ENTERPRISE READINESS CENTER
A procurement checklist for staged Astra access.
For CTOs, security teams, AI leaders, developers, and procurement.
Trusted Access is rolling out, but a launch announcement is not an enterprise contract. This center turns the remaining security, privacy, identity, compliance, procurement, and cost questions into a structured diligence queue.
CURRENT STATE
Trusted Access is live; procurement details remain open.
Enterprise access is available through OpenAI’s Trusted Access Program for eligible organizations. The current model record does not by itself publish an enterprise plan, retention policy, compliance attestation, or procurement contract.
DILIGENCE MATRIX
Ten questions before a buying decision.
“Unknown” is an actionable state: it tells a team what evidence to request, not what conclusion to draw.
| Topic | Question | Evidence needed | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | Which plans, regions, and deployment surfaces can a company buy? |
| Unknown |
| Privacy | How is customer data stored, retained, and used for training or improvement? |
| Unknown |
| Identity | Which SSO, SCIM, and access-control features exist? |
| Unknown |
| Auditability | Can security teams export logs, review tool use, and investigate incidents? |
| Unknown |
| Security | What isolation, monitoring, and abuse-prevention controls protect enterprise workloads? |
| Unknown |
| Compliance | Which compliance attestations and subprocessors are documented? |
| Unknown |
| Evaluation | How should a team test reliability, misuse risk, and human approval requirements? |
| Unknown |
| Procurement | What commercial terms, support commitments, and exit paths apply? |
| Unknown |
| Cost management | Which budgets, quotas, alerts, and usage reports are available? |
| Unknown |
| Incident response | What should an enterprise do when the system produces a security or reliability incident? |
| Unknown |
ROLL-OUT DESIGN
Prepare the operating model before access.
A model rollout should have a human approval path even when the vendor facts are complete.
Evaluate
Test representative tasks, misuse cases, failure recovery, and calibration in a sandbox.
Govern
Define who can use tools, what data is allowed, which actions require approval, and how logs are retained.
Budget
Set per-team and per-workflow budgets with a verified price record and explicit usage assumptions.
Respond
Write the incident path for unsafe output, data exposure, provider outage, and unexpected behavior.
