Governance Program

A governance program is a formal, structured framework that establishes policies, processes, roles, and oversight mechanisms to manage AI systems across an organization. It defines how AI development, deployment, and use are monitored for compliance with regulatory requirements, ethical standards, and risk management objectives. Strong governance programs are critical for enterprises to ensure accountability, reduce liability, maintain stakeholder trust, and create consistency in how AI decisions are made and audited across different business units.

The framework organizes AI governance across four layers: risk identification, data governance, performance management, and oversight accountability. Compliance teams can use the structured approach to benchmark current capabilities and prioritize control investments.
