Indicative equivalences by framework

Published framework

NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and EU AI Act equivalences are indicative readings, not official certifications.

NIST AI RMF

  • Security → NIST Manage + Measure (misuse safeguards, testing, incident handling)
  • Stability → NIST Manage (continuity, monitoring, recovery)
  • Coherence → NIST Map + Measure (risk identification, behavior measurement)
  • Reputation → NIST Govern (external trust and accountability)
  • Transparency → NIST Govern (documentation, explainability)

Estimated NIST AI RMF maturity tier: Tier 3/4

ISO/IEC 42001

  • Security → clause 6 (risk treatment) + clause 8 (operational controls)
  • Stability → clause 8 (Operations) + clause 10 (Improvement)
  • Coherence → clause 6 (Planning) + clause 9 (Performance evaluation)
  • Reputation → clause 7 (Support)
  • Transparency → clause 4 (Context) + clause 5 (Leadership)

Estimated ISO 42001 coverage: 75%
