Key Insights

Boards and executives need AI risk information at a glance—not detailed reports requiring interpretation, but dashboards showing status, trends, and items requiring attention. A well-designed risk dashboard communicates AI risk posture in seconds.

This one-page template provides a Board-ready risk dashboard: key metrics, risk category status, compliance framework progress, incident summary, and action items—all in a format optimized for executive communication.

Overview

When the Board asks "what's our AI risk exposure?"—you need an answer that fits on one page and communicates in 30 seconds. Detailed risk registers and assessment reports support governance operations; dashboards communicate to executives.

This template provides the dashboard structure. Populate with your current data for Board meetings or executive briefings.

FAQ

Q: How do we determine risk category status?

A: Status should reflect aggregate risk across your AI portfolio. Define thresholds (e.g., "High" if any system has unmitigated high-severity risk in that category). Document your methodology for consistency.

Q: What data sources populate this dashboard?

A: Key metrics from AI inventory, risk category status from risk assessments, compliance status from compliance tracking, incidents from incident management. If you lack these systems, the dashboard shows what data you need to capture.

Q: How often should we update this dashboard?

A: Monthly for executive review; quarterly updates for Board presentations. More frequent updates for rapidly changing situations.
