Section A: Governance & Accountability (The "Control" Layer)

1. Has the organization adopted a formal "AI Governance Framework" with documented policies for development and deployment?
2. Are "High-Risk" AI systems (e.g., HR, Credit, Medical) formally identified and subjected to rigorous Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)?
3. Is there a documented "Chain of Responsibility" ensuring explainability for every AI-driven decision?
4. Is AI Risk Oversight explicitly integrated into the responsibilities of the Board or C-Suite leadership?
5. Do vendor contracts explicitly define liability and ownership of AI-generated outputs (Company vs. Provider)?
6. Are copyright "opt-outs" respected, and is restricted data technically excluded from vendor training sets?

Section B: Data, Privacy & Transparency (The "Trust" Layer)

7. Can the provider cryptographically prove "Data Lineage" to certify that training data is legally sourced and bias-free?
8. Are privacy policies explicitly updated to address AI processing (meeting GDPR/CCPA minimization standards)?
9. Are technical controls (e.g., DLP) in place to prevent sensitive data leakage into external/public models?
10. Is all AI-generated content (text, image, video) clearly and automatically labeled or watermarked?
11. Are regular bias and fairness audits conducted on AI systems, with documented remediation processes?
12. Is there a documented incident response plan specifically for AI system failures or misuse?

Section C: Training & Third-Party Verification (The "Evidence" Layer)

13. Have employees who use or interact with AI systems received formal AI governance training with documented completion records?
14. Are training certifications and compliance records maintained by an independent third-party for audit verification?
