AI Security And Governance
Written AI policy aligned to your industry’s ethics and regulatory framework, technical controls behind it, and the surrounding identity and audit infrastructure. The AI posture leadership now has to defend.
What Does Hi-Tek AI Security & Governance Cover?
Hi-Tek AI Security & Governance is a fully managed AI policy and controls engagement. We write the AI policy aligned to your industry’s framework (NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, ABA Formal Opinion 512 for legal, AICPA professional conduct for accounting, HIPAA Security Rule and FDA-relevant guidance for healthcare). We deploy the technical controls behind the policy: Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels, conditional access, identity governance, audit-logging infrastructure, approved-tool inventory. We keep both current as regulators and carriers update guidance.
What’s Included In AI Security & Governance
Written AI Policy Aligned To Your Framework
Industry-specific AI policy aligned to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, your industry’s professional conduct standard (AICPA, ABA, etc.), HIPAA Security Rule for healthcare, and your cyber insurance carrier’s expectations. Reviewed annually as the frameworks update.
Approved-Tool Inventory
Documented inventory of which AI tools are approved, which are gated, and which are blocked. Microsoft 365 Copilot, the Hi-Tek Managed Secure AI Platform, third-party tools your business chooses. Updated as new tools come online and as governance matures.
Technical Controls Behind The Policy
Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels and DLP rules. Conditional access tied to AI tool access. Identity governance with privileged access management for AI admin functions. The technical layer that makes the policy enforceable, not just aspirational.
Audit-Logging Infrastructure
Audit logging suitable for regulator review (HIPAA Security Rule, OCR, FTC, ABA, AICPA peer review), malpractice carrier review, and internal AI program governance. The evidence package leadership needs when the question gets asked.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Governance
Copilot deployment in a properly configured tenant: sensitivity labels, conditional access, DLP rules, audit logging. Tenant covered by Microsoft’s BAA where applicable (HIPAA contexts). Governance evolves as Microsoft adds Copilot capabilities.
Annual Cycle: Policy Review, Tool Re-Approval, Audit
Annual policy review. Quarterly approved-tool inventory refresh. Annual AI governance audit. Tabletop exercises against AI-misuse scenarios. The cadence regulators and carriers increasingly expect to see in mature AI programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my business need an AI policy?
Your team is already using AI in some form. The question isn’t whether to allow it; it’s whether your business has a defensible answer when a regulator, malpractice carrier, cyber insurance carrier, or client asks how AI is governed. The answer should be a written policy, technical controls behind the policy, and audit logging.
Which framework does Hi-Tek align to?
We align to NIST AI Risk Management Framework as the foundation. Then layer in industry-specific standards: ISO 42001, ABA Formal Opinion 512 for legal, AICPA professional conduct for accounting, HIPAA Security Rule for healthcare, FTC Safeguards Rule where applicable. The policy reflects what regulators and carriers in your industry actually expect.
Is Microsoft 365 Copilot safe for my industry?
Microsoft 365 Copilot in an enterprise tenant configured with sensitivity labels, conditional access, DLP rules, and audit logging can be deployed safely. Configuration matters significantly. We configure Microsoft 365 environments for Copilot before deployment in workflows that touch regulated data.
What’s the Hi-Tek Managed Secure AI Platform?
Hi-Tek’s hosted AI platform for cases where Microsoft 365 Copilot doesn’t fit (often industry-specific workflows or scenarios where the data sensitivity requires more granular control). Built with the AI policy and audit logging baked in.
Do you handle BAAs for AI tools?
Yes. Where AI tools touch PHI, we ensure BAAs are in place with the AI vendor (Microsoft for Copilot in HIPAA contexts, etc.) and tracked in the BAA inventory. Vendor selection considers BAA availability.
How often does the AI policy need to be updated?
Annual review minimum. Practically, we update the policy when major regulatory guidance changes (NIST AI RMF updates, OCR guidance, FTC guidance, AICPA SAS updates, ABA opinions). Most clients see one or two material updates per year right now.
Can you handle our AI tool inventory?
Yes. The approved-tool inventory tracks which AI tools are approved for which use cases, which are gated (require approval), and which are blocked. We refresh quarterly and as new tools come online.
What’s the difference between AI Security & Governance and AI Solutions for Business?
AI Security & Governance is the policy and controls layer (defensive). AI Solutions for Business is the implementation and productivity layer (offensive — getting actual value out of AI tools). Most clients engage both: the governance layer protects the business, the solutions layer creates productivity gains.
