AI Risk Oversight Checklist for the Board of Directors

Close the AI risk gap at the board level

Organizations are investing heavily in AI — but many haven't applied the same rigor to managing its risks. This checklist gives boards a practical framework for evaluating whether management is governing AI adoption responsibly, defending against AI-enabled threats, and demonstrating readiness across the full AI risk landscape.

This checklist helps the board:

• Identify shadow AI and evaluate controls governing approved tool usage
• Assess whether authorized AI tools are secured, monitored, and tested
• Ask the right questions about IT hygiene, proprietary code security, and third-party supply chain risk
• Understand what good looks like — and hold management accountable for demonstrating it
