CAISS Enterprise AI Governance and Compliance Framework v2.0

March 2026

The CAISS Enterprise AI Governance & Compliance Framework (CEAGCF) Version 2.0 provides a comprehensive strategy for managing artificial intelligence from initial prototyping to full-scale production. This unified playbook integrates strategic, operational, and practitioner layers to ensure that organizational oversight is built into the technical architecture rather than treated as an afterthought. It outlines a seven-phase lifecycle featuring strict binary gates, ensuring that projects only advance when they meet specific ethical and regulatory requirements. Central to the system is a 10-phase sandbox protocol that generates nineteen distinct handover artefacts, such as risk assessments and bias audits, to maintain rigorous accountability. By mapping over fifty policies to C-Suite owners, the framework aligns corporate leadership with technical execution and regulatory standards like the EU AI Act. Ultimately, the methodology emphasizes that while AI models are interchangeable, institutional trust and human accountability remain the essential foundations for safe technological adoption.
