AI Governance & Privacy Risk

Share

Govern the AI systems that use personal data: register each one with its owners and the personal data it processes, record profiling and analytics in the RoPA, and let DPIA screening flag automated decision-making and scoring. DiscoverIQ finds the personal data that feeds your models, and ConsultIQ drafts the policies and assessments.

The Challenge

AI Governance Challenges

AI arrives faster than privacy reviews can follow. A model scores customers, an assistant summarizes support tickets, a vendor adds AI to a tool already in use, and each one processes personal data in ways the record of processing never captured.

When a regulator, an auditor or a customer asks which AI systems touch personal data, on what grounds, and whether anyone assessed the risk, most organizations cannot answer from one place.

No inventory of AI systems

AI features arrive in new apps, vendor upgrades and employee installs, with no single list to track them.

Automated decisions unassessed

Scoring and profiling go live without an impact assessment.

Undocumented training data

The personal data that feeds a model, and where it is stored, is not written down anywhere.

AI providers outside review

AI vendors process personal data without a DPA or a vendor assessment on file.

The Solution

How It Works

AI Governance Workflow

1

Inventory your AI

Register AI-driven applications in ComplyIQ, and check DiscoverIQ's software catalog for AI tools installed without approval.

2

Record the processing

Capture each AI use case as a processing activity in the RoPA, with its purpose and legal basis, and whether it involves profiling or analytics.

3

Screen the risk

Generate a DPIA from the RoPA. The screening flags profiling, scoring and the other risk criteria it finds.

4

Find the data behind the models

Scan the data stores that feed your models with DiscoverIQ to see which personal data they hold.

5

Assess vendors and set policy

Assess AI providers in the vendor register, and draft your AI use policy with ConsultIQ.

Key Takeaways

  • One register of the AI systems that process personal data
  • DPIA screening that flags profiling, scoring and automated decisions
  • AI providers assessed, with their DPAs on record
FAQ

AI Governance FAQ

When a processing activity involves profiling, DPIA screening flags automated decision-making. When it involves analytics, screening flags evaluation and scoring, and when it involves both, screening also flags innovative technology. The screening also checks for sensitive data, vulnerable groups, systematic monitoring, large-scale processing and cross-border transfers.
