A buyer's guide to private AI platforms on Azure

The questions to ask vendors about data residency, model access, RBAC and total cost of ownership.

Use these questions to compare private AI platforms on the points that matter to IT and security teams.

Data residency

Where are prompts, files and logs stored, and who can access them?

Model access

Which models are available, and can admins restrict them by role?

Total cost of ownership

How is usage billed, and can spend be capped by department?

The AI Platform for Regulated Institutions

Replace shadow AI with one governed platform

Every day without governance is another day of AI happening to you instead of for you. Take control of your data, your budget, and your security today.
