AI Safety Audit

AI Safety Audit

Comprehensive AI safety and alignment audit framework for businesses deploying AI agents. Built around the UK AI Security Institute Alignment Project standards (2026), EU AI Act requirements, and NIST AI RMF.

What This Skill Does

When activated, the agent performs a structured safety audit of your AI deployment:

1. AI System Inventory — Catalogs all AI models, agents, and automated decision systems in use 2. Risk Classification — Maps each system to EU AI Act risk tiers (Unacceptable/High/Limited/Minimal) 3. Safety Controls Assessment — Evaluates 30 controls across 6 domains 4. Gap Analysis — Identifies missing safeguards with severity and remediation cost 5. Compliance Roadmap — Generates a prioritized 90-day action plan

6 Audit Domains (30 Controls)

1. Model Governance (5 controls)

Model registry with version tracking

Access control and deployment permissions

Update and rollback procedures

Vendor risk assessment for third-party models

Model retirement and data deletion policy

2. Data Protection (5 controls)

Data residency and sovereignty mapping

PII detection and handling in AI pipelines

Training data provenance documentation

Data retention aligned with AI lifecycle

Cross-border data transfer compliance

3. Output Safety (5 controls)

Hallucination detection and mitigation

Bias testing across protected characteristics

Content filtering for harmful outputs

Confidence scoring and uncertainty flagging

Human-in-the-loop for high-stakes decisions

4. Security (5 controls)

Prompt injection defense

Model extraction prevention

API rate limiting and abuse detection

Adversarial input testing

Supply chain security for AI dependencies

5. Monitoring & Observability (5 controls)

Real-time output quality tracking

Drift detection (data and model)

Incident logging and alerting

Performance degradation monitoring

Cost tracking per AI workflow

6. Organizational Readiness (5 controls)

Named AI safety officer

Staff training program with completion tracking

Board-level AI risk reporting

Incident response playbook

Third-party audit schedule

Scoring

Each control scores 0-3:

0 — Not implemented

1 — Partially implemented, no documentation

2 — Implemented with documentation

3 — Implemented, documented, tested, and audited

Total: 90 points max

0-30: Critical risk — stop deploying until gaps are addressed

31-55: High risk — remediate within 30 days

56-75: Moderate risk — address within 90 days

76-90: Strong posture — maintain and iterate

Regulatory Mapping

| Framework | Status | Key Requirements | |-----------|--------|-----------------| | EU AI Act | Enforcing 2026 | Risk classification, conformity assessment, transparency | | UK AI Safety Institute | Active 2026 | Alignment testing, frontier model evaluation | | NIST AI RMF | Published | Govern, Map, Measure, Manage lifecycle | | ISO 42001 | Published | AI management system certification | | SOC 2 + AI | Emerging | Agent-specific controls (CC6/CC7/CC8) |

Cost Benchmarks

| Company Size | Full Audit Cost | Annual Compliance | Non-Compliance Risk | |-------------|----------------|-------------------|-------------------| | 15-50 employees | $8K – $20K | $18K – $45K | $200K+ | | 50-200 employees | $20K – $55K | $45K – $120K | $500K – $2M | | 200-1000 employees | $55K – $150K | $120K – $400K | $2M – $10M |

Output Format

The agent delivers: 1. Executive Summary — Overall score, top 3 risks, recommended actions 2. Detailed Scorecard — All 30 controls with scores and evidence 3. Gap Analysis — Missing controls ranked by risk severity 4. 90-Day Roadmap — Phased remediation plan with cost estimates 5. Board Report Template — One-page summary for leadership

Industry Adjustments

The audit adjusts control weighting based on industry:

Healthcare: Output safety and data protection weighted 2x

Financial Services: Model governance and monitoring weighted 2x

Legal: Output safety (hallucination) weighted 3x

Manufacturing: Security and monitoring weighted 2x

Government/Defense: All domains weighted equally at maximum
