GV-1.6 Mechanisms are in place to inventory AI systems and are resourced according to organizational risk priorities
Mechanisms are in place to inventory AI systems and are resourced according to organizational risk priorities. A maintained inventory identifies the AI systems and models in use, and the resource given to maintaining it is proportionate to the risk the inventoried systems carry.

These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.

First move
Common gaps auditors find
- Inventory covers models built in house but omits embedded and third-party AI features
- Compiled once for an audit and not maintained since
- No link from an inventory entry to its documentation, so the entry carries no usable detail
