An organization utilizes an off-the-shelf generative AI solution for internal business processing.

In a " Software as a Service " (SaaS) or off-the-shelf AI model deployment, the " Shared Responsibility Model " dictates that the vendor is responsible for the " Security OF the model " (infrastructure, base training, core safety), while the customer is responsible for the " Security IN the model " (usage). The organization ' s primary duty is " Defining usage policies and enforcing IAM " to ensure that only authorized employees use the tool and that they do not input sensitive corporate data into unvetted prompts. This governance ensures the AI is used ethically and securely within the organization’s specific operational context.
