an Enterprise Control Plane for Autonomous Agents AI systems no longer just generate answers—they take action. They send emails, invoke APIs, modify records, and execute workflows across enterprise systems. As AI shifts from advisor to actor, governance failures become real-world security, legal, operational, and financial risks. Applied AI Governance explains why traditional AI governance is no longer enough for autonomous and agent-based systems. It argues that effective control must exist at the moment an AI agent acts—not only in policy documents, design reviews, or audits after the fact. Written by a practicing Chief Information Security Officer, this book introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a practical governance surface where identity, authorization, policy enforcement, and evidence generation can come together at runtime. Readers will learn how to: Understand the governance gap created by autonomous AI Identify key risks in agentic systems Apply execution-layer controls using MCP and policy-as-code Build auditable, accountable governance for AI actions Align technical controls with major regulatory and governance frameworks This book is written for security leaders, architects, risk and compliance professionals, and technologists working in regulated or high-risk environments. Its central message is clear: autonomy is not inherently unsafe—but ungoverned autonomy is.
