Model & version change-management gaps

Governance, Accountability & Compliance

Description

Untracked changes to models, prompts, or providers enter production without testing or rollback.

Example scenario

A prompt edit is pushed straight to production and silently breaks a compliance check.

Real-world evidenceDemonstrated

Regulators (OCC, EBA, MAS) have published guidance on third-party AI risk and supervisory reviews have flagged inadequate vendor oversight, but confirmed enforcement actions or material incidents causally attributable specifically to third-party AI non-management are documented in research and guidance rather than confirmed production enforcement at scale.

Primary mitigations

  • Versioned prompts/models
  • change approval
  • regression gates
  • rollback plans
  • provider-pinning.

Detection signals

Change-audit logs; unapproved-change detection; rollback drills.
