Enterprise AI Agent Readiness Checklist

Autonomous agents act now. Is your governance ready for that?

The shift from AI copilots that suggest to AI agents that autonomously act — sending messages, moving data, executing multi-step workflows with minimal human-in-the-loop — has outpaced governance in a large share of organizations that have deployed agents. This checklist scores 10 concrete, weighted governance practices: whether every agent's data access is explicitly mapped, whether irreversible actions require human approval, whether a tested kill switch exists, and whether the org has a specific incident response plan for agent misbehavior rather than an improvised one.

• →Scores least-privilege access scoping and explicit data-source mapping for every deployed agent
• →Checks for human approval gates on irreversible or high-cost autonomous actions specifically
• →Includes a tested kill-switch check — not just a theoretical ability to disable an agent
• →Covers vendor security review and agent memory/context poisoning awareness
