Imagine every control plane is built. PII is masked. RAG respects permissions. Guardrails block prompt injections. The audit trail writes to immutable storage. Budgets hold. Content is labeled. Quality is measured. The supply chain sits under an AIBOM. The agent sits behind a policy gate. Six months in, an ISO 42001 audit arrives — and there is nothing to prove, because ACL sync silently broke in March, the golden dataset hasn't been refreshed since launch, the kill-switch has never been tested, and the credit module formally has no owner. The technical controls went stale. Not from an attack. From nobody having been assigned to maintain or audit them.
