Why It Matters for AI Governance
Privacy by design for AI systems means building PII detection, consent management, and audit logging into the core architecture rather than bolting them on later. Gateway-based governance is an example of privacy by design.
How CrewCheck Handles This
CrewCheck's LLM gateway applies privacy by design-related controls at the request boundary. Every AI call passes through detection, policy evaluation, and audit logging — ensuring that privacy by design is addressed consistently across all teams and providers.
The governance dashboard provides real-time visibility into privacy by design events, with drill-down capabilities for compliance officers and exportable evidence for auditors.
