The Create Risk Assessment Template page allows governance and compliance leads to build custom assessment templates tailored to their organization's specific AI and data risk requirements.
Purpose
While RexCommand includes globally standardized templates aligned with governance frameworks such as NIST AI RMF and GDPR, many organizations have internal policies, industry-specific concerns, or audit requirements that require customized risk evaluations.
This builder enables users to:
Create organization-specific assessments
Group questions into logical sections and subsections
Customize question types and input formats
Define which templates apply to AI systems, datasets, or both
Ensure assessments reflect internal accountability and compliance criteria
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Template Structure Builder
1. Fill in Template Details
Start by entering:
Template Name – A clear, descriptive name (e.g., “Internal Model Review Assessment”)
Description – A short explanation of what this template covers and when it should be used
Applicable To – Choose whether this assessment applies to AI systems, datasets, or both
2. Add a Section
Click Add Section to create a major grouping within your assessment. This might represent a theme such as "Model Governance" or "Data Privacy." Sections help break the template into organized categories.
3. Add a Subsection
Click Add Subsection inside your section to further organize questions. For example, a section on "Model Governance" might include subsections for "Model Transparency" or "Human Oversight."
4. Add a Question
Each subsection can contain one or more questions. To add a question:
Click Add Question
Choose a Question Type:
Short Text – Open-ended, single-line responses
Long Text – Open-ended, multi-line responses
Select One (Radio) – A list where users choose one option
Select Many (Checkboxes) – A list where users can select multiple options
Enter the Question Text – This is what the assessor will be asked
Repeat as needed to build out your full assessment structure.
5. Organize and Manage Content
You can reorder sections, subsections, or questions using drag-and-drop or the arrow next to the trash can. Use the red trash icons to delete any unwanted elements.
You can also hide and unhide sections as you complete and work on them.
6. Preview the Template
Click Preview in the top right of the builder to see what the final assessment will look like for users. This helps verify layout and flow before saving.
