Customer, operational, and financial records deserve a clear plan. We define access, hosting, retention, and integrations for each app, with additional isolation and data-use decisions where sensitive workflows or AI require them.
Start with the roles, the approved information sources, and the actions each person should be able to take.
People and roles with a clear purpose
Only the information the workflow needs
Access changes and responsibility for review
02 / THE DECISION
Choose the environment.
Where should the application and its data run?
Compare suitable local, U.S.-based, and customer-controlled options. Make provider relationships, the location of data processing, and responsibility for upkeep explicit before choosing the environment.
Hosting, storage, and processing locations
Access from providers and connected services
Maintenance, backups, and operating responsibilities
03 / THE DECISION
Agree what stays.
What should be retained, and for how long?
Treat storage, logs, backups, and removal as part of the solution design. The plan should distinguish business records from temporary processing data.
Data needed for the business process
Retention and deletion requirements
How backup and service limitations are handled
04 / THE DECISION
Set the AI boundaries.
If you choose AI, what environment does it need?
For medical, legal, or other sensitive workflows, assess the use case and whether an isolated AI environment is appropriate. Agree on permitted information, model-provider terms, and review steps before connecting real data.
Separate environments and access where required
Approved inputs, provider data use, and retention
Evaluation and human review where it matters
Privacy matched to the work.
Controls and availability depend on the use case, architecture, providers, and agreed scope. For projects involving patient information or confidential client records, the proposal also defines any required isolation, provider arrangements, and sector-specific commitments.
