Cybersecurity Policy for Generative AI
Effective Date: [Enter Date]
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines and
best practices for the responsible and secure use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) within our organization. Generative AI refers to technology that can generate human-like text, images, or other media content using AI algorithms.
2.0 Scope
This policy applies to all employees, contractors, and third-
party individuals who have access to generative AI technologies or are involved in using generative AI tools or platforms on behalf of our organization.
3.0 Acceptable Use
3.1. Authorized Use
Generative AI tools and platforms may only be used for business purposes approved by the organization. Such purposes may include content generation for marketing, product development, research, or other legitimate activities.
3.2. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
All users of generative AI must comply with applicable laws, regulations, and ethical guidelines governing intellectual property, privacy, data protection, and other relevant areas. 3.3. Intellectual Property Rights Users must respect and protect intellectual property rights, both internally and externally. Unauthorized use of copyrighted material or creation of content that infringes on the intellectual property of others is strictly prohibited.
3.4. Responsible AI Usage
Users are responsible for ensuring that the generated content produced using generative AI aligns with the organization's values, ethics, and quality standards. Generated content must not be use if it is misleading, harmful, offensive, or discriminatory.
4.0 Access and Security
4.1. Authorized Access
Access to generative AI tools, platforms, or related systems should be restricted to authorized personnel only. Users must not share their access credentials or allow unauthorized individuals to use the generative AI tools on their behalf.
4.2. Secure Configuration
Generative AI tools and platforms must be configured securely, following industry best practices and vendor recommendations. This includes ensuring the latest updates, patches, and security fixes are applied in a timely manner.
4.3. User Authentication
Strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), should be implemented for accessing generative AI tools and platforms. Passwords used for access should be unique, complex, and changed regularly. 4.4. Data Protection
1. Users must handle any personal, sensitive, or
confidential data generated or used by generative AI tools in accordance with the organization's data protection policies and applicable laws.
2. Encryption and secure transmission should be
employed whenever necessary.
3. Inputting sensitive, or confidential organization
data into an online AI prompt is prohibited.
4. A DLP (Data Loss Protection) solution should be
implemented and used to stop data leaks from AI.
5.0 Monitoring and Incident Response
5.1. Logging and Auditing
Appropriate logging and auditing mechanisms should be implemented to capture activities related to generative AI usage. These logs should be regularly reviewed to detect and respond to any suspicious or unauthorized activities.
5.2. Incident Reporting
Any suspected or confirmed security incidents related to generative AI usage should be reported promptly to the organization's designated cybersecurity team or incident response personnel.
5.3. Vulnerability Management
Regular vulnerability assessments and security testing should be conducted on generative AI tools and platforms to identify and address any security weaknesses or vulnerabilities. 6.0 Training and Awareness
6.1. Education and Training
Employees and relevant personnel should receive training on the responsible and secure use of generative AI. This training should cover topics such as ethical considerations, potential risks, security best practices, and compliance requirements.
6.2. Awareness Campaigns
Regular awareness campaigns and communications should be conducted to reinforce the importance of cybersecurity, responsible AI usage, and adherence to this policy.
7.0 Non-Compliance
Non-Compliance with this policy may result in disciplinary
action, up to and including termination of employment or contract, and legal consequences if applicable laws are violated.
8.0 Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed periodically and updated as
necessary to address emerging risks, technological advancements, regulatory changes
