SR 11-7 frames model risk management around three pillars: robust model development, ongoing validation, and governance with clear accountability. For CS-204, the controls that gate production sit in the first two pillars.
An independent validation covering conceptual soundness, outcomes analysis, and monitoring design is required prior to deployment, performed by staff independent of model development. Development documentation must let a third party reproduce the model without recourse to the developers.
Because CS-204 informs consumer credit decisions, fair lending testing and a documented effective challenge record should be attached to the validation package. Your MRM policy also requires Tier-1 models to carry a board approved risk rating, which CS-204 currently lacks.
Executive summary
Bottom line: CS-204 cannot be promoted until independent validation is complete and a board approved Tier-1 rating is issued.
- check_circleIndependent validation is mandatory pre-production.
- check_circleReproducible development documentation must accompany the package.
- check_circleFair lending testing required for consumer-credit use.
- check_circleOpen blocker: no board approved risk rating on file.

Sign-off must come from a validation function that is independent of model development. Developers may support the exercise but cannot own the validation conclusion or the effective-challenge record.
Draft, updating as the run completes. Articles 9–15 map cleanly onto existing model-risk controls in most areas. Two obligations have no current internal control and are flagged below.
| EU AI Act obligation | Internal control | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Art. 9 · Risk management system | MRM-STD-01 model risk framework | Mapped |
| Art. 10 · Data and data governance | DATA-GOV-03 data quality and lineage | Mapped |
| Art. 11 · Technical documentation | CS-204 development record v4 | Mapped |
| Art. 12 · Record-keeping and logging | — | Gap |
| Art. 13 · Transparency to deployers | MODEL-CARD-02 disclosure pack | Mapped |
| Art. 14 · Human oversight | — | Gap |
| Art. 15 · Accuracy and robustness | MRM-STD-02 validation standard | Mapped |
Two gaps to close. Article 12 needs a defined automatic logging and retention control for the model's decisions, and Article 14 needs a documented human-oversight procedure for the credit-decisioning use of CS-204.
Executive summary
Bottom line: five of seven obligations under Articles 9–15 are already covered; two require new controls before deployment.
- check_circleMapped: risk management, data governance, documentation, transparency, accuracy.
- check_circleGap: Article 12 logging and retention control.
- check_circleGap: Article 14 human-oversight procedure.
