Enterprise AI adoption is speeding up, but security readiness is not. This guide focuses on the real controls teams are using to ship AI safely with RAG, agent tools, and compliance requirements.

RAG introduces new exposure points
Retrieval means external data enters the model context. Secure it with allowlisted sources, content validation, and redaction for sensitive fields.
Agent tools should follow least-privilege rules. Separate read vs write access, require approval for high-risk actions, and log every tool invocation.
Prompt injection is now a business risk
Treat inputs as untrusted. Use sanitization, instruction hierarchy, and tool-output validation to prevent malicious prompts from hijacking workflows.
Data classification and masking
Define which data is safe for model context. Mask or tokenize PII, PHI, and financial data before it ever touches the model.
Human-in-the-loop for critical actions
For payments, deletions, or contract changes, require explicit approval steps. Automation should speed decisions, not bypass them.
Audit logs and evidence trails
Compliance teams need evidence. Capture prompts, tool calls, outputs, and final actions so you can prove accountability later.
Incident response and rollback plans
Assume failures. Build rollback steps, rate limiting, and anomaly alerts so AI actions can be reversed quickly.
The bottom line
Enterprise AI security is not a single control. It is a system of guardrails, permissions, and continuous auditability.
