SECURE GenAI Use Framework for Staff
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The S.E.C.U.R.E. GenAI use framework for staff is designed to help staff make informed decisions about using Generative AI (GenAI) software. It empowers staff to evaluate and test GenAI technologies confidently and responsibly without requiring explicit university approval, provided their use remains within predefined risk boundaries. The framework prioritises protecting personal data, intellectual property, and ethical standards, ensuring staff can safely explore GenAI while adhering to university policies and relevant legislation. The framework comprises six risk categories: Security Credentials (S), Ethical Use (E), Confidential Information (C), Use of Personally Identifiable Data (U), Rights Protection (R), and Evaluation (E). Each area prompts users to assess potential impacts and, where necessary, apply safeguards or seek institutional approval. When no risk is identified, staff may proceed with their use case. Where risks are present, staff are supported to mitigate them or seek guidance before continuing.
