AI Governance & Responsible Use
Use AI with confidence, not crossed fingers.
Strategiza helps companies put practical AI governance in place: acceptable-use policies, data handling rules, protection of client and company IP, human-in-the-loop review, vendor risk assessment and compliance considerations. Governance that enables your teams to use AI well, rather than stopping them.
01 AI acceptable-use policies
02 Data handling and IP protection
03 Human-in-the-loop review
04 Vendor risk and compliance considerations
Why it matters
Your employees are already using AI. The question is how.
Without clear rules, people paste confidential client information into consumer AI tools, publish AI output without checking it and sign up for apps nobody has assessed. Banning AI rarely works; it just pushes use out of sight.
Good governance gives people clear, practical guidance on which tools to use, what data is allowed where, when human review is required and how to raise concerns. It protects the business while letting teams capture the benefits of AI.
Signs you need AI governance
- You don’t have an AI acceptable-use policy.
- Employees use personal AI accounts for work.
- Client contracts or regulations restrict how data can be used.
- AI output is published without consistent review.
- Nobody has assessed the AI vendors you rely on.
- Customers or partners are asking about your AI practices.

03
Implement

04
Monitor
We review usage, update policies as tools and rules change, and support audits and customer questions.

FAQ
AI governance questions.
Do small and mid-sized companies need AI governance?
Yes, in proportion. Even a short acceptable-use policy and approved-tools list significantly reduces risk.
Is this legal advice?
No. We provide practical policy and process guidance and work alongside your legal advisors on legal and regulatory questions.
How do we stop employees using personal AI accounts?
By providing approved business tools with appropriate data settings, clear rules and training. See Claude Implementation & Rollout.
Can you help us answer customer security questionnaires about AI?
Yes. We help you document your AI practices so you can answer customer and partner questions confidently.
How often should policies be updated?
AI tools and regulations change quickly, so we recommend regular reviews, at least annually and whenever you adopt significant new tools.
