01 / 02AI governance checklist

What should an AI governance checklist include?

Use cases, access, approvals, quality and audit.

How we make this work

A practical checklist starts with a use-case inventory. It then defines access boundaries, approval routes, quality checks, monitoring, incident response and audit evidence. Each control needs a named owner and a review date. This prevents governance from becoming a document nobody can follow.

  • Use-case inventory
  • Access and approvals
  • Quality and audit
How often should governance be reviewed?

02 / 02AI governance checklist

How often should governance be reviewed?

Quarterly or after major changes.

How we make this work

Review governance at a set cadence and whenever systems, data or workflows change materially. If a control adds friction without reducing risk, redesign it. Paloren recommends quarterly reviews for active systems and event-triggered reviews after source changes or incidents.

  • Quarterly review
  • Event-triggered review
  • Control redesign
