AI Risk Assessment Template

The tool you need to develop and use artificial intelligence with confidence.

Data privacy is just as important for AI model training as it is for business intelligence and marketing. Be aware of the potential risks you face and mitigate them more effectively with Osano’s AI risk assessment template.

Features of Our AI Assessment Template

Evaluation and Identification of AI Risks

The risks faced by AI technologies are not the same as those faced by other parts of your business. You can’t expect traditional assessment tools to adequately address them.

Our designed-for-purpose AI assessment template uses the EU AI Act as a framework. It offers a checklist for every stage of your AI development lifecycle, starting with planning and ending with retirement. As such, it's designed to help you assess the risks associated with your solution and the relevant steps to mitigate and manage them.

The risk identification processes cover:

• Purpose of processing data
• Consent type required
• Data sources
• Methods of processing
• Algorithmic transparency
• Ongoing monitoring for issues like model drift
• Potential biases
• And more

Guided Mitigation Strategy Development

Identifying risks is only the first step; you then need a risk management strategy that aligns with your business needs. Airtight compliance is pointless if the product you build doesn’t help improve your operations.

The assessment template helps you balance compliance and usability.

It aligns your data privacy requirements to the compliance requirements within your industry and offers tailored advice. You build a solution that works effectively for you, and Osano Assessments ensures that it’s supported with appropriate mitigation and data protection strategies.

Compliance Documentation

Keep a record of your AI-related data processing activities. Document the vulnerabilities you’ve identified and the mitigation strategies you’ve implemented. Generate the formal EU Declaration of Conformity for high-risk AI systems directly from your assessment. Reduce duplication of work and save time.

Demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements with the paperwork to back up your claims. No more disconnected processes and multiple files; Collate your compliance documentation together in one space.

Bring clarity to your compliance audits and give your stakeholders the peace of mind that comes with demonstrable transparency.

Seamless Workflow Integration

Simplify AI-related data privacy by making it part of existing workflows. Connect your AI risk assessment with your existing processes, so you don’t have to change them to accommodate newer technologies.

Let your internal experts inform and contribute to enable a more thorough assessment process. Osano Assessments fits right in with your other business units, so you have access to their expertise and knowledge. It is collaborative, so you start with detailed and accurate information. As a result, you’re less likely to need clarifications and follow-ups.

The Risk Assessment Tool for Responsible AI Development

Understand Your Model’s Risk Levels

The EU AI Act classifies AI models based on their risk level. If your model is high-risk, it will have stricter compliance standards.

The Osano AI assessment template is designed to help you conclusively determine the risk category of your solution, including identifying if your AI innovation falls into prohibited or exempted categories under the EU AI Act. That means you can govern it adequately and also show why it falls under that category if you’re challenged.

Operate Under the Strictest Standards

Not sure if your solution is governed by the EU AI Act? Use the template to find out. Even if it isn’t, Osano’s AI assessment template will provide tools to determine its risk levels and the best way to manage them. Adopt rigorous practices that can withstand scrutiny, regardless of the laws governing your AI use.

Demonstrate Accountability and Transparency

Osano's AI risk assessment solution keeps detailed records of your AI system and how it works. It documents your efforts to assess and govern AI, helping build trust with users and stakeholders alike.

Future-Proof Compliance

Integrate best practices into your AI operations from the start. Build a strong, privacy-focused foundation that keeps you on the right side of regulations, even when they change and evolve.

Reduce Legal Liability

AI data comes with risks. If the data isn’t high quality, if it contains (or perpetuates) biases, or if it comes with consent issues, you risk penalties and reputational damage. Manage these potential issues at the beginning of your development lifecycle to build a better, more robust tool.
