Secure AI Implementation
Whenever an AI system will touch data that is not already public, which in practice means almost every enterprise deployment.
Secure implementation means authentication, least-privilege data access, output filtering, and audit logging designed in from the start rather than retrofitted after a security review. Retrofitting is more expensive and produces weaker controls.
The control that matters most is where authorization is evaluated. Enforced in the interface it can be bypassed through the API; enforced at retrieval it cannot be bypassed by asking differently.
What the work includes
- Request-level authentication against the organization's identity provider
- Authorization enforced at the data retrieval layer, not the interface
- Output filtering as a safety net for prompt injection and sensitive data exposure
- Immutable audit logging of access, inference, and data movement
