AI Governance Checklist for SMBs

AI governance for SMBs should be practical enough to use. Start by deciding which tools are approved, what data is prohibited, who reviews risky outputs, and how exceptions are handled.

Bonelli Systems is an AI-first Information and IT Service Provider in Dallas, combining Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, compliance support, and Applied AI Engineering.

Checklist

  • Approved AI tools and owners are documented.
  • Confidential, client, personal, and regulated data rules are clear.
  • High-risk outputs require human review.
  • Vendor terms and data handling are reviewed before adoption.
  • Prompts, outputs, and workflow changes are logged where appropriate.
  • Employees know what is allowed, prohibited, and escalated.
  • Exceptions are tracked and reviewed.

Use governance to unlock safe adoption

The objective is not to block AI. The objective is to make productive use cases safe enough to scale.

Turn this into a practical operating plan.

Bonelli Systems helps teams connect AI adoption, Microsoft 365 readiness, cybersecurity, compliance evidence, and operational controls into work that can be implemented and monitored.
