NIST AI RMF, implemented as a working assurance framework.

We turn the four functions, Govern, Map, Measure and Manage, from a document you cite into controls your teams run.

The problem

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) is the most widely referenced AI assurance framework in the world, and one of the most often cited without being implemented.

Teams adopt its language but not its practice: no clear mapping from Govern, Map, Measure and Manage to the specific controls, owners and metrics their organisation actually runs.

Why it matters

For UAE and GCC organisations working with US partners, funders or standards, a demonstrable AI RMF implementation is fast becoming table stakes. Citing the framework is not the same as operating it, and only the second protects you in an incident review.

How the engagement runs

  1. Govern

    Establish the AI risk culture, policies and accountability the framework assumes.

  2. Map

    Catalogue AI systems and their context, intended use and stakeholders.

  3. Measure

    Define metrics and tests for each material risk: bias, robustness, security, drift.

  4. Manage

    Prioritise, treat and monitor risks with named owners and thresholds.

  5. Map to ISO 42001

    Cross-map to ISO/IEC 42001 so one control set satisfies both, where useful.

What you receive

  • AI RMF profile: your target and current state across all four functions.
  • Control mapping: each function tied to concrete controls, owners and evidence.
  • Measurement plan: the metrics and tests that make 'Measure' real.
  • ISO 42001 crosswalk: where the AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 overlap, mapped once.

Frequently asked questions

Is the NIST AI RMF a certification?

No. Unlike ISO/IEC 42001, the AI RMF is a voluntary framework with no certificate. Its value is a defensible, evidenced implementation, which is what we build.

Should we choose NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001?

Often both. We frequently implement the AI RMF for operational risk practice and ISO/IEC 42001 for certifiable assurance, using one mapped control set.

Who owns this once you leave?

Your risk, governance or CISO function. We design it to be run by your team and hand over the profile, controls and playbooks.

How does this relate to our existing risk framework?

We align the AI RMF to your enterprise risk management so AI risk reports up the same lines as every other material risk.
