AI governance controls

A Control is a practical recurring measure that meets an obligation or reduces risk.

Control example

Requirement: human oversight is required. Control: high-impact AI recommendations must receive human review before final action.

Control lifecycle

  1. 1Select or create the control and link applicable requirements.
  2. 2Assign an owner and record implementation status.
  3. 3Attach or request supporting evidence.
  4. 4Test whether the control operates as intended.
  5. 5Create Findings and remediation when it does not.

Avoid concept overlap

  • A Control is not the authoritative Requirement.
  • A Control is not the one-time Task used to implement it.
  • A Control is not the Assessment or Test used to verify it.
