AI Governance Best Practices for Enterprise GenAI Programs
Centralized policies, model approval workflows, audit logging, and cost controls — AI governance best practices for production GenAI.
1. Central control plane
Route all LLM traffic through a governed gateway like Velia Core with RBAC and cost analytics.
2. Model approval workflows
Define which models, prompts, and tools are approved for each use case and environment.
3. Retrieval-time access control
For RAG, enforce data boundaries at retrieval — not just in the UI.
4. Immutable audit logs
Log queries, retrievals, model versions, and agent actions for compliance reviews.
5. Continuous evaluation
Regression tests and production monitoring are part of the release pipeline.
