General AI Usage Policy Template

Customers looking for a practical starting point for AI governance can now use our new General AI Usage Policy Template. Instead of forcing teams to jump straight into a full governance framework, the template gives them a lightweight way to cover the essentials now, including approved AI tool use, confidential data handling, human review of AI output, vendor diligence, incident reporting, and training.

Notes

• This template is designed as a practical starting point for everyday AI use. It helps teams put basic guardrails in place quickly, and customers should review and adapt it to fit their organization’s needs and legal requirements.

• For new customers who purchase either a Drata-managed framework or a custom framework, the General AI Policy is provisioned in Policy Center as part of the policy template set.

• Existing customers will not see this policy added automatically, but they can download it from the Drata blog or the Help Center article and upload it as a custom policy.

• The policy is not mapped to any framework or control by default, so customers can archive it if they do not plan to use it, or map it to the frameworks and controls that make sense for their program.
