    Summary of Risk and Compliance Tab in AI Control Tower

    The Risk and Compliance tab in the AI Control Tower provides insights into the risk classification of AI assets and their compliance with relevant authority documents and policies. AI assets include AI systems, models, and datasets, which are critical for AI development and operation. Effective management of these assets ensures reliability and compliance with regulatory standards.

    Key Features

    • Compliance Overview: Displays risk classifications (High, Medium, Low, Unacceptable) of AI assets using donut charts, along with compliance scores for frameworks like NIST and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
    • Compliance by Authority Documents and Policies: Offers a detailed view of compliance scores, allowing users to filter by specific documents or policies and see immediate issues related to compliance.
    • Risk Overview: Tracks the risk posture of AI assets, filtered by type. It includes visual representations of risk scores and a heatmap for identifying risks based on control effectiveness.
    • Regulatory Landscape Overview: Requires the installation of the GRC: Regulatory Change Management application to display regulatory alerts, change tasks, and assessments linked to regulatory changes.

    Key Outcomes

    By utilizing the Risk and Compliance tab, organizations can effectively monitor their AI assets' risk and compliance status, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. Users can customize displayed documents and policies to align with their operational needs, which aids in addressing compliance issues proactively and maintaining an ethical AI framework.

    The Risk and compliance tab on the AI Control Tower displays the risk classification of an AI asset inventory and the compliance posture for the selected authority documents and policies.

    AI assets refer to the various components and resources that are essential for the development, deployment, and operation of artificial intelligence systems. These assets can include:

    1. AI systems The complete software or hardware infrastructure that runs AI algorithms and processes. This can include machine learning platforms, natural language processing systems, and other AI-driven applications.
    2. AI models: The mathematical and computational models that are trained on data to perform specific tasks. These models can range from simple linear regression models to complex deep learning neural networks.
    3. Datasets: The collections of data used to train, validate, and test AI models.

    Understanding and managing these AI assets is crucial for ensuring that AI systems are effective, reliable, and compliant with regulatory and ethical standards as defined by your organization.

    The Risk & compliance dashboard has the following sections. You can drill-down into the data on each widget in any section.

    Compliance overview

    Regulatory risk classification
    This section displays the risk classifications of AI systems, AI models, Datasets using donut charts. The risks are qualitatively classified as High, Low, Medium, and Unacceptable. These classifications are based on the risk assessments of the AI assets.
    Compliance by authority documents and policies
    The section shows compliance based on controls implemented. By default, the compliance scores are displayed for the following frameworks that are provided in the library:
    • NIST AI Risk Management Framework: This framework displays the four key associated citations, namely map, measure, manage, and govern. Each citation's compliance score is displayed based on its control attestations.
    • EU Artificial Intelligence Act: This framework has multiple chapters that are displayed as citations and child citations. Each citation is mapped to a control objective to provide you with a compliance percentage score.

    You can choose to view compliance data by selecting one of two options: Authority Documents or Policies. Additionally, you can view the overall compliance score percentage, along with the number of compliant and non-compliant authority documents and policies, by using the drop-down filter to select specific authority documents or policies. You can also see all the issues that require immediate attention and AI cases related to each authority document or policy.

    The authority documents are provided solely for informational and guidance purposes to assist with the initial setup of AI Risk and Compliance frameworks. It does not constitute legal advice or assurance of regulatory compliance. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all use of the content complies with applicable laws, regulations, directives, and industry standards in their jurisdictions.

    Note:
    You can configure which authority documents and policies you want to display on the home page. For more information, see Set up properties for compliance posture.

    Risk overview

    This section monitors and tracks the risk posture of the AI assets in your organization. Using the AI asset filter, you can filter risk posture insights by the type of AI asset inventory.

    AI systems by aggregated risk score
    This section displays the classifications of AI systems by aggregated risk score using donut chart. The risk scores are qualitatively classified as High and Low.
    Risk heatmap
    The Risk heatmap widget displays the visualization of all identified risks within the AI assets. By default, residual risk filter is applied, but you can filter it based on inherent risk level. The heatmap is segmented, and the segmentation changes based on the filter. The activities fall under the respective combination of risk and control effectiveness, or impact and likelihood. The combination is based on the selected risk classification filter. You can filter the risk heatmap by Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM), if you have more than one risk RAMs published.

    Regulatory landscape overview

    You need to install GRC: Regulatory Change Management application to see this section. For more information, see Installing Regulatory Change Management.

    Overview
    • Alerts

      This section displays the distribution of regulatory alerts by workflow state or lifecycle phase using a donut chart.

    • Change tasks

      This section displays the distribution of regulatory change tasks by workflow state or lifecycle phase using a donut chart.

    Assessments
    This section displays the regulatory impact assessments and risk assessments linked to regulatory changes using a donut chart. By default, regulatory assessments filter is applied, but you can change it to risk assessments.
