Short answer
Yes. As part of its AI Adoption & Enablement service, FirstCoreAI, FirstNet's AI business unit, helps you define AI usage policies, data-handling rules and guardrails aligned to POPIA, so people know what is safe to share and AI use stays compliant.
In detail
Most AI projects stall between the pilot and everyday use: people are unsure what they may share, data ends up in foreign services and nobody owns the outcome. Governance answers those questions before AI use spreads.
What the governance work covers:
- Usage policies that set out how AI may be used in your organisation.
- Clear data-handling rules on what data may be used where.
- Guardrails that help keep everyday use within policy.
- Timing: in FirstCoreAI's adoption path, policies, guardrails and training are in place before wider rollout, after a controlled pilot.
It also helps that the assistants themselves run on the Sovereign AI Factory in FirstNet's South African data centre: prompts and documents are processed in the country rather than sent to foreign services, which removes the biggest data risk first.
FirstCoreAI can scope governance work alongside a pilot on a 30-minute scoping call.
