AIMS monitoring, measurement, evaluation
Description
Clause 9.1 — AIMS performance monitored, measured, analysed, evaluated; results documented.
⚠️ Risk Impact
AIMS without measurement runs blind. Improvement is impossible to detect; degradation goes unnoticed until external probe.
🔍 How EchelonGraph Detects This
EchelonGraph's Tier 1 Cloud Scanner automatically checks for this condition across all connected cloud accounts. Violations are flagged as medium-severity findings with remediation guidance.
🔧 Remediation
Define AIMS KPIs (per Clause 6.2 objectives). Track monthly. Surface trend to AI Steering Committee. Document any threshold-breach response.
💀 Real-World Attack Scenario
An org's AIMS objectives included 'maintain mean time to AI incident response <2 hours'. KPI was measured at launch (1.5h average). Six months later, with no monitoring, the average had drifted to 4.2h — discovered only at annual review.
💰 Cost of Non-Compliance
Unmonitored AIMS KPIs: 60% drift to non-compliance within 12 months without monitoring (Forrester 2024).
📋 Audit Questions
- 1.Show me the AIMS KPI dashboard.
- 2.Which KPIs are trending toward threshold breach?
- 3.How frequently are KPIs reviewed? By whom?
- 4.What action was taken on the last threshold breach?
⚡ Common Pitfalls
- ⛔KPIs defined but never measured
- ⛔Measurement runs but reports aren't read
- ⛔Threshold breach detected but no documented response
📈 Business Value
Continuous AIMS measurement catches drift early — when remediation costs 5-10× less than late-discovery remediation.
⏱️ Effort Estimate
1-2 weeks for KPI dashboard + ongoing review cadence
EchelonGraph derives AIMS KPIs from live workload data; auto-surfaces threshold breaches
