AI governance frameworks

What the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 reports map, which articles, subcategories and controls they cover, and what evidence moves each one.

Updated 02 Nov 2026Checked against vdb-cyclonedx@eaf787c, vdb-site@1a06d67

The three AI frameworks share one evidence base: the AI inventory that vulnetix aibom builds (models, providers, AI SDKs, agents, the infrastructure and data they touch), plus the organisation’s scans, triage policy, findings, VEX, provenance and uploaded documents. Each control gets one of five statuses: satisfied, partial, gap, informational or not-applicable. See Status vocabulary.

EU Artificial Intelligence Act (eu_ai_act)

Resolve Platform: /resolve/eu-ai-act. The report maps 21 articles of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, in article order:

Article Subject
4 AI literacy
5 Prohibited AI practices
6 Classification of high-risk AI systems
9 Risk management system
10 Data and data governance
11 / Annex IV Technical documentation
12 Record-keeping
13 Instructions for use
14 Human oversight
15 Accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity
17 Quality management system
18 Documentation keeping
19 Automatically generated logs
20 Corrective actions and duty of information
26 Obligations of deployers of high-risk AI systems
50 Transparency obligations
51 General-purpose AI: classification and systemic-risk designation
53 Obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models
55 Obligations for providers of GPAI models with systemic risk
72 Post-market monitoring
73 Reporting of serious incidents

Article 11 / Annex IV is partly evidenced by the inventory and SBOMs (Annex IV section 2: components, compute and data). The intended purpose, the monitoring and control description and the validation results are sections the provider writes; attach them to the control.

The console page draws the Act’s risk pyramid from the classifications on record.

NIST AI Risk Management Framework (nist_ai_rmf)

Resolve Platform: /resolve/nist-ai-rmf. The report maps 22 of the 72 subcategories in the AI RMF 1.0 core, the ones an AI inventory, scan telemetry and triage records can evidence:

Function Subcategories mapped
GOVERN 1.2, 1.6, 3.1, 4.1, 6.1, 6.2
MAP 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1
MEASURE 1.1, 2.1, 2.7, 3.1
MANAGE 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 4.1, 4.3

Every export says so: the other 50 subcategories are out of scope and are neither assessed nor implied to be met. GOVERN 3.1, for example, cites your triage policy’s remediation windows per severity and its triage threshold.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (iso_42001)

Resolve Platform: /resolve/iso-42001. The report has two parts.

Annex A: 21 of the 38 controls.

Category Controls mapped
A.2 Policies related to AI A.2.2
A.3 Internal organization A.3.2, A.3.3
A.4 Resources for AI systems A.4.2, A.4.4, A.4.5
A.5 Assessing impacts of AI systems A.5.2, A.5.4
A.6 AI system life cycle A.6.2.3, A.6.2.4, A.6.2.5, A.6.2.6, A.6.2.7, A.6.2.8
A.7 Data for AI systems A.7.2, A.7.5
A.8 Information for interested parties A.8.3
A.9 Responsible use of AI systems A.9.2
A.10 Third-party relationships A.10.2, A.10.3

Management-system clauses 4 to 10: 6 of the 25 requirements, as category C: C.4.1 (context and scope), C.6.1.2, C.6.1.3, C.8.1, C.9.1 and C.10.1. Telemetry evidences part of each and never satisfies one on its own. Scope, objectives, competence, internal audit and management review need uploaded evidence.

The coverage note counts the two parts separately, so added clause coverage is never read as added Annex A coverage.

Evidence that moves AI controls

Evidence Moves
An AI inventory scan in the period Inventory, provenance and documentation controls in all three frameworks
A triage policy with remediation windows Risk-management controls (EU AI Act Article 9, NIST GOVERN 3.1, MANAGE)
Scans and findings on AI components Accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity (Article 15, MEASURE 2.7)
Uploaded documents on a control Any control whose evidence is organisational: Articles 4, 5, 6, 13, 17; ISO clause requirements
