AI Compliance Audit Tracker
Regulators expect transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI systems. The audit tracker centralises control evidence, keeps owners accountable, and proves compliance when auditors knock.
Why deploy an AI compliance audit tracker
prepare for regulations
EU AI Act, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and country-specific laws demand documentation. The tracker aligns output with these frameworks.
maintain trust
Customers and partners want proof of responsible AI. Surface compliance posture in the strategic narrative briefing center.
| Control domain | Examples | Tracker benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Policy & ethics | Usage guidelines, review boards | Single source of truth |
| Data governance | Consent, lineage, retention | Evidence automation |
| Model operations | Bias testing, monitoring | Risk alerts |
| Incident response | Escalation paths | Links to postmortems |
Audit tracker workflow
- Catalogue controls – map AI system inventory, controls, and owners in Product Brain.
- Automate evidence – ingest logs, approvals, test results, and documentation.
- Monitor gaps – AI detects overdue controls, missing evidence, or risk spikes.
- Escalate actions – route remediation tasks to owners via Approvals Intelligence.
- Generate reports – produce auditor-ready summaries and dashboards with timelines.
| Metric | Definition | Target | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control coverage | % controls with assigned owner & evidence | ≥ 95% | Compliance |
| Remediation SLA | Days to resolve control gaps | ≤ 14 | Control owners |
| Audit readiness score | Weighted control compliance | ≥ 4/5 | Risk committee |
| Incident response time | Hours from detection to reporting | ≤ 24 | Security ops |
Mini case: Audit readiness on autopilot
Fintech “LedgerLoop” adopted the AI compliance audit tracker. Control coverage hit 98%, audit prep time dropped by 40 hours per audit, and regulators praised the evidence trail tied to the AI governance training bootcamp.
Risks, counterpoints, and next steps
Ensure data security
Encrypt evidence, enforce least-privilege access, and log all actions.
Avoid checkbox mentality
Use control metrics to drive real improvements, not just compliance. Share insights with product and engineering.
Keep policies up to date
Review control frameworks quarterly as regulations evolve (EU AI Office, FTC, ICO).
Summary + next steps
The AI compliance audit tracker keeps your AI systems audit-ready without burnout. Catalogue controls, automate evidence, monitor gaps, and report proactively. Review metrics monthly and run annual mock audits.
- Now: Inventory AI systems and map existing controls.
- Next 2 weeks: Configure the tracker in Product Brain and automate evidence collection.
- Quarterly: Review compliance metrics with leadership and update policies.
CTA for compliance and engineering leaders: Activate your Product Brain workspace to stay ahead of AI audits.
FAQ
Who maintains the tracker?
Compliance or risk teams, collaborating with engineering, product, and legal.
Can we customise frameworks?
Yes -map controls to NIST, ISO, EU AI Act, or internal policies, and adjust weighting accordingly.
How do we share reports?
Export dashboards to PDF/CSV or grant limited Product Brain access to auditors with read-only permissions.
