Review and validate handling of sensitive, confidential, personal, and regulated data in AI systems to ensure alignment with security, privacy, and compliance expectations.
Assess AI initiatives involving training data, prompts, embeddings, vector stores, retrieval pipelines, outputs, memory, and third-party or externally hosted services for privacy and data protection risks.
Validate implementation of data handling controls such as classification, minimization, masking, anonymization, pseudonymization, retention, deletion, and controlled data sharing across AI workflows.
Evaluate high-risk AI data usage scenarios, including production data usage, regulated information, external providers, and cross-border data processing considerations.
Assess re-identification risks in embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval mechanisms where sensitive or regulated data is present.
Evaluate risks of unintended memorization and sensitive data leakage from trained models, generated outputs, and retrieval-driven interactions.
Review data protection implications of GenAI capabilities such as retrieval, prompt storage, conversation history, long-term memory, and generated output handling.
Validate the use and effectiveness of privacy-enhancing technologies such as differential privacy, anonymization, pseudonymization, masking, synthetic data, or related protective controls where applicable.
Work with Legal, Privacy, Compliance, Security, Product, and Engineering teams to clarify requirements and support compliant AI data usage decisions.
Document assessment findings, identified gaps, and clear remediation recommendations for AI data privacy and protection reviews.
Support risk discussions, remediation tracking, evidence collection, and exception handling for identified privacy or data handling issues.
Contribute reusable assessment checklists, review criteria, guidance notes, and governance artifacts to improve consistency and quality of AI data protection and privacy reviews.
