The independent assessor should challenge evidence: After governance classifies the use as high risk, which
With high-risk classification and incomplete subgroup evidence, independent assessment must challenge limitations before approval.
The question
For employment screening, HR owns the use case, governance assigns the risk tier, legal reviews applicable requirements, and an independent assessor challenges evidence. The vendor supplies only an aggregate benchmark, with no subgroup results. After governance classifies the use as high risk, which handoff is appropriate before approval?

- HR should approve deployment after confirming the vendor’s benchmark scope.HR owns the use case, but benchmark scope alone does not resolve missing subgroup evidence or satisfy independent challenge before approval.
- The independent assessor should challenge evidence and document limitations before approval. ✓The high-risk classification and incomplete benchmark make independent challenge the necessary next handoff before a deployment decision.
- Legal should approve deployment because employment screening may involve legal requirements.Legal review is important, but it does not replace independent assessment of performance evidence and limitations for the classified use.
- Governance should lower the tier because the vendor supplied a benchmark.A benchmark with unknown subgroup coverage is scoped evidence, not a basis for reducing risk classification or bypassing challenge.
The trap
Do not let a scoped benchmark replace independent challenge, especially when population-specific evidence is absent. How to remember it
With high-risk classification and incomplete subgroup evidence, independent assessment must challenge limitations before approval.
