Data boundaries
Agree what data can be used, where it can move and what stays outside the workflow.
Security and governance are part of the implementation, not a document added after it. Identify designs controls around the workflow, data and level of risk involved.
Different workflows need different controls. A marketing workflow, a legal drafting workflow and a finance workflow should not share the same assumptions about data, permissions or human review.
Agree what data can be used, where it can move and what stays outside the workflow.
Give each system only the access it needs to perform the job.
Keep people responsible for material decisions, exceptions and sensitive outputs.
Choose models and services with privacy, security, capability and business context in mind.
Test real workflows, edge cases and failure modes before expanding use.
Make responsibilities, escalation and review clear once the system is in production.
During Map we identify sensitive data, systems, risk and decision boundaries. During Build we design access, testing and human review into the workflow. During Activate we establish ownership, training and the operating controls that keep the system useful.
Identify does not present certifications, security accreditations or vendor endorsements unless they have been independently verified. Where a client requires a formal control framework, we design the implementation around the organisation’s own legal, security and compliance requirements.
