The AI governance agreement depends on evidence finance accepts and controls security will approve.
Finance protects a credible spend case while security protects a durable access architecture.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My CISO wants the access controls settled, and finance keeps asking whether the AI numbers are real.”
Kenza Moradi · IT Security Manager
Owns application governance for a regulated enterprise evaluating a multi-product access security agreement.
What is at stake
A $2.4M ARR agreement is stalled because finance rejects the savings case and security rejects a SaaS-only scope. You must weigh a narrower deal that can close quickly against the platform commitment the customer needs.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- speed to procurement approval vs durable platform scope
- finance proof vs security architecture
- multi-year ARR vs adoption readiness
- incumbent certainty vs unified access outcomes
