- Drafting enforceable acceptable use policies for AI and data analytics with clear disciplinary consequences
- Embedding policy checkpoints into procurement workflows for vendor onboarding
- Designing approval workflows that require documented justification for policy exceptions
- Implementing version control and access logs for policy repositories to support audit trails
