Set the high-risk report and the twelve-month review after a decision to deploy
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the completed impact assessment, copy the inherent risk rating the lawyer has recorded. If that rating is medium, note that the page says the agency should consider governance through a designated board or a senior executive, appropriate to the agency's size and scope. If the rating is high, list the musts on the page: report the use case to the agency accountable official with the reasons for the inherent high-risk rating, the proposed mitigations and the residual risks; govern it through a designated board or a senior executive; and, once the agency has decided to deploy, report it to the Digital Transformation Agency through the accountable official and set a review at least every 12 months that reports to that board or executive on whether the use case is operating as intended and risks are being managed, and that considers the impact assessment and any revision. Do not assign the rating.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer confirms the inherent rating, what is reported to the accountable official, and whether deployment has been decided so that the twelve-month review and the Digital Transformation Agency report are due. A medium rating is a 'should' on the page, not a must.

Checklist
- Use only the inherent rating written on the completed assessment. Do not calculate a new rating.
- Keep the medium-risk governance step as a should, and the high-risk report and board or executive governance as musts.
- Start the twelve-month review and the report to the Digital Transformation Agency only after the lawyer records that deployment has been decided.
