Model Version Security	Pin model versions; security test with each ~2.3-month update; maintain rollback capability
Provider Trust	Data processing agreements with LLM providers; evaluate compliance with EU data residency requirements
Open-Source Model Risks	Vulnerability scanning for self-hosted models; model integrity verification; sandboxed inference
AGI Safety	Human oversight requirements for all security-critical decisions; kill switch architecture; ethical guardrails
Multi-Provider Resilience	Security controls work across Anthropic, OpenAI, open-source; no single-provider security dependency
