How to Implement AI Governance with Context-Aware Project Controls

Create context-aware guardrails for your enterprise AI agent using a 'Project' governance layer. As a project owner, define rules, scope tools, and require human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive actions, ensuring safe and effective AI use.

How to Implement AI Governance with Context-Aware Project Controls

Before you start

The workflow

Follow the sequence once, then adapt the prompts, checks, and handoffs to your own setup.

4 steps

Step 01

Define a Project and Assign an Owner

Create a 'Project' within your AI platform to act as a governance container for a specific team or workflow. Assign a Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) as the owner.

Step 02

Configure Project-Specific Settings

In the project settings, configure defaults to manage cost and performance. This can include specifying a default LLM (e.g., a cheaper model like Claude Code) or scoping the available AI skills to only those relevant to the project.

Step 03

Set Human-in-the-Loop Tool Policies

Define policies for sensitive tools. For a specific project, you can require explicit human approval before the AI agent is allowed to use a tool like Google Calendar or access a private data source.

This creates 'appropriate friction,' shifting the security burden from the end-user to the platform, which enforces context-specific policies.

Step 04

Test the Governance Policy

Within the project's context, prompt the AI to perform an action that triggers the policy to ensure the human-in-the-loop confirmation dialog appears as expected.
