* Data is classified into Protect, and is a dependency of all four pillars.

* Agentic AI is not a fifteenth dimension. A single agent typically touches seven of the fourteen at once.

Sector-tuned where it matters.

The core fourteen dimensions are constant. Evidence requirements and standards mapping are tuned to your sector.

Banking & Finance

Tuned to APRA CPS 230, CPS 234, CPS 220 and AFSL obligations. Heavy emphasis on vendor AI risk and customer-facing decisioning.

Energy & Utilities

Tuned to the SOCI Act, CIRMP, AEMO and the AESCSF. Heavy emphasis on operational technology AI, grid events and control-system safety.

Master

Cross-sector edition for organisations spanning regulated industries, and for every sector without an edition of its own.

05 · What you end with

Board-ready. Auditor-defensible. Regulator-ready.

  • 01

    An Executive Scorecard your Chair can table at the next risk committee.

    One page, fourteen lines, every one classified and stated.

  • 02

    A Detailed Findings Report your CISO and internal audit can work from immediately.

    Every finding traced to the artefact that evidences it, or to the gap where none exists.

  • 03

    A defensible position before the auditor walks in or the regulator asks.

    Dated, versioned, and re-evidenced on a cadence rather than rebuilt from scratch each cycle.
