AI risks and benefits from third-party resources are regularly monitored, and risk controls are applied and documented. Third-party data, model, software and hardware dependencies are monitored on an ongoing basis, not assessed once at procurement, and the controls applied are recorded.

where the evidence lives
teal = a system already holds it · olive = produced at each review. To go live: easy when half or more of the artefacts are already held by a system, moderate from a quarter to a half, hard below a quarter.

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.

  • The risk controls applied to each and evidence they are in place · Vendor register / contract repository

First move

Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (SIEM / log platform); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
