From theAI Governance in Practice Report2025:
“Risk-based approaches are often distilled into organizational risk management efforts, which put impact assessments at the heart of deciding whether harm can be reduced.” (p. 29)
“DPIAs… help organizations identify, analyze and minimize data-related risks and demonstrate accountability.” (p. 30)

B. Red teamingis useful for adversarial risk but not broad.
C. Integration testingfocuses on technical/system compatibility, not overall risk.
