Governing Zoho Zia in practice
- Name one person who owns Zoho Zia in your business. Governance starts with a name.
- Write down what Zoho Zia is used for. Certrak recognises 4 common uses: Sales lead scoring and prioritisation, Customer segmentation and personalisation, Customer communications drafting and Internal data analysis and insights. Yours may differ; write down yours.
- Decide what Zoho Zia may and may not be given. Personal information is in scope for some uses; write the boundary down before it is needed.
- A person reviews most outputs and exceptions are flagged. Agree what counts as an exception and who sees it.
- Look at this again every quarter, and sooner on any of these: industry incidents, vendor model updates and data classification changes.
