Checklist readyYour audit checklist is on the way.

Step one complete

Your audit checklist is on the way.

Open it before your next engagement. The 25 questions are designed to run alongside your existing assessment workflow, with evidence prompts you can drop straight into a SAR or POA&M.

While you wait

Five moves to make this useful on your next engagement.

The checklist is not a substitute for your existing methodology. It is a structured prompt set that surfaces AI-specific risks your standard playbook may not catch yet.

  1. 01Map the AI components in scope before your kickoff: what the model is, where it runs, who controls prompts.
  2. 02Identify which checklist questions map to controls already in your client’s SSP — and which expose gaps.
  3. 03Run the data-flow questions early. AI data handling is where most findings live.
  4. 04Capture evidence using your existing artifact taxonomy — SAR, POA&M, control implementation statements.
  5. 05Score the engagement at the end against the four readiness tiers and use that in your debrief.
