NIST AI RMF readiness in 8-10 weeks, not a blank page
Certifyi maps the NIST AI Risk Management Framework's four functions — Govern, Map, Measure, Manage — onto controls you're likely already building for SOC 2 or ISO 42001, so enterprise AI buyers get the assurance they're asking for without a parallel compliance project.
AI-specific risk needs an AI-specific framework
Standard infosec controls were not built for model risk — and enterprise AI procurement knows it.
Enterprise AI procurement now requires it
Large enterprises and U.S. federal buyers increasingly require a documented AI risk process before approving an AI vendor, and NIST AI RMF is the standard they cite.
No fixed checklist to follow
Unlike SOC 2 or ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF is functions-based with no prescribed control list, leaving teams unsure what "compliant" looks like.
AI risk falls outside standard infosec
Model bias, hallucination, and drift aren't covered by traditional security controls, so bolting AI onto an existing ISMS misses real risk.
Governance ownership is unclear
Without a named framework, AI risk decisions get made ad hoc across engineering, legal, and product with no consistent record.
A documented program, function by function
Pre-built policy and risk-mapping templates for each of the four NIST functions, reviewed weekly with a compliance lead.
Govern function scaffolding
Pre-built policies and role definitions for AI governance: risk committees, escalation paths, and accountability mapped to your org chart.
Map & Measure risk library
Structured risk-mapping templates for every AI system you operate, plus measurement approaches for bias, robustness, and drift.
Manage function playbooks
Documented incident response and continuous-improvement processes specific to AI system failures, not generic security incidents.
Crosswalked to SOC 2 and ISO 42001
Controls built for NIST AI RMF map directly onto ISO/IEC 42001 and SOC 2 evidence, so the work is never siloed to one framework.

Deploy policy templates and risk-mapping documentation function by function with weekly expert review.
Deliverable: Function-by-function control setWeek 6-10: Manage & Continuous Monitoring
Stand up incident response playbooks and an ongoing measurement cadence carried forward after launch.
Deliverable: AI RMF Readiness ReportWhat changes when your AI program is documented
Not just a report — a faster enterprise sales cycle and a defensible governance record.
NIST functions covered
Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage all documented and evidenced — not just the parts that overlap with existing security work.
Frameworks advanced per engagement
NIST AI RMF controls map directly onto ISO 42001 and SOC 2, so most of the work counts toward more than one certification.
To a documented AI RMF program
Faster than building a governance program from a blank page with a consultant unfamiliar with AI-specific risk.
NIST AI RMF, answered
The NIST AI RMF is a voluntary framework published by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology in January 2023 to help organizations manage risks from AI systems. It's organized into four functions — Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage — rather than a fixed checklist, and it's increasingly cited by enterprise and federal buyers as the reference standard for AI vendor risk reviews.
No. NIST AI RMF is a voluntary framework, not a certifiable standard with an accredited auditor and report. Certifyi helps you build and document a program aligned to its four functions, which you can reference in vendor security questionnaires, RFPs, and enterprise sales conversations.
Both address AI governance, risk assessment, and lifecycle management, but ISO/IEC 42001 is a certifiable management-system standard with an accredited audit, while NIST AI RMF is a voluntary framework more common with U.S. buyers. Certifyi maps controls across both so the same underlying work supports either or both.
8-10 weeks to a documented, evidenced program covering all four functions, versus months of ad hoc policy writing without a structured framework and a dedicated compliance lead.
