Mend Releases AI Security Governance Framework: Covering Asset Inventory, Risk Tiering, AI Supply Chain Security, and Maturity Model

Mend published an AI security governance framework for inventorying AI assets and spotting shadow AI use.

The framework adds a five-factor risk score with three tiers to classify tools, models, and deployments before production.

It recommends least-privilege access, output controls, and AI-specific incident response measures to reduce exposure.

Mend also extends supply-chain tracking with an AI-BOM covering models, datasets, and inference infrastructure.
