Microsoft Frontier governance, on your terms.

What you will take away

• Frontier is an early access program gated by an active Microsoft 365 Copilot license, not a product and not the E7 Frontier Suite.
• The two meanings of Frontier are routinely conflated at the buying table, which lets bundle and access conversations blur together.
• Opt in is tenant managed, so it is a governance decision for security, compliance, and procurement, not an IT toggle.
• Preview features reached users two to four quarters before the controls around them were mature in the engagements behind this paper.
• Frontier is the delivery channel for agentic capability such as Copilot Cowork, so Frontier posture equals agent readiness posture.
