Pre-launch review
AI Launch Security Review Packet
Know what must be fixed, accepted, or evidenced before launch.
The first deliverable is a decision package: what is in scope, what is required, what is blocked, and what can proceed.
No production testing, adversarial activity, access to secrets, or customer-data processing happens without explicit authorization and the right agreement path. Do not enter secrets or credentials here.
What to gather for this packet
Needed: What is launching and to whom · Architecture / data-flow overview · Demo or staging access · Prompts, RAG, agents, authz, logs
Helpful: Prior assessments · Known concerns · Compliance frameworks
Bring names and high-level descriptions only — exact targets, accounts, and credentials are shared later through a secure channel.
