How to Review Cybersecurity Before Using a Generative AI Service With Client Data

11/11/2026

A generative AI service may process prompts, files, or chat history outside the organization. Client confidentiality depends on service terms, retention, access controls, and whether data is used to improve the provider’s models.

What to check

Review data classification, provider retention and training settings, access controls, region, administrative visibility, deletion, and contract obligations. Determine whether an approved enterprise configuration exists.

Recommended next step

Use only an approved service for the relevant data category, minimize or anonymize information, and define user guidance and incident reporting. Review settings whenever the provider changes its terms or features.
