    Summary of Risk & compliance tab

    The Risk & compliance tab within the AI Risk and Compliance workspace provides a comprehensive view of the risk classification and compliance posture of your AI asset inventory. AI assets include AI systems, AI models, and datasets essential for AI development, deployment, and operation. Managing these assets effectively ensures your AI systems remain reliable, effective, and aligned with organizational regulatory and ethical standards.

    This dashboard displays data exclusively for Managed AI assets, while Unmanaged assets remain visible in inventory but are excluded from metrics and summaries. Users with the AI steward role can manage asset statuses.

    Key Features

    • Compliance overview: Presents risk classifications (High, Medium, Low, Unacceptable) for AI systems, models, and datasets using visual charts. Compliance can be reviewed by authority documents or policies, showing compliance scores, counts of compliant/non-compliant items, and highlighting issues requiring immediate attention along with related AI cases.
    • Risk overview: Offers insights into AI assets’ risk postures filtered by asset type. Visualizations include aggregated risk scores for AI systems (classified as High or Low) and a risk heatmap showing risks by control effectiveness and impact/likelihood, with filters for residual or inherent risk and different Risk Assessment Methodologies.
    • Regulatory landscape overview: (Requires GRC: Regulatory Change Management app) Displays regulatory alerts, change tasks, and assessments through charts categorized by workflow state or life cycle phase, aiding in tracking regulatory changes and their impact on AI assets.

    Practical Application for ServiceNow Customers

    This dashboard empowers you to monitor and manage AI-related risks and compliance systematically, ensuring your AI assets adhere to regulatory requirements and internal policies. The ability to filter and drill down into detailed compliance and risk data helps prioritize remediation efforts and maintain governance over AI developments.

    By configuring which authority documents and policies appear on your dashboard, you can tailor the compliance view to your organizational needs. Additionally, integrating with Regulatory Change Management enhances your ability to stay informed about external regulatory changes impacting your AI assets.

    Overall, the Risk & compliance tab supports proactive risk management and compliance assurance, helping mitigate potential AI-related risks and maintain regulatory alignment in your AI initiatives.

    The Risk & compliance tab on the AI Risk and Compliance displays the risk classification of an AI asset inventory and the compliance posture for the selected authority documents and policies.

    AI assets refer to the various components and resources that are essential for the development, deployment, and operation of artificial intelligence systems. These assets can include:

    1. AI systems: The complete software or hardware infrastructure that runs AI algorithms and processes. This can include machine learning platforms, natural language processing systems, and other AI-driven applications.
    2. AI models: The mathematical and computational models that are trained on data to perform specific tasks. These models can range from simple linear regression models to complex deep learning neural networks.
    3. Datasets: The collections of data used to train, validate, and test AI models.

    Understanding and managing these AI assets is crucial for ensuring that AI systems are effective, reliable, and compliant with regulatory and ethical standards as defined by your organization.

    The Risk & compliance dashboard has the following sections. You can drill down into the data on each widget in any section.

    Note:
    Dashboards in the AI Risk and Compliance Workspace (Risk and Compliance, Operations, and AI Cases) display data for Managed AI assets only. AI assets that are marked as Unmanaged are excluded from dashboard widgets, metrics, and summary counts, but remain visible in inventory and list views. If you have the AI steward [sn_ai_governance_ai_steward] role, you can mark assets as Managed or Unmanaged. For more information, see Managed and unmanaged AI assets.

    Compliance overview

    Regulatory risk classification
    This section displays the risk classifications of AI systems, AI models, Datasets using donut charts. The risks are qualitatively classified as High, Low, Medium, and Unacceptable. These classifications are based on the risk assessments of the AI assets.
    Compliance by authority documents and policies
    The section shows compliance based on controls implemented.

    You can choose to view compliance data by selecting one of two options: Authority Documents or Policies. Additionally, you can view the overall compliance score percentage, along with the number of compliant and non-compliant authority documents and policies, by using the drop-down filter to select specific authority documents or policies. You can also see all the issues that require immediate attention and AI cases related to each authority document or policy.

    The authority documents are provided solely for informational and guidance purposes to assist with the initial setup of AI Risk and Compliance frameworks. It doesn’t constitute legal advice or assurance of regulatory compliance. You’re solely responsible for ensuring that all use of the content complies with applicable laws, regulations, directives, and industry standards in their jurisdictions.

    Note:
    You can configure which authority documents and policies you want to display on the home page. For more information, see Set up properties for compliance posture.

    Risk overview

    This section monitors and tracks the risk posture of the AI assets in your organization. Using the AI asset filter, you can filter risk posture insights by the type of AI asset inventory.

    AI systems by aggregated risk score
    This section displays the classifications of AI systems by aggregated risk score using donut chart. The risk scores are qualitatively classified as High and Low.
    Risk heatmap
    The Risk heatmap widget displays the visualization of all identified risks within the AI assets. By default, a residual risk filter is applied, but you can filter it based on inherent risk level. The heatmap is segmented, and the segmentation changes based on the filter. The activities fall under the respective combination of risk and control effectiveness, or impact and likelihood. The combination is based on the selected risk classification filter. You can filter the risk heatmap by Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM), if you have more than one risk RAMs published.

    Regulatory landscape overview

    You need to install GRC: Regulatory Change Management application to see this section. For more information, see Installing Regulatory Change Management.

    Overview
    • Alerts

      This section displays the distribution of regulatory alerts by workflow state or life cycle phase using a donut chart.

    • Change tasks

      This section displays the distribution of regulatory change tasks by workflow state or life cycle phase using a donut chart.

    Assessments
    This section displays the regulatory impact assessments and risk assessments linked to regulatory changes using a donut chart. By default, the regulatory assessments filter is applied, but you can change it to risk assessments.
