Governance

Responsible AI use, information classification and the EFIC AI tools register

Safe for external sharing
Public
Information already published or approved for public release. May be used with any approved AI platform.
Business use only
Internal
Day-to-day operational information not intended for the public. Avoid pasting identifiable internal details into consumer AI tools.
Restricted
Confidential
Client, employee, contractual or financial information. Anonymise or redact before use and prefer an approved enterprise environment.
Strictly controlled
Highly Confidential
Material financial data, security details, credentials, proprietary methodology or sensitive personal data. Must not be entered into non-approved external AI platforms.
The human review principle
AI output is a draft, never a decision. Every AI-assisted deliverable must be reviewed by a competent person before it is issued to management, a client, a regulator or the Board. The reviewer remains accountable for accuracy, confidentiality and professional judgement.
Governance prompt templates

Build strong institutional prompts for policies, contract reviews, risk registers, DPIAs and audit checklists — then run them in any approved AI tool with the built-in counsel-review safeguards.

AI Tools Register (sample)

This is a sample / default register provided as a starting point. No approval status shown here represents an EFIC decision. Actual approval must be verified and confirmed by EFIC management and the designated governance owners before any tool is used with non-public information.
