Governance & Policy

Purpose and scope

Define data, IP, privacy, and attribution rules for AI-assisted work.

Outcomes

• Clear policy referenced in onboarding.
• Approval steps for sensitive data.
• Audit trails for all agent actions.

Signals of trouble

• Shadow AI use outside policy.
• No record of prompts, decisions, or outputs.
• Overly broad prohibitions blocking safe wins.

Remediation steps

1. Publish AI policy; align with legal and security.
2. Log prompts, outputs, and approvals; route to SIEM if needed.
3. Create a permit process for new workflows.
