Governance, Security & Responsible Technology Use

• Ensure data privacy, information security, and regulatory requirements are identified and addressed in project plans and deliverables.
• Follow MedRisk policies for the responsible use of AI tools, including the protection of confidential and sensitive information and appropriate human review of AI-assisted work.
