Service 03 — Implementation

AI that strengthens your security posture.

Q: Can we use AI if we handle CUI?

Often, yes, with the right platform, configuration and controls. Solvere One evaluates options against your specific obligations.

Q: Will our data be used to train AI models?

It depends on the tool and contract. Solvere One reviews the terms for every recommended solution and avoids those that do not meet your requirements.

Q: How do you stop employees from using unapproved AI tools?

With policy, technical controls on unsanctioned services, approved alternatives that meet real needs, and staff training.

Q: Does this help with our CMMC assessment?

AI-related controls are mapped to NIST SP 800-171 families and configurations are documented to support your System Security Plan and assessment evidence.

Every AI solution we recommend meets rigorous security, privacy, and compliance standards. For government contractors and CMMC-regulated organizations, that means AI adoption that strengthens your compliance posture rather than jeopardizing it.

Our standardYour data stays protected at every stage — before, during and after go-live.

The new attack surface

AI introduces risks your current controls weren't built for.

AI tools read, summarize and act on your data at machine speed. That's what makes them powerful — and why they need to be implemented with the same rigor as any system that touches sensitive information.

Oversharing at scale

AI assistants respect existing permissions — including the bad ones. Files that were "hidden" by obscurity become one question away.

Data leaving your control

Staff pasting contracts, CUI or client data into public AI tools can violate obligations — and you may never know it happened.

iii.

Untrusted inputs & outputs

Prompt injection, manipulated documents and confident-but-wrong answers require guardrails, monitoring and human review.

Data protection

Sensitive data is discovered, classified and labeled. Data loss prevention and encryption policies follow it wherever AI can reach.

Identity & access

Least-privilege permissions, phishing-resistant MFA and conditional access ensure AI only surfaces what each user should see.

Model & vendor

We verify where prompts and outputs are processed and stored, retention periods, and whether your data can be used for model training.

Monitoring & audit

AI activity is logged, retained and monitored, giving you evidence for compliance and early warning of misuse.

Governance & people

Approved-tool policies, unsanctioned-AI controls and training close the gap between technical controls and daily behavior.

Defense in depth

Five layers between AI and a breach.

We don't rely on any single control. Each layer is designed so that if one fails, the next one holds — the same approach we apply to every environment we manage.

Deployment inside your approved tenant and boundaries
Sensitivity labels and DLP enforced before AI is enabled
Unsanctioned AI tools identified and controlled
Options evaluated for Microsoft GCC and GCC High environments

Hover or tap each ring to see how that layer protects your organization.

Compliance-first

AI risks, mapped to the controls you already answer to.

For CMMC-regulated organizations, AI isn't a separate compliance universe. We tie each AI risk to the NIST SP 800-171 control families behind CMMC Level 2 — so AI becomes part of your existing compliance story.

AI risk

Control family

How we address it

AI surfaces data users shouldn't see

3.1 Access Control

Permission cleanup, least-privilege access and restricted discovery for sensitive sites and files.

Compromised accounts misusing AI

3.5 Identification & Authentication

Phishing-resistant MFA and conditional access policies for AI-enabled services.

Sensitive data pasted into public AI

3.13 System & Comms Protection

Approved-tool boundaries, web and app controls for unsanctioned AI, and data loss prevention.

CUI leaving controlled environments

3.8 Media Protection

Sensitivity labeling, encryption and DLP rules that follow CUI into AI workflows.

No record of AI activity

3.3 Audit & Accountability

Audit logging, retention and alerting on AI usage to support investigations and evidence.

Misconfigured AI services

3.4 Configuration Management

Documented secure baselines and change control for AI features and integrations.

Vendor & model risk

3.11 Risk Assessment

Vendor data-handling review and AI entries in your risk register, revisited on a schedule.

Staff unaware of AI risks

3.2 Awareness & Training

Role-based AI security training tied to your acceptable-use policy.

AI-related security incidents

3.6 Incident Response

AI scenarios added to your incident response plan and exercised in tabletop drills.

Mapping shown for illustration. Your specific obligations depend on your contracts, data types and System Security Plan — we tailor the mapping to your environment.

Pre-flight before go-live

Nothing launches until it's cleared.

Before any AI capability reaches your users, it passes a documented pre-flight review. If a control isn't in place, the pilot waits — no exceptions, no shortcuts.

What's included

Secure by design, documented by default.

Everything we implement is documented — so you have the evidence your auditors, assessors and leadership will ask for.

Secure architecture & hardening

Tenant and platform configuration aligned to security best practice before AI features are enabled.

Identity & access controls

Least privilege, MFA, conditional access and permission remediation so AI respects the right boundaries.

Data protection

Classification, sensitivity labels, DLP and encryption policies that travel with your data into AI workflows.

Vendor & contract review

Data residency, retention, sub-processors and model-training terms reviewed before you sign.

Monitoring, logging & alerting

Visibility into how AI is used, with alerts for risky behavior and retention for investigations.

Compliance documentation

Configuration records and control narratives that support your System Security Plan and assessments.

Security FAQ

Security questions we welcome.

Can we use AI if we handle CUI?

Often, yes — with the right platform, configuration and controls. The key questions are where data is processed and stored, who can access it, and how activity is logged. We evaluate options, including those designed for government environments, against your specific obligations.

Will our data be used to train AI models?

That depends entirely on the tool and the contract. Enterprise offerings frequently commit not to train on customer data, while many consumer tools do. We review the terms for every solution we recommend and steer you away from those that don't meet your requirements.

How do you stop employees from using unapproved AI tools?

With a combination of policy, technology and better alternatives. We provide approved tools that meet real needs, apply web and application controls to unsanctioned services, and train staff on why it matters.

Does this help with our CMMC assessment?

Our goal is for AI to strengthen your compliance posture. We map AI-related controls to the NIST SP 800-171 families you already answer to and document configurations to support your System Security Plan and assessment evidence.
