Evaluation guide

What to verify for this use case

Foundational security requirement

Controls for unapproved AI use

Block, coach, redirect, or contain non-approved AI use and policy-violating AI interactions.

Questions to test
  1. A policy blocks, coaches, redirects, or contains a test interaction with an unapproved AI destination.
  2. The control event records policy reason, user, destination, action, and timestamp.
  3. An allowlist or exception path changes the outcome for an approved AI destination.

Additional security requirement

Browser and business-application controls

Apply session-level controls in browser and software as a service (SaaS) workflows, including uploads, downloads, copy/paste, sharing, and identity-aware access decisions.

Questions to test
  1. A session-level policy controls upload, download, copy, paste, sharing, or form submission in a browser or software as a service (SaaS) workflow.
  2. The policy decision includes user, app, session, or identity-aware context.
  3. The event record shows affected action, user, app, and timestamp.

Foundational security requirement

Sensitive-data protection for generative AI

Detect, classify, redact, or block sensitive data in prompts, responses, files, retrieval, memory, and AI-connected workflows.

Questions to test
  1. Sensitive prompt, response, or file test data is detected and classified during an AI interaction.
  2. A policy redacts, blocks, coaches, or records the sensitive data event before it leaves the approved path.
  3. The evidence record shows data class, user, app or model, action, and timestamp.

Foundational security requirement

Unapproved AI use discovery

Discover and monitor workforce AI tools, accounts, prompts, domains, models, users, and usage outside approved controls.

Questions to test
  1. An unmanaged AI app used by a test user appears in discovery inventory with user, app or domain, and timestamp.
  2. The test user's AI usage activity can be filtered or exported with AI-specific context.
  3. Approved and unapproved AI destinations or accounts are distinguishable in the evidence record.
