Requirement Details & Guidance

AIG-005-R008 · AIG-005
Why This Requirement Exists

This requirement exists to test AI systems against disruptions, attacks, failures, and recovery scenarios and document results, ensuring AI systems are governed, secured, assessed, and operated in a controlled and accountable manner.

Implementation Guidance

Establish and document the process to test AI systems against disruptions, attacks, failures, and recovery scenarios and document results. Define accountable roles, scope, required inputs and outputs, assessment or approval criteria, decision thresholds, review frequency, monitoring, reporting, exception handling, evidence requirements, and escalation paths. Apply the process across the AI lifecycle and integrate it with information security, privacy, risk, compliance, change management, incident management, and business governance as applicable.
