AI Agent Assurance Checklist
Use this checklist to pressure-test whether your organisation can explain what AI agents exist, what they can access, how they are controlled, where human oversight applies and what evidence exists for review.
Most AI agent risk is not caused by the model alone.
The bigger assurance questions are usually about action, access, autonomy and evidence. This checklist helps CISOs, AI leaders, risk teams and vendors ask the right questions before an agent becomes an uncontrolled operational actor.
Ownership
Who owns the agent, approves its use and accepts the residual risk?
Access
What tools, data, systems, connectors and model providers can it reach?
Evidence
Can you prove what controls existed, what actions were approved and what happened at runtime?

What it covers
- AI agent inventory and ownership
- Autonomy and tool-access mapping
- Data exposure and connector risk
- Human-in, human-on and human-over-the-loop controls
- Runtime decisions, logs and evidence
- Board, buyer, CISO and audit questions
When to use it
Before deployment
Check whether ownership, autonomy, access and human oversight are clear before the agent is put into operation.
Before a buyer review
Prepare sharper answers when enterprise buyers ask how your AI system or agent is governed.
Before board reporting
Turn vague AI risk discussion into a more evidence-led conversation about exposure, gaps and decisions.
