The provision creates an operational framework requiring privacy and security to be embedded in AI system development and deployment rather than added post-implementation. This establishes a baseline requirement for how Microsoft's AI products must be architected and maintained.
Users operate under terms where Microsoft's AI services are required to incorporate privacy controls and security safeguards by design. The specific mechanisms for data protection and access control are determined by the systems' implementation of this standard.
