Data Security and Privacy with Azure OpenAI in Nerdio Manager

Azure OpenAI services, as used by Nerdio Manager, prioritize customer data security by ensuring all data interactions occur within the boundaries of the customer's Azure tenant. The following points provide a detailed breakdown of why customer data remains secure and why there is no risk of leakage:

Tenant-Exclusive Azure Resources

Azure OpenAI services are deployed as private Azure resources within your organization's Azure tenant. This means that all computational operations, including processing prompts and generating responses, are confined to your controlled environment. These resources are isolated from other tenants and from Microsoft's general-purpose services.

No Public Interaction with External Models

Unlike publicly available AI services such as ChatGPT, which operate in shared environments and may handle data from multiple customers, Azure OpenAI services operate exclusively within your tenant.

• No Data Transfer to Public LLM Models: There is no exchange of data between Azure OpenAI services and publicly available large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or other vendors' platforms. This isolation eliminates any potential for data exposure through external AI models.

Data Stays Within Your Tenant

Any data you provide in prompts to Azure OpenAI services, such as customer information, sensitive queries, or operational instructions, never leaves your Azure tenant. Microsoft does not store, review, or extract data from these interactions. This ensures compliance with your organization’s data governance and regulatory requirements.

Compliance with Azure’s Security Framework

Azure OpenAI services adhere to Azure's robust security and compliance standards, including:

• Data encryption at rest and in transit.

• Role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure only authorized users or systems can interact with the service.

• Audit logs for tracking access and operations, helping to maintain accountability and transparency.

Independent of Public AI Systems

Nerdio Manager’s use of Azure OpenAI is entirely distinct from Microsoft's publicly available AI services. Public platforms such as ChatGPT process data in shared, cloud-based environments, which could pose potential risks of data mingling or unintended exposure. By leveraging Azure OpenAI within your tenant, Nerdio Manager ensures an environment dedicated solely to your operations.

Customer Control over Data Lifecycle

Because the data resides in your Azure tenant, you have full control over its lifecycle. You determine how long data is retained, whether it should be deleted, and how it is managed. This control minimizes the risk of unintended exposure and aligns with organizational policies.
