AI tools: Code generation

Coding copilots and generators. They transmit source-code fragments, credentials left in comments and business logic to third-party servers, often with training on your data enabled by default.

Critical exposure:

Direct harm is possible: identity fraud, biometric data, or autonomous action without oversight.

High exposure:

Naturally receives sensitive corporate data: source code, contracts, customer records.

Moderate exposure:

Risk depends on what goes in. Requires an explicit classification in your policy.

Low exposure:

Narrow scope and clear vendor governance. A candidate for the allowed list.
