# AI Security Remediation Roadmap
Executive Summary
This roadmap turns AI security findings into owned execution. It sequences the work that matters first: stop critical risk expansion, convert posture into buyer-ready evidence, and make the control model repeatable.
The roadmap is intentionally practical. It does not bury the client in a hundred recommendations. It names the work, owner, release gate, validation standard, dependency, and executive decision point.
Recommended remediation decision
Approve a 90-day remediation plan. Keep broad rollout constrained until RAG authorization tests, agent action-class enforcement, approval bundles, and AI trace policy are validated.
Roadmap Snapshot
Assessment is not the finish line
Roadmap
30/60/90-day remediation roadmap
The roadmap connects risks to work items, owners, release gates, dependencies, validation criteria, and executive decisions.
0-30 days: stop critical risk expansion
0-30 day work plan
| Work item | Owner | Release gate | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implement RAG authorization regression tests | Search Platform | Required before expanding retrieval sources | negative authorization tests pass end-to-end |
| Enforce agent action classes in the AI gateway | AI Platform Engineering | Required before expanding agent tool access | action classes enforced by policy |
| Keep critical tool actions blocked | AI Platform Engineering | Required until approval and trace controls are validated | critical execution paths deny by default |
Day 30 decision
Can retrieval source coverage or agent tool access expand? Default answer: no expansion without validated RAG authorization and agent action-class controls.
31-60 days: convert posture into buyer-ready evidence
31-60 day work plan
| Work item | Owner | Release gate | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add approval context bundles | Product Operations | Required before sensitive actions | approval UI shows target, diff, evidence, rationale, blast radius, rollback path |
| Finalize AI trace retention and access policy | Security Engineering | Required before broad trace retention | trace classes, retention, access roles, redaction, and incident procedures approved |
| Approve model provider boundary statement | Vendor Management and Legal | Required before questionnaire reuse | approved language maps to contract and architecture evidence |
Day 60 decision
Can enterprise review proceed with current evidence? Default answer: proceed only with explicit partial-control disclosure and an owned answer bank.
61-90 days: make the control model repeatable
61-90 day work plan
| Work item | Owner | Release gate | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add AI release gates to product security workflow | Product Security | Required for prompt, retrieval, provider, and tool-policy changes | release checklist blocks incomplete requirements |
| Create controlled enterprise AI answer bank | Trust and Security | Required before repeat enterprise review cycles | answers map to evidence, owner, status, and last-reviewed date |
| Run AI incident response tabletop | Security Operations | Required before broad customer rollout | tabletop proves trace reconstruction and owner handoffs |
Day 90 decision
Can AI security move from project remediation to operating cadence? Default answer: yes only if gates and evidence ownership are stable.
Dependencies
Roadmap dependencies
| Dependency | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Action classes before approval bundles | approval context depends on a clear action class and target policy |
| Trace policy before incident tabletop | incident response needs reliable trace evidence |
| Provider statement before answer bank | approved questionnaire answers must map to evidence |

Roadmap Risks
The roadmap will fail if ownership is vague
AI security remediation crosses search, AI platform, product operations, security engineering, vendor management, and trust. Every work item needs one accountable owner.
Evidence will lag implementation unless it is built into the work
Engineering teams may fix a control but fail to create buyer-ready evidence. Evidence needs to be a completion criterion, not a later documentation sprint.
