Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance & Responsible Use Statement
At Cynet, AI is a force multiplier – not a replacement for human judgment. We are committed to deploying AI that is secure, transparent, and fair, and to fostering a culture of proactive ownership at every level of our organization.
Scope & Application
At Cynet, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to enhance business operations, improve efficiency, and support informed decision-making while maintaining responsible governance and accountability. This statement reflects a single, consistent standard that we apply across every location and jurisdiction in which we operate, including throughout the United States and Canada and other geographies. Where a specific law imposes a stricter requirement, we follow that stricter requirement in that location. Our goal is one high standard everywhere, rather than the minimum permitted in any given place.

Third-Party AI Services
Where AI technologies are provided by third-party vendors or service providers, Cynet conducts appropriate legal, privacy, security, and risk assessments before implementation. Third-party AI solutions are expected to meet applicable contractual, regulatory, and security requirements consistent with Cynet’s governance standards and applicable laws.
Legal & Regulatory Compliance
Cynet complies with all applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, local, and international laws, regulations, regulatory guidance, contractual obligations, and industry standards including key state-level laws such as the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), health-information privacy requirements such as HIPAA where applicable, and applicable U.S. state AI-specific laws governing the responsible use of AI, privacy, cybersecurity, automated decision-making, employment, biometric privacy, employment, healthcare, consumer protection, and data protection and any other such governance in every jurisdiction Cynet operates.
Individual Rights
Responsible Use of AI in Recruitment and Employment Decisions
- Notice. We inform candidates and employees when AI is used in a meaningful way to screen, assess, or help select them.
- Human review. Consequential decisions about a person are not made by AI alone; qualified personnel review and retain responsibility for the outcome.
- Fairness and bias testing. AI tools used in people-related decisions are subject to bias and fairness review, with corrective action taken where issues are identified and records maintained for accountability.
- No prohibited proxies. We do not permit AI to use protected characteristics or close proxies for them, such as ZIP or postal codes as a basis for employment decisions.
- Accommodation. We provide reasonable alternatives or accommodations where an individual is unable to be fairly assessed by an automated tool.
