Assign independent challenge authority: Which governance change best addresses this conflict?

AIGP Understanding the Foundations of AI Governance Medium

A conflicted delivery owner needs a separate function with authority to challenge and escalate risk.

The question

A procurement manager wants rapid deployment of a vendor’s coding assistant, while security staff identify unresolved data-handling risks. The manager also owns the delivery target. Which governance change best addresses this conflict?

  1. Add detailed security obligations to the vendor contract.
    Contract terms can improve vendor controls, but they do not independently assess whether deployment should proceed.
  2. Document the risk review.
    Documentation preserves evidence, but it does not give an independent function authority to challenge the delivery owner.
  3. Assign independent challenge authority. ✓
    A competent function separate from the delivery owner can assess the unresolved risk, require mitigation, and escalate if necessary.
  4. Require the manager to approve residual risk in writing.
    Written approval records the conflicted manager’s decision but does not separate operational ownership from risk challenge.
The trap
Separate the person accountable for delivery from the function empowered to challenge its risks.
