TrustEvals and Accorian launch real-time AI risk framework
Runtime AI governance gaps are a live concern for APS agencies - though this is vendor advisory material, not authoritative guidance.
Key points
- Two advisory firms launched a GRC framework targeting runtime AI 'control drift' in financial services enterprises.
- The 'control drift' concept - that AI behavior shifts without code changes - is relevant to APS AI risk and assurance thinking.
- Item is a vendor press release with no independent verification; the headline 64.5% statistic is unvalidated.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor APS risk and assurance practitioners may want to monitor whether 'control drift' framing and continuous runtime monitoring requirements appear in future Australian or international AI governance guidance for regulated sectors.
- Consider Agencies developing AI risk frameworks could consider whether existing audit and review cadences adequately account for runtime behavioral changes in deployed AI systems, particularly where vendor-managed models are in use.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

TrustEvals and Accorian have released a GRC framework arguing that traditional periodic audits fail to capture runtime behavioral changes in AI systems caused by vendor updates, input distribution shifts, or evolving agent behaviors - a problem they label 'control drift.' The framework recommends continuous runtime monitoring and 'autonomy budgets' as mitigations, particularly for regulated financial services environments. The item is sourced entirely from a vendor press release with no independent third-party coverage, and the key 64.5% uninstrumented-use statistic is vendor self-reported and unverified. The underlying concept of runtime observability aligns with broader MLOps and AI governance literature, including the US Treasury's February 2026 Financial Services AI Risk Management Framework.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] APS risk and assurance practitioners may want to monitor whether 'control drift' framing and continuous runtime monitoring requirements appear in future Australian or international AI governance guidance for regulated sectors.
- [Consider] Agencies developing AI risk frameworks could consider whether existing audit and review cadences adequately account for runtime behavioral changes in deployed AI systems, particularly where vendor-managed models are in use.
