AI Tool Use Review Procedure

Advisory operating guidance for ai tool use review within corporate insider risk management contexts.

Procedure Definition

This procedure provides high-level guidance for reviewing AI tool use that could expose sensitive data, intellectual property, source code, regulated information, or business secrets.

When to Use This Procedure

Use when employees, contractors, or business teams want to use generative AI, copilots, AI agents, transcription tools, code assistants, or other AI-enabled services with organizational data.

Why It Matters for Exposure

AI tools can create new exposure pathways for sensitive data, source code, IP, regulated information, customer data, and confidential business context. Review procedures help teams approve use cases responsibly.

Advisory parameters protect employee trust and organizational safety without introducing automated configuration noise.
