Generated imagery for marketing and design, and the rights, accuracy and disclosure checks it needs.

We see one common way businesses use Midjourney, and we govern it on its own terms. If your team uses it differently, that is fine: you describe the use in your own words and Certrak works out the governance from what it actually does.

Governing Midjourney in practice
- Name one person who owns Midjourney in your business. Governance starts with a name.
- Write down what Midjourney is used for. Certrak recognises one common use: Image, video, or design creation. Yours may differ; write down yours.
- Decide what Midjourney may and may not be given. Internal business information is in scope, so name what stays out.
- Agree that a person reviews every output before it is used, and name who.
- Look at this again twice a year, and sooner on any of these: industry incidents and vendor model updates.
What changed, and how Certrak responded
We record every check here, including the ones that changed nothing. A check that found no governance change proves we looked.
