AI Governance Self-Audit & Assurance

Run an internal assurance review of your AI governance across the eight pillars and a civil-rights lens. Rate each control for design adequacy and operating effectiveness, and get an assurance opinion you can defend.

This is the assurance layer that sits over the rest of the framework. Where the Maturity Assessment reads how developed your governance is, this tests whether each control is built to meet its objective and is actually operating on the evidence — the difference between 'we have a policy' and 'we can prove it works.' It opens full-screen so you have room to work through every control, and your ratings are saved on this device.

  • A five-phase method: scope & risk → evidence → test → conclude → report
  • Control objectives across all eight pillars, plus a Civil Rights & Equity control set
  • Design vs. operating effectiveness rated separately for every control
  • An overall assurance opinion — reasonable, qualified, or limited — with the basis
  • Auto-generated findings in audit form, plus blank AI impact-assessment and board-summary templates
  • Progress saved locally on this device

A self-audit instrument for internal assurance, not an independent third-party audit. It supports, and does not replace, your privacy, security, and legal review. Where it differs from your institution's policies, your policies govern.
