Digital Information Governance (DIG®)
Audit Readiness is being able to prove, on demand, that AI-influenced decisions met their obligations.
Audit readiness is the posture that turns governance from a policy into proof. It is the ability to show, on demand, that provenance was tracked, decisions were traceable, and representation stayed accurate. It is the pillar regulators test first.
An organization is audit-ready when it can produce the decision trail for any AI-influenced decision without a scramble: the inputs, the reviewers, the authority, and the controls that applied. Audit readiness is becoming a client requirement as well as a regulatory one.
It maps to the EU AI Act conformity and logging obligations, ISO/IEC 42001 audit requirements, and TRAIGA documentation duties.
