Annex B. Model and System Registry Schema
| Version | 1.0 |
| Current as of | June 4, 2026 |
| Document owner | AI Governance Committee |
| Publication status | Illustrative operating model for a hypothetical company. This annex is not legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship, and should be adapted to the Company's sector, market footprint, regulatory perimeter, system architecture, procurement process, contracts, and risk appetite before implementation. |
Purpose
The registry is the Company's single authoritative inventory of AI systems in scope. It connects the system a team wants to build, buy, fine-tune, embed, deploy, or repurpose to the evidence the Company needs when Legal, Security, Privacy, Procurement, Audit, the board, a regulator, a customer, or an incident-response team asks what the system is, who owns it, what it does, what data it uses, what risk tier it carries, what controls it cleared, and whether it is still behaving as approved.
The registry is not a spreadsheet of interesting models. It is the control record that ties intake, classification, review gates, vendor diligence, deployment authorization, monitoring, and escalation into one operating system. If a system cannot be found in the registry, the Company should treat it as unapproved until the AI Governance Office confirms otherwise.
Registry Scope
The registry must include every AI system that falls inside the playbook scope, whether built internally, fine-tuned from a third-party foundation model, procured from a vendor, embedded inside existing software, exposed through a product feature, used by a business team, used in legal work, or operated as an agentic workflow.
| Included record type | Registry treatment | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Internally built model or AI system | Full system record with lineage, data, evaluation, controls, monitoring, and owner fields. | The Company owns design choices, testing, deployment, and change control. |
| Fine-tuned or adapted third-party model | Full system record with base-model lineage, adaptation data, provider-status analysis where relevant, and vendor evidence. | Adaptation can change legal role, technical risk, and evidence obligations. |
| Procured AI product or vendor feature | Full system record linked to vendor diligence and contract evidence. | The Company must govern the deployed use even when the vendor built the model. |
| Embedded AI inside licensed software | Full or simplified record depending on tier, always linked to procurement evidence and feature activation date. | Shadow AI often enters through existing software. |
| Retrieval-augmented generation system | Full system record with model, retrieval corpus, data source, access-control, and evaluation fields. | The risk often sits in retrieval sources and permissions, not only in the model. |
| Agentic workflow | Full system record with tool permissions, action boundaries, logs, rollback, kill switch, and monitoring fields. | Systems that act require stronger operational control than systems that answer. |
| Public or customer-facing generative AI feature | Full system record with disclosure, provenance, content-safety, abuse monitoring, and release evidence. | Public exposure creates disclosure, misuse, brand, consumer, and regulatory risk. |
| Minimal-risk approved tool use | Simplified record with owner, approved environment, use limits, data restrictions, and sample-audit cadence. | Low-risk use still needs inventory and reassessment triggers. |
Required Registry Principles
| Principle | Operational requirement | Failure prevented |
|---|---|---|
| One system, one record | Every system has one authoritative registry ID. Multiple use cases can attach to that system record. | Duplicate records, inconsistent approvals, and unclear incident ownership. |
| Use-case granularity | A system with materially different uses must carry separate use-case entries under the same system record. | A low-risk use masking a high-risk use. |
| Evidence-linked fields | Fields that assert compliance, testing, diligence, or approval must link to the underlying evidence. | Empty compliance labels with no proof behind them. |
| Lifecycle status | The registry must show whether the system is proposed, in review, approved for evaluation, approved for deployment, live, suspended, retired, or rejected. | Approved pilots becoming uncontrolled production systems. |
| Owner accountability | Every live or approved system must have a use-case owner and accountable executive. | Diffuse responsibility when a system fails or drifts. |
| Time-bound review | Every classification, approval, exception, and monitoring record must have a date and next review trigger. | Stale approvals surviving after risk changes. |
| Change traceability | Material changes must create a new review entry or version record, not overwrite the old record. | Loss of evidence when the system changes. |
| Auditability | The registry must preserve who changed what, when, and why. | Inability to reconstruct decisions under audit or incident pressure. |
Core Data Schema
The schema below is the minimum viable enterprise registry. The Company may add fields, but it should not remove a field unless the AI Governance Committee documents why the field is not relevant to the Company's sector, posture, or deployment model.
| Field | Type | Required for | Validation rule | Why this field matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Registry ID | Unique identifier | All records | System-generated, immutable, and never reused. | Lets intake, contracts, gates, incidents, audits, and dashboards reference the same system. |
| System name | Text | All records | Plain-language name, unique enough to distinguish the system from similar tools. | Prevents vague references to vendor products, pilots, or internal nicknames. |
| System description | Text | All records | Must state what the system does, what output it produces, and what workflow or decision it affects. | Anchors the record to actual behavior rather than vendor or model branding. |
| System type | Controlled value | All records | Build, fine-tune, adapt, procure, embed, deploy, RAG, agentic workflow, public generative feature, or mixed. | Determines which diligence, lineage, vendor, and role fields apply. |
| Use-case ID | Unique identifier | All use cases | Required when one system supports more than one use. | Allows one system to carry multiple tiered uses without blurring their controls. |
| Use-case description | Text | All records | Must state the decision, recommendation, action, content, or workflow affected. | Drives risk classification and prevents model-level classification. |
| Use-case owner | Person | All records | Named individual, not a team mailbox. | Assigns operational accountability. |

Validation Rules
The registry should reject or flag records that fail the validation rules below.
| Rule | System response |
|---|---|
| A record cannot move to live status without a use-case owner, accountable executive, risk tier, classification date, lifecycle status, environment, and next review date. | Block status change. |
| A high-risk record cannot move to deployment approved or live without Gate 0, Gate 1, Gate 2, and Gate 3 decisions and evidence links. | Block status change and alert AI Governance Office. |
| A vendor system cannot move to live status without vendor diligence status, contract reference, and vendor evidence link or documented exception. | Block status change. |
| A system with EU-market activity marked yes or unclear cannot move to live status without EU role analysis. | Block status change. |
| A build, fine-tune, adapt, or public generative feature cannot move to live status without model lineage and training or input data source records. | Block status change unless Committee approves exception. |
| A system using personal, sensitive, biometric, protected health, privileged, client confidential, credential, security-log, trade-secret, or regulated data cannot move to live status without Legal, Privacy, and Security routing as applicable. | Block or route to required reviewers. |
| A system with autonomy level above recommendation only cannot move to live status without tool permissions, approval rules, action logs, rollback, and kill switch where technically feasible. | Block status change. |
| A system with lifecycle status live and no monitoring configuration must show minimal-risk clearance or documented reason monitoring does not apply. | Flag for AI Governance Office review. |
| A classification older than its review cadence cannot remain live without review update or documented extension. | Flag as overdue and route to owner. |
| A material change cannot overwrite prior classification evidence. | Require new classification entry linked to old record. |
| A retired system cannot retain production environment status, active vendor feature status, or active tool permissions. | Block retirement completion until cleanup fields are complete. |
Reporting Views
The registry should support operating views, not only compliance exports.
| View | Required filters | Operational use |
|---|---|---|
| Executive risk view | Tier, sector, business unit, live status, high-risk count, overdue reviews, incidents, exceptions. | Shows senior owners where risk sits and what needs decision. |
| AI Governance Office queue | Intake status, missing evidence, reviewer, SLA age, next gate, contested tier, hold reason. | Runs daily governance operations. |
| Legal obligations view | Jurisdiction, EU role, Article 25 analysis, transparency or notice, employment, healthcare, financial, legal-services, public generative AI. | Identifies legal work and volatility exposure. |
| Security and privacy view | Data category, vendor, environment, tool permissions, security status, privacy status, incidents, monitoring gaps. | Routes cyber, data, and access-control risk. |
| Vendor concentration view | Vendor, product, model supplier, contract reference, feature, business unit, tier, incidents, change notices. | Shows third-party exposure and dependency concentration. |
| Model lineage view | Base model, version, provider, fine-tunes, RAG sources, downstream systems, vulnerabilities, license changes. | Identifies blast radius when a model or dataset changes. |
| Monitoring and drift view | Live systems, monitoring cadence, last review, thresholds, failed metrics, incidents, reclassification triggers. | Runs Gate 4. |
| Audit export | Registry ID, tier, owner, dates, gates, evidence links, approvals, exceptions, incidents, and retirement status. | Supports audit, regulatory, customer, and board review. |
Access and Governance
| Role | Access | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| AI Governance Office | Full create, edit, review, route, and reporting rights. | Owns registry integrity, classification records, gate routing, and quality control. |
| Use-case owner | Create and edit assigned records before approval; update monitoring and change information after approval. | Keeps system facts current and submits material changes. |
| Accountable executive | Read assigned records, approve residual risk, approve or reject deployment where required. | Owns business accountability for approved use. |
| Legal | Read relevant records; edit legal review, jurisdiction, EU role, data-rights, notice, and obligation fields. | Owns legal determinations without becoming operating owner. |
| Security | Read relevant records; edit security, access, vendor security, agentic, incident, and monitoring fields. | Owns cybersecurity review and incident integration. |
| Privacy | Read relevant records; edit privacy, data category, retention, transfer, and affected-person fields. | Owns privacy and data-use review. |
| Procurement | Read vendor records; edit vendor, contract, diligence, renewal, and change-notice fields. | Connects vendor systems to contract controls. |
| Validation owner | Read relevant records; edit evaluation, testing, model validation, monitoring, and drift fields. | Owns technical or model-performance evidence. |
| Internal Audit | Read access and export access. | Tests whether registry controls operate as designed. |
| Business users | Limited read or submit access. | Submits intake and sees status without accessing restricted evidence. |
Quality Controls
The AI Governance Office should run registry quality checks on a fixed cadence and before any board, audit, regulatory, or customer-facing report.
| Check | Cadence | Failure signal |
|---|---|---|
| Completeness check | Weekly | Required fields missing for active records. |
| Evidence-link check | Weekly for high-risk and monthly for limited-risk | Field says cleared, but no evidence link exists. |
| SLA check | Daily | Intake or gate review exceeds service level. |
| Overdue review check | Weekly | Next review date has passed. |
| Vendor change check | Monthly and on vendor notice | Vendor release, model update, terms change, subprocessor change, or feature activation lacks reassessment. |
| Model lineage check | Monthly for built and fine-tuned systems | Base-model version, license, vulnerability, or provider change not mapped to downstream systems. |
| Monitoring check | Monthly for live systems | Monitoring configuration missing, last review stale, threshold breach unresolved, or owner missing. |
| Exception check | Weekly | Exception expired, scope exceeded, evidence missing, or system moved beyond approved evaluation scope. |
| Shadow AI reconciliation | Quarterly | Procurement, expense, SaaS admin, browser extension, data-loss-prevention, or security logs show AI use not in registry. |
| Retirement check | Quarterly | Retired systems retain access, data, vendor feature activation, or monitoring obligations. |
Source Basis and Volatility Note
This registry schema aligns to NIST AI RMF Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage because it records accountability, system context, risk classification, evidence, controls, monitoring, and incident history in one operating record. It aligns to ISO/IEC 42001 because it creates documented ownership, risk treatment, operational planning, performance evaluation, change control, and continual-improvement evidence. It aligns to the EU AI Act because it captures intended purpose, role in the AI value chain, high-risk classification, technical-documentation evidence, transparency triggers, monitoring, and serious-incident routing when EU-market activity exists.
The schema also preserves the U.S. overlays the playbook relies on. California-facing public generative AI records need training-data documentation review where applicable. NYDFS-covered financial institutions need AI cybersecurity risk mapped into the existing Part 500 control environment. NYC employment systems need AEDT bias-audit and notice fields where applicable. Healthcare and patient-impact systems need separate HIPAA, FDA, SaMD, clinical-validation, and patient-safety fields rather than generic Other-sector treatment.
