Approved environment
A model and processing environment authorized for the applicable data, retention, access, and tool policy.
Definition
A model and processing environment authorized for the applicable data, retention, access, and tool policy.
Practical test
Can the accountable data owner identify the exact provider, account, model, retention, access, connectors, and task they approved?
Example
Approval for an enterprise text workspace does not automatically cover a consumer account or a new web-search connector.
What to record
For approved environment to be operational rather than a reassuring label, record the approver, data class, configuration, permitted use, decision date, and review date. If those facts cannot be observed or tested, do not treat the term itself as evidence that the workflow is safe.
