Post-deployment monitoring and drift detection
Risk and Assurance
What is post-deployment monitoring and drift detection?
Sets performance metrics, thresholds and review triggers after launch, and treats a model change, a vendor update or new data as a reason to re-check.
Where the frameworks place it: EU AI Act Article 72; NIST AI RMF MEASURE 3 and MANAGE 4.
The interview question it draws
A model has been in production for a year. What do you monitor, what threshold triggers a review, and who gets the alert?
A strong answer walks through the practice itself, with one real case, what you decided, and what the evidence showed afterwards.
