Why Azure OpenAI for this
The evidence pack is the deliverable auditors actually want: what the system does, what data trained it, who oversees it, and what happens when it fails.
Azure OpenAI is strongest at enterprise compliance posture and integration with existing Microsoft estates. For ai governance & compliance that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: quota management and regional capacity can constrain scaling at short notice. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions
Does the DPDP Act apply to our AI systems?
If you process personal data of individuals in India, yes, including training data and prompts. Consent, purpose limitation and data-principal rights all apply, and prompt logs are frequently the overlooked exposure.
Do we need ISO 42001?
Not always, but it is becoming a procurement expectation in enterprise and public-sector deals. It is worth pursuing when your buyers ask for it.
Can you work with our existing GRC function?
Yes. We map AI-specific controls onto the framework you already run rather than introducing a parallel one.
