Summary: SAP offers boards ten evidence-oriented questions covering accountability, strategic review, decision-ready risk, regulatory change, third-party assurance, resilience and incident recovery. The framework positions security and compliance as shared business governance rather than a specialist report, asking leaders to request clear decision rights, tested plans, residual-risk views and proof that remediation actions close.
Why it matters: Convert one AI initiative into a board-ready evidence pack. Name accountable owners, record the security review that shaped the decision, show residual risk and supplier dependencies, and include the latest combined incident, continuity and recovery exercise with unresolved actions.
