In this guide

Governance is not a binder on a shelf—it’s an operational system. The best approach is lightweight but enforceable: define what’s allowed, log what happens, and maintain a human override where it matters.

Core controls we implement

  • Tool gating: approval required for sensitive actions (refunds, cancellations, outbound campaigns).
  • PII handling: minimization, redaction, retention policies.
  • Audit logs: prompts, tool calls, outputs, and final actions.
  • Monitoring: failure modes, escalation patterns, and drift checks.

Documentation you actually use

  • System diagram + tool inventory
  • Risk register + mitigations
  • Evaluation plan + acceptance thresholds
  • Incident playbook (what to do when it breaks)

For many teams, governance becomes a competitive advantage: it increases reliability, reduces risk, and speeds up approvals from stakeholders.
