Description
The AI Risk Register is a pre-populated Excel workbook covering 50 common AI risks — from data leakage and model bias to third-party model dependency and shadow AI use — so your organisation isn’t starting risk identification from a blank page.
Built to the standard a Big-4 advisor would deliver, each risk row includes a description, likelihood/impact scoring, control status, and owner field, aligned to ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and the NIST AI RMF.
What’s included
- Fully editable Excel workbook (.xlsx)
- 50 pre-populated AI risks across governance, data, model, and third-party categories
- Likelihood/impact scoring, control status, and owner columns ready to customise
- Aligned to ISO 42001, EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF
Who it’s for
Compliance officers, CTOs, and consultants who need a defensible, board-ready AI risk register without building one from scratch.
Key features of this AI risk register
Starting a risk register from a blank spreadsheet almost always means missing categories of risk nobody thought to add — third-party model dependency, shadow AI, or data provenance gaps rarely make it onto a generic risk template. This register starts you with 50 AI-specific risks already identified, so the work is triaging and scoring, not brainstorming from zero.
It’s designed to feed directly into your Model Risk Management Framework and AI Decision Authority Matrix: risks logged here get tiered by the framework and routed through the authority matrix for sign-off.
Unlike a generic enterprise risk register, every row here is scoped to AI-specific failure modes, so you’re not adapting a general template to fit AI governance after the fact.
