Summary

Added new best practice FSIREL08-BP05 for monitoring AI model performance/drift with KPI tracking, alerting, and evaluation procedures.

Security assessment

New content addresses operational monitoring of AI model performance and data drift, not security vulnerabilities. Focuses on performance metrics and prediction accuracy without mentioning security controls, threats, or vulnerabilities.

+Continuous monitoring should track key performance indicators against established baselines, with automated alerts for significant deviations and configurable thresholds with escalation procedures. Establish regular cadences for model evaluation using production data, comparing predictions against actual outcomes. Implement comprehensive logging systems that capture input data characteristics, prediction outputs, and environmental factors to facilitate root cause analysis when performance issues arise. For regulated applications, consider deploying parallel inference systems where both current and candidate models run simultaneously to compare outputs before deployment.
