Multinational deployments face overlapping and occasionally contradictory obligations. A single global policy, applied locally, is the only workable answer.
Organisations operating across the EU, UK, Gulf and APAC face a compliance surface that no single regulation describes. The temptation is to build region-specific AI policies. In practice that produces drift, duplication and gaps.
We recommend a single global policy set at the strictest applicable standard, with documented regional annexes for data residency, retention and disclosure requirements. One policy, locally qualified.
The framework needs four artefacts: a system inventory, a risk classification per system, an evaluation record, and an incident procedure. Everything else is elaboration.
The inventory is the part organisations skip and the part regulators ask for first. Start there, even before your first agent reaches production.
