New RFP Template for AI Usage Control and AI Governance
Summary
Organizations are struggling to implement AI Governance (rules and controls for AI use) because they lack clear requirements for evaluating solutions. A new RFP (request for proposal, a document used to ask vendors what they can do) Guide has been released to help security leaders shift from trying to track every AI app to instead monitoring AI interactions (the moments when employees use AI tools), using eight key evaluation areas like discovery, policy enforcement, and real-time blocking of data leaks.
Solution / Mitigation
The source mentions a new RFP Guide for Evaluating AI Usage Control and AI Governance Solutions as the tool to address this problem, and recommends using its eight-pillar framework (AI Discovery & Coverage, Contextual Awareness, Policy Governance, Real-Time Enforcement, Auditability, Architecture Fit, Deployment & Management, and Vendor Futureproofing) to evaluate vendors rather than relying on legacy security tools that lack interaction-level visibility.
