What IT approves before anything connects

One scoped connection, written down on a one-page review sheet before anything connects.

What IT approves

One scoped connection, between the AI tool one team already uses and your team's copy: a separate copy that holds only that team's material, kept apart by architecture, not by policy. Before anything connects, IT gets a one-page review sheet: what connects to what; what it may read and write; what it may send, and where; which credentials are issued and how they are revoked; where the copy runs, who operates it and how people sign in, as agreed with you; who can switch it off at any point and what stops; and the end date, the closing review and what is kept afterwards. The connection is authenticated and scoped to that copy. Those technical details go to your IT team on the sheet; they are not published on this site, so ask the team for the sheet.
