AI System Governance plan
The Governance plan shows, for one AI System, which frameworks apply, which workspaces are required, and the controls, open work and risks that follow.
- In the app
- AI System → Governance plan, or Project → Discover & Register → Governance Plans for every system
The plan is built from the frameworks in scope for the project and the system's recorded facts. It updates when an assessment is re-approved or the system's facts change; there is nothing to generate by hand.
What the plan shows
- Frameworks that apply: the project frameworks relevant to this system.
- Required workspaces: the assessments the system needs, such as DPIA, bias assessment, human oversight or technical documentation. Each shows Not required, Not started, In progress, Complete or Needs attention.
- Controls: the controls mapped to the system and their status.
- Open work and Risks: outstanding tasks and the system's risks.
Work through the plan
- 1Open each required workspace that is not complete and finish it.
- 2Use Open system assurance to test controls and attach evidence.
- 3When the plan is complete, use Request decision with the action Approve governance plan to record formal acceptance.
When it changes
Adding a framework, re-approving an assessment or changing the system's facts updates the plan. Earlier decisions stay in the Decision Ledger, so you can see what was approved before the change.
