AI Governance Policy Template for Startups

Startup teams need a lightweight but clear policy for data handling, model access, and release approvals. This template balances speed and control.

Implementation Steps

  1. Define data-class boundaries for each AI use case.
  2. Assign a single owner for policy updates and incident triage.
  3. Set a monthly policy review cadence with clear change log.
  4. Require approval for model/provider changes in production flows.
