If you are the CISO at a large enterprise or critical infrastructure organization, this playbook was built for you.
As the executive accountable for enterprise-wide risk posture, you are under increasing pressure to establish governance over artificial intelligence and machine learning systems that are being adopted rapidly across business units, often without formal oversight. Shadow AI deployments, unapproved third-party models, and data leakage through public AI tools present new attack vectors that traditional security controls do not detect. You must demonstrate measurable progress in AI risk management to both the board and external regulators, while aligning with emerging standards and proving due diligence in AI oversight.
Regulatory scrutiny is intensifying, with mandates requiring documented AI risk assessments, human oversight mechanisms, and controls to prevent unauthorized data exposure through generative AI platforms. You are expected to detect and respond to AI-related incidents, such as model poisoning, prompt injection, or misuse of proprietary data in external models. At the same time, your team lacks standardized processes to assess AI risk culture across departments, define ownership for AI governance, or implement network-level monitoring to identify rogue AI usage. Without a structured approach, your organization remains exposed to compliance gaps, reputational damage, and operational disruption.
A comparable implementation by a major consulting firm would cost between EUR 120,000 and EUR 180,000. Building an internal team of three full-time staff to develop equivalent materials would take five to seven months of effort. This playbook delivers the same depth of structure, documentation, and operational guidance for $395.

Domain assessments
The playbook includes seven 30-question domain assessments, each designed to evaluate a core area of AI governance maturity. Each assessment generates a scored maturity rating and identifies gaps for remediation.
- AI Risk Awareness and Training: Evaluates employee understanding of AI risks, policy familiarity, and training completion rates across departments.
- Data Governance for AI: Assesses controls over training data sourcing, labeling practices, data lineage, and consent management.
- Model Development and Deployment: Reviews processes for model validation, version control, bias testing, and deployment approvals.
- Third-Party AI Oversight: Measures due diligence practices for vendor models, API integrations, and external AI service providers.
- Network and Endpoint Security: Evaluates technical capabilities to detect and block unauthorized AI tools on corporate networks and devices.
- Incident Response and Recovery: Tests readiness to detect, contain, and remediate AI-related security events such as data leakage or model compromise.
- Executive Oversight and Accountability: Assesses board-level reporting, governance structure clarity, and defined ownership for AI risk decisions.
