Explanation

AAISM emphasizes supplier assurance through contractual obligations as the foundational control for AI supply chain risk. Contracts should require verifiable evidence of secure development practices (e.g., secure SDLC, model and data provenance documentation, SBOM/MBOM where applicable, vulnerability disclosure, patch SLAs, audit rights, incident notification, and regulatory compliance assertions). This creates enforceable, continuous assurance beyond point-in-time tests.
