1) Start from data minimization defaults
Security posture improves when the platform stores less by default. Sentinel Primo is built around metadata-focused logging so teams can maintain operational observability without retaining full prompt and response bodies unnecessarily. This reduces exposure while preserving actionable diagnostics.
Establish explicit policies for what is retained, where it is retained, and for how long. Pair those rules with ownership boundaries so each team knows who can approve changes. Clear governance up front prevents exception sprawl later.
- Retain metadata required for operations and audit, nothing beyond scope.
- Document retention windows per environment.
- Treat payload logging as exception-only, with approvals and expiration.
2) Enforce PII handling in the request path
PII controls are most reliable when enforced before provider forwarding. Sentinel Primo policy can detect sensitive entities and apply allow, redact, or block outcomes according to workload rules. This makes privacy behavior deterministic and reviewable across teams.
Redaction should be tuned to business requirements, not broad assumptions. Start with high-confidence entity classes and expand iteratively based on audit findings. The goal is practical risk reduction while preserving useful model output.
- Use policy modes per endpoint or workload category.
- Track redaction and block rates as operational metrics.
- Review false positives/negatives on a defined cadence.
3) Keep access and audit boundaries explicit
Strong control planes separate responsibilities clearly. Sentinel Primo supports project-level keys and workspace boundaries so access follows organizational structure. This helps platform teams delegate safely while keeping oversight centralized.
Audit readiness depends on consistent records, not ad-hoc logs. Ensure request lifecycle events capture policy decision, route decision, and completion status in one trace. With that structure in place, security and compliance reviews become faster and less disruptive.
- Scope keys to project and environment boundaries.
- Preserve immutable audit trails for policy and route outcomes.
- Track SSO/RBAC roadmap items transparently as planned controls.
