The IIA's Three Lines Model (2020)
The IIA's Three Lines Model (2020) — 38% of in-scope requirements covered.
6 requirements · 6 in scope (3 designed · 3 advisory). The 38% is weighted over the in-scope base.
Source: The Institute of Internal Auditors — The IIA's Three Lines Model (2020 update of the Three Lines of Defence). KYE Protocol™ maps each of the six principles to the authority, evidence and assurance primitives that make AI-agent actions governable across the first line (operational management), second line (risk and compliance), and third line (internal audit). KYE™ supplies the runtime authority + evidence layer the model assumes; it does not replace any line's people or mandate. · License: IIA — model text is copyrighted; KYE™ registry paraphrases each principle's intent and cites the principle number for mapping purposes only.
