RISK DOMAIN 02: INDUSTRY

Fiduciary Liability in the Age of Inference.


You protect your documents. But who protects your drafts? When your lawyers and strategists use AI to 'think,' they are turning your trade secrets into training data.

Is your strategy session unintentionally leaking confidential information?

THREAT VECTORS


The Fiduciary Gap

Attorney-Client privilege protects the final email. It does not protect the 45 minutes the lawyer spent typing queries into a chatbot to draft that email. That thinking process is now external property.

Inferential Leaks

Even if you don't type your strategy, your behavior reveals it. AI can infer something is happening just by watching the types of questions your executives are asking.

REQUIRED PROTOCOLS


01 / ZERO-TRAINING CONTRACTS

Legal mandates that your data (and the metadata of your usage) cannot be used to train base models.

02 / EPHEMERAL PROCESSING

Data must be deleted immediately after the session ends. No long-term memory for corporate AI tools.

Use "Walled Garden" AI where the model comes to your data, but your data never leaves your perimeter.

03 / ISOLATED INFRASTRUCTURE
