Governance Checklist
Omnichannel messaging platforms handle regulated data every minute. Use this checklist to keep stakeholders aligned before you flip the switch.
- Document which teams own each channel and ensure they share the same SLA timers.
- Tag regulated conversations (HIPAA, PCI) so AI responses respect compliance guardrails.
- Enable audit logging + transcript exports before onboarding executives or finance.
- Localize templates and data storage for markets that require EU or GCC residency.
- Pair AI automation with approval flows for high-risk responses (refunds, legal).
