Get the governance playbook

Learn how to inventory AI use cases, assess risk, enforce controls in real time, and produce examiner-ready evidence across regulated workflows.

Built for

National banks building internal AI approval and oversight processes.

BaaS platforms managing third-party and embedded-finance AI risk.

Fintech leaders operationalizing AI in fraud, support, risk, and compliance.

Overview

Compliance leaders are being asked to review every new AI tool, copilot, and vendor workflow manually. That approach does not scale. This session will show how to govern AI continuously, with controls that follow the workflow and evidence you can actually defend.

Why this matters now

96% of financial services respondents report formal AI governance principles or policies, but only 53% say those principles have translated into specific technical controls.

Only 21% are very confident they could produce centralized, complete, auditable evidence for regulators, auditors, or courts.

Examiners are paying closer attention to access controls, incident response readiness, vendor dependencies, and data-handling practices.

What you will learn

How to map AI systems to risk tiers and approval paths.

How to translate policy into controls AI can actually follow.

How to monitor AI use in real time instead of auditing every tool by hand.

How to build an evidence trail that supports exams, audits, and internal reviews.

When building in-house makes sense versus using a governance layer.
