Establishing Lifecycle AI Risk Management for Defense Operations

A major defense contractor faced challenges operationalizing AI governance across sensitive, regulated environments with over 100 AI systems spanning multiple mission areas. Manual compliance documentation and risk review processes were inconsistent and time-intensive, creating accountability gaps. The organization implemented Credo AI's Governance Platform with custom Policy Packs and automated workflows to standardize risk management. The solution enables continuous governance cycles where all active use cases are periodically re-evaluated upon modification, embedding lifecycle AI risk management directly into development processes.

Credo AI is an AI governance, risk and compliance platform used to inventory AI systems, enforce policy, and generate audit-ready evidence across the AI lifecycle.

This sits in the Scale & Govern stage of the AI use-case lifecycle: Named examples from the tools pharma teams use to monitor, govern and keep validating an AI system once it is already live in production.
