Applied guidance

Best practices for security & governance

Recommended

  • Enforce authorization where data and tools are accessed, not only in the interface.
  • Use least privilege, protected credentials, approvals for consequential writes, and reviewable activity history.

Avoid

  • Do not treat a connected system or model provider as inside the same trust boundary as Outborn Account.

01

Identity and SSO

Organization identity and supported SSO controls establish who can enter the product and which organization context they act within.

02

Organization boundaries

Resources remain scoped to their owning organization and permitted Spaces.

03

Permissions

Product permissions should be enforced where resources and tools are accessed, not only hidden in the interface.

04

Credential storage

Connection credentials and provider sessions are sensitive secrets and should remain protected server-side.

05

Least privilege

Grant only the scopes, tools, data, and actions required for the intended workflow.

06

Approval-gated actions

Keep consequential external changes visible and waiting for human authorization when approval is required.

07

Audit history

Material administrative and execution events should remain inspectable for operational and governance review.

08

Data handling

Data access should follow source ownership, organization policy, retention expectations, and applicable contractual controls.

09

Model and provider boundaries

Hosted AI, Provider Subscription, and Provider API use different access and commercial boundaries. Provider terms still apply to provider-owned services.

10

External integrations

An external integration retains its own provider permissions and availability even when accessed through OutbornAI.

11

Governance

Governance combines identity, access, provider policy, source control, approvals, auditability, and operational ownership.
