NIST SP 800-218A PO.4.1: Security check criteria include guardrails across the AI development life cycle (Medium)

What does PO.4.1 require?

In defining the criteria for software security checks and tracking them through the life cycle, the organisation implements guardrails and other controls across the whole AI development life cycle, reaching beyond the conventional software life cycle, and may require human review and approval for checks that fall outside risk-based thresholds.
