AI Risk Management

Identify, measure, and mitigate AI-driven risks. Forgepath builds a usable risk program for AI—clear taxonomy, consistent assessments, right-sized controls, and operating metrics leaders can track.

Risk Management That Teams Can Actually Use

AI introduces new failure modes—prompt injection, data leakage, tool abuse, model drift—and amplifies old ones like privacy exposure and vendor dependency. Forgepath turns these into structured, comparable risks: we define a shared taxonomy, run consistent assessments, and connect each risk to controls, owners, and KRIs. The outcome is a living register, not a shelf document—one that guides decisions across product, engineering, legal, and security.

Our approach is framework-aware (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, sector expectations) yet tailored to your environment. We capture system inventories and data flows, score likelihood and impact (including potential harms), select safeguards that fit your stack, and establish an operating rhythm for reviews, exceptions, and reporting.

From assessment to action

Strengthen Your AI Security

We make AI risk measurable and manageable: define it, score it, treat it, and watch it. Each step yields artefacts your teams can follow and your leaders can rely on.

Create the source of truth for AI systems and risks.

  • What we do: catalogue AI use cases, models, prompts, tools, data sources, and integrations; record owners and business objectives.

  • How we do it: lightweight intake, system profiles (purpose, data, users), and a normalized risk taxonomy covering security, privacy, safety, ethics, and compliance.

  • Output: a living register with fields for likelihood/impact, controls, KRIs, and review cadence.

Understand how risks actually manifest.

  • What we do: map credible abuse paths and failure modes (e.g., indirect prompt injection → tool misuse → data exfiltration; model drift → unfair or unsafe outputs).

  • How we do it: structured scenario worksheets tying threats, affected stakeholders, and business processes to severity and likelihood.

  • Output: scenario scores that drive priority and treatment options.

Choose safeguards that fit your stack and workflow.

  • What we do: recommend technical (prompt/policy rules, filters, retrieval gating, tool scopes, rate limits, redaction) and process controls (human-in-the-loop, approvals, change control).

  • How we do it: map each risk to specific controls with owners, acceptance criteria, and implementation notes for your platforms.

  • Output: treatment plans (reduce/avoid/transfer/accept) with timelines and success tests.

Measure whether risk is shrinking.

  • What we do: select KRIs (policy violations, leakage events, unsafe tool actions, drift alerts) and KPIs (review cycle time, exceptions closed).

  • How we do it: set thresholds, dashboards, and escalation rules; design short executive summaries.

  • Output: a reporting rhythm leaders trust.

Bring model and tool vendors under control.

  • What we do: evaluate providers with scorecards (security, privacy, provenance, regionality, reliability) and contractual expectations.

  • How we do it: define onboarding artefacts, fallback behaviors, and monitoring hooks for provider changes.

  • Output: vendor risk records linked to your register.

Keep risk management alive between releases.

  • What we do: establish review cadences, exception workflows, and change management for prompts, models, tools, and data sources.

  • How we do it: RACI for decisions, issue routing, and periodic assurance activities (tabletops, spot checks).

  • Output: a sustainable operating model with owners and dates.
