What the layered view adds
ENISA’s Multilayer Framework for Good Cybersecurity Practices for AI distinguishes foundational cybersecurity, AI-specific cybersecurity, and sector-specific concerns. It helps readers avoid treating AI as detached from the systems and processes already surrounding it. Follow the official page for the publication and related work.
Start with the foundations
A model service still depends on protected accounts, secure configurations, trustworthy dependencies, and recoverable data. Check those basics before assuming a specialized AI control is the most urgent improvement. The surrounding infrastructure can expose sensitive information even when the model behaves as intended.
Add the context that changes the consequence
An unreliable summary in a casual brainstorming tool differs from one used in an essential operational process. Ask how the sector, user population, and business dependency change the assessment. Include the people who understand those consequences rather than expecting a general AI specialist to infer them.
Use it as a structured review
Walk through one architecture layer at a time. Record existing controls, missing evidence, and questions requiring another owner. Keep a separate record of legal applicability. A cybersecurity framework can inform the technical review while legal and organizational decisions require their own evidence and authority.
Try this with a familiar use case
Choose a document assistant or an AI feature your team understands. Read one of the official resources below, write down a question it raises, and identify the local evidence needed to answer it. Keep your own interpretation separate from the source’s stated requirements.
