The Audit You Are Not Ready For
Your models changed. Did your compliance documentation?
Key Takeaways
- Policy is not proof. Auditors ask for the enforcement record, a specific time, system, and outcome. Governance that is not enforced at runtime is advisory.
- Attestation is a belief, not a record. “The AI team says yes” invites three questions: how does the team know, who verified it, and what if the control had failed?
- Documentation goes stale the day a model changes. Model updates, new use cases, and policy revisions leave a compliance record that still says January.
- Regulators want the same evidence. The EU AI Act, SR 11-7, NIST AI RMF, HIPAA, DORA, and ISO 42001 share one expectation: timestamped, system-generated, verifiable records.
- Living disclosures close the gap. Documentation generated continuously from actual system behavior, and available on demand, replaces the scramble to reassemble attestations.
Most organizations have the policy, the legal review, and the board approval. What they lack is a record showing those controls were running when the AI acted. Models are updated, use cases are added, and policies are revised, while the documentation stays frozen at the moment it was filed.
In this session, Olivia LaHair walks through how auditors and regulators test that gap, from the EU AI Act’s call for records that controls were operational to SR 11-7’s expectation of continuous validation. You will see how living disclosures give your team a system-generated record it can pull on demand, instead of one it has to reassemble across teams.
Watch on demand before a regulator asks for twelve months of evidence.
