AI Governance Principles

  • Role-based permissions everywhere β€” the AI sees exactly what the human user is permitted to see
  • Full audit trail β€” every action logged with session, user, parameters, and outcome
  • Usage limits per organisation β€” prevents runaway agent costs
  • No data egress β€” AI actions operate on in-organisation data only
