Guardrails
Guardrails are checks around an AI system that limit what goes in and what comes out. Examples are filters for personal data, rules on topics the system may not discuss and validation of the answer format. They reduce risk but do not remove it, so they are used together with testing and human review.
Definitions are general and kept short on purpose. Check the vendor documentation or the regulation for the details of your case.
