AI Governance & Compliance
AI governance is how organizations decide what AI use is allowed — and prove those decisions are followed.
In short: AI governance translates acceptable-use policy into roles, controls, monitoring, and evidence. AI compliance is the ability to demonstrate that those controls work.
From policy documents to enforceable controls
A PDF policy does not stop a risky paste into ChatGPT. Governance needs a control plane: browser inspection, admin roles, and an audit trail security and legal teams can trust.
AI compliance checklist (starter)
Use this as a practical starting point — adapt it to your industry and counsel guidance.
- Inventory approved AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, others)
- Define prohibited data categories for prompts
- Assign owners for policy, exceptions, and incident response
- Enable monitoring and retention appropriate to your risk
- Train employees and measure exception rates
- Review logs and update policy on a set cadence

Common questions
What is the difference between AI governance and AI security?
Governance sets the rules and ownership. AI security implements technical controls — like prompt inspection — that make those rules real.
Do regulators require AI governance?
Requirements vary by industry and region. Even without a specific AI statute, existing privacy and security obligations often imply control over AI data flows.
