Scale AI With a Risk-Based Control Framework
Build an AI governance approach that matches oversight to risk—combining regulatory expectations with the operational, financial, reputational, security, and data risks that matter to your organization.
- A six-phase methodology for managing AI risk across the lifecycle
- A practical approach to identifying, assessing, and prioritizing use-case-specific risks
- A four-pillar control model spanning governance, prevention, detection, and correction
What's Inside the Guide
A practical methodology for turning AI risk assessment into proportionate controls, clear accountability, and continuous governance.
Define the solution’s purpose, business objectives, users, stakeholders, models, data sources, integrations, regulatory context, and human oversight.
Identify relevant risks and evaluate their likelihood and impact across the organization, affected individuals, and society.
Select safeguards that address prioritized risks and reduce exposure to a level aligned with the organization’s risk appetite.
Assign owners for individual risks and controls so that implementation, monitoring, approval, and risk acceptance are explicit.
Embed the framework into existing governance structures, project delivery methods, and operating processes across the AI lifecycle.
Reassess risks and controls as models, data sources, functionality, operating environments, and regulatory expectations change.
This Is for You If...
- Your organization is expanding its use of AI and needs governance that can scale across different use cases
- You need to evaluate AI risk beyond regulatory compliance, including potential operational, financial, reputational, cybersecurity, intellectual-property, and third-party impacts
- Your teams need a repeatable way to connect risk assessments with proportionate controls, accountable owners, and ongoing monitoring
If you are looking only for a high-level summary of AI regulation, this guide may be more detailed than you need. It is designed for organizations that are ready to establish an AI risk-management framework or mature existing governance practices.

What is a risk-based AI control framework?
A risk-based AI control framework connects the risks associated with a specific AI use case to proportionate safeguards. It brings together identified risks, assessed risk levels, selected controls, ownership responsibilities, and governance decisions so that oversight reflects the actual exposure rather than applying the same requirements to every AI system.
