Your environment. Your controls.
Technology choices change. Customer authority should remain explicit. Twelve customer controls govern data, access, models and assurance across the agreed production system.
Data layer
Data residency
Approved storage and processing locations.
Approved environments
Cloud, sovereign or on-premises infrastructure.
Access layer
Identity and access
Users, service identities and permission boundaries.
Keys
Key custody, use and revocation.
Human approval
Named authority before defined actions.
Model layer
Models
Versions, endpoints and routing.
Agents
Permitted actions and operational limits.
Kill switch
A controlled route to stop the system.
Assurance layer
Evaluation and assurance
Evidence against agreed acceptance criteria.
Audit logs
Protected records of access, outputs and actions.
Vendor exit
Portability, migration and substitution.
01 / OPERATING EVIDENCE
Control is implemented, not asserted.
For each control, the implementation identifies the owner, the technical mechanism and the evidence used to accept it. Portability depends on the agreed interfaces, formats and supplier terms. It is tested and documented, not assumed.
Customer data is not authorised for supplier model training merely because it is used to provide the service. Processing purposes, retention, support access and any permitted reuse belong in the agreement.

UAE requirements shape the implementation.
Privacy regime
The federal Personal Data Protection Law, DIFC law and ADGM regulations have different scopes. Identify the applicable regime and any exclusions before agreeing the processing design.
UAE Government: data protectionData location and access
Local hosting is not a complete data-flow assessment. Review inference, storage, logs, support access and backups. Transfer conditions, sector rules and customer approvals affect the design.
ADGM: data protectionGovernment and regulated work
Government classification, financial-sector controls and health-data requirements need a use-case-specific review. For banks, CBUAE rules include UAE record-location and offshore-sharing conditions within their scope.
CBUAE: outsourcing outside the UAEAI oversight
Define the people authorised to review, approve and stop consequential actions. DIFC Regulation 10 includes requirements for personal data processed through autonomous and semi-autonomous systems within its scope.
DIFC: Regulation 10General deployment information, reviewed against the cited public sources on 8 September 2026. It is not legal advice or a compliance certification. Confirm the applicable rules and final architecture with your legal, privacy and security owners before production.
