High-Value Context

Financial copilots often work around customer records, research, portfolio context, trading restrictions, and regulated communications. Data sensitivity should drive the control model.

Employee Usage

Govern external AI tools and internal copilots with prompt inspection, app policy, and department-level dashboards. Employees need clarity on what data can be used where.

Runtime Protection

Customer-facing assistants and internal agents should enforce policy before exposing sensitive data or calling downstream systems. Tool use deserves special scrutiny.

Risk Evidence

Audit, model risk, compliance, and security teams need logs that explain what happened, why policy acted, and how issues were remediated.
