Architecture
AI Security & Governance Architect
Compliance and auditability baked into the design
Designs systems with compliance baked in — GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, data lineage, model auditability, access controls. Increasingly critical as AI touches regulated data.
What this role covers
Security posture — Where data moves, who can access what, compliance by design not retrofit
Model auditability — Data lineage, explainability, decision logging
Access controls — Role-based permissions, data masking, encryption at rest and in transit
Regulatory frameworks — GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, EU AI Act — compliance before deployment
Risk modeling — Identifying and mitigating model failure modes before they become legal exposure
When you need this role
Healthcare, legal, financial services, government
"We can't touch production data with AI tools because legal won't approve it. We need an architecture that gives us AI capabilities without the compliance exposure."
Enterprise preparing for EU AI Act, SOC2
"Our board is asking about AI governance and we don't have an answer. We need the system designed to be auditable from day one."
