AI Policy for Chief Information Security Officers
The CISO carries ultimate accountability for protecting the organization from AI-related security threats. From shadow AI sprawl to adversarial model attacks, the threat surface is expanding faster than manual controls can keep pace. A structured governance program turns reactive fire-fighting into proactive risk management.
Primary Responsibilities
- Establishing and enforcing enterprise-wide AI security policies and acceptable-use standards
- Conducting threat modeling and risk assessments for AI/ML systems before production deployment
- Implementing monitoring controls for shadow AI usage across business units
- Ensuring AI model pipelines meet data-loss-prevention and encryption requirements
- Coordinating incident response procedures for AI-related security breaches
- Reporting AI risk posture to the board and aligning with the enterprise risk register
Questions Auditors Will Ask
- How do you identify and inventory all AI systems operating within the enterprise?
- What controls prevent unauthorized AI tools from accessing sensitive data?
- How is AI model provenance tracked from training data through to deployment?
- What is your incident response plan for an AI system that leaks regulated data?
- Can you demonstrate continuous monitoring of AI-related vulnerabilities?
