Ensure that AI-generated infrastructure-as-code (IaC), CI/CD workflows, deployment configurations, and security policy artifacts are subject to appropriate validation and governance controls.
#
Description
Level
Role
AC.7.1
Verify that AI-generated infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD workflows, and security policy artifacts are clearly identified and tracked.
1
D/V
AC.7.2
Verify that AI-generated infrastructure and pipeline configurations require appropriate review and approval prior to execution.
2
D
AC.7.3
Verify that AI-generated infrastructure and workflow changes are subject to security validation, configuration checks, and policy enforcement equivalent to or stricter than application code.

AC.8 Autonomous Agent Change Control Constraints
Ensure that autonomous AI agents involved in code or configuration generation are subject to appropriate separation of duties and cannot independently approve or promote their own changes.
#
Description
Level
Role
AC.8.1
Verify that autonomous agents cannot approve, merge, sign, or deploy artifacts that they have generated.
1
D/V
AC.8.2
Verify that AI systems operate with scoped identities and permissions that prevent self-promotion of generated artifacts across environments.
2
D
AC.8.3
Verify that separation of duties is enforced between artifact generation, review, approval, and deployment stages for AI-generated changes.

D/V
AC.9 AI Provenance-Aware Deployment Controls
Ensure that deployment and promotion pipelines incorporate provenance-aware validation for AI-generated artifacts.
#
Description
Level
Role
AC.9.1
Verify that AI-generated artifacts include provenance metadata identifying the generating system, generation context, and associated traceability records.
1
D/V
AC.9.2
Verify that deployment pipelines validate the presence and integrity of provenance metadata for AI-generated artifacts prior to promotion.
2
D
AC.9.3
Verify that artifacts lacking required provenance information, or originating from untrusted generation environments, can be rejected during deployment.
3
D/V
AC.10 Provenance Completeness and Validation
Ensure that AI-generated artifacts include complete and consistent provenance metadata, and that this metadata is validated prior to integration or deployment.
In practice, policy-based enforcement depends on the availability and quality of provenance metadata. Incomplete or inconsistent metadata can lead to missed detections or enforcement gaps. These controls ensure that provenance is treated as a first-class requirement and validated prior to artifact acceptance.
#
Description
Level
Role
AC.10.1
Verify that AI-generated artifacts include required provenance fields (e.g., model identity, generation context, human involvement, and session identifiers).
1
D/V
AC.10.2
Verify that provenance metadata is validated for completeness and consistency (e.g., no missing or ambiguous fields, normalized representations).
2
D
AC.10.3
Verify that artifacts with incomplete, inconsistent, or unverifiable provenance metadata are rejected prior to merge or deployment.
