Sampling-based checks still miss opaque anomalies while analysts reconcile spreadsheets to appease regulators. As data volumes increase and breach exposure intensifies, CDOs are being pushed to swap periodic evidencing for always-on, AI-driven assurance. Continuous monitoring promises earlier breach detection, leaner control and immutable audit trails - provided models are trained on quality data and wrapped in transparent governance. With DORA, the EU AI Act, BCBS 239, GDPR, SS1/24 and other strict rules in effect, navigating innovation without setting off compliance tripwires has never been harder. The CDOs that will navigate this with emerging models are the ones that will become compliance champions.
