- A verbal assurance from the vendor's sales team that their data practices meet accepted industry standardsPlausible but wrong: unrecorded verbal assurances are not enforceable and provide no auditable disclosure.
- The organization's internal acceptable-use policy, which governs employees but not the external vendor's practicesPlausible but wrong: an internal acceptable-use policy binds staff, not the vendor's data-sourcing practices.
- A post-deployment customer survey measuring satisfaction with the AI system's accuracy once it is already livePlausible but wrong: a satisfaction survey after go-live does not assure how data is sourced or updates are managed.
- Contractual clauses and vendor assessments requiring disclosure of data sourcing and change-management practices ✓Correct: contracts and assessments compel documented disclosure of data sourcing and update handling.
The trap
Relying on informal verbal assurances instead of enforceable contractual disclosure and vendor assessment. How to remember it
Contractual clauses and vendor assessments compel documented disclosure of data sourcing and update practices.
