How do I map AI controls to the NIST AI RMF?

Direct Answer

Mapping controls to the NIST AI RMF begins with identifying which AI systems your organization operates or procures. For each system, evaluate coverage across the four functions: Govern (policies and culture), Map (context and risk identification), Measure (risk analysis and metrics), and Manage (risk treatment and monitoring). The SCF provides pre-mapped controls across AI RMF and multiple other frameworks.

A practical AI RMF mapping exercise starts with an AI system inventory - documenting each AI system, its business function, the data it processes, and who is affected by its outputs.

 

Then evaluate each system against the AI RMF subcategories within each function. Govern subcategories check for policies, roles, and accountability structures. Map subcategories assess whether you have identified risks specific to each system's context. Measure subcategories verify whether you have testing processes and metrics in place. Manage subcategories confirm you have risk treatment plans in place and are monitoring them.

 

SCF's pre-built AI RMF mappings reduce the manual effort required.
