AI Agent Governance Checklist for Australian Businesses

Governance baseline every team needs

Good governance is operational, not theoretical. Define data classes, map which agents can access each class, and align controls with legal, privacy, and contractual obligations relevant to your market.

Minimum control checklist

Enforce role-based access, maintain immutable action logs, isolate environments, and require approval for sensitive actions. Maintain a clear owner for each workflow and a rollback plan if quality degrades.

Accountability and incident readiness

Document who approves deployments, who monitors outcomes, and who responds to incidents. Teams that operationalize ownership early scale faster and avoid governance debt.
