Mid-market organizations are adopting AI faster than their governance frameworks can keep up. Risk officers face pressure to provide clear, credible oversight, but lack structured methods to assess, prioritize, and report AI-specific risks in ways that resonate with board priorities. Without a common language and repeatable process, AI projects proceed without sufficient guardrails or get blocked entirely due to uncertainty.
