Structured AI Risk Management with ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF
ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) provide structured frameworks and risk management standards essential in AI systems’ development, deployment, and governance. Organizations across various sectors are increasingly required or encouraged to adopt NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 due to the frameworks’ strong focus on risk management, data protection, and regulatory compliance.
The Tego Approach
ISO 42001
- Focuses on creating a consistent risk management framework
- Helps organizations manage AI risks in a way that aligns with other industries
- Encourages transparency, fairness, and accountability in risk management practices to support ethical AI usage
- Provides a robust framework for identifying, assessing, and managing risks
- Ensures data protection and privacy, minimizing risks of unauthorized access or data misuse
- Emphasizes continuous monitoring to remain compliant with regulatory and organizational standards
- ISO/IEC 42001 focuses on establishing a comprehensive AI management system within an organization, encompassing governance, risk management, and compliance. In contrast, the NIST AI RMF provides a structured approach specifically for managing AI-related risks, emphasizing flexibility and adaptability to various organizational contexts.
- NIST AI RMF includes a focus on enhancing the trustworthiness and reliability of AI systems.
- Provide a foundation for identifying and mitigating biases or security risks inherent in AI models
- Help organizations align with current and anticipated regulations
- Simplify compliance with emerging laws focused on AI ethics, transparency, and security
Turn Uncertainty Into an Actionable Roadmap
AI is already in your organization. Tego’s AI Governance Readiness Assessment gives leadership a clear picture of your AI environment, the exposure that comes with it, and the actions needed to move forward.
Typical engagement from kickoff to leadership readout
Of client effort, spread across five or six people
Built for leadership decisions, not shelf reports
No tooling deployed, no systems modified, no standing access
Know Your AI Environment
A maturity assessment, not a compliance test. We show where you stand and what to fix first.
Executive Readout
A leadership view of current state, key exposures, industry practice comparison, a roadmap summary, and an explicit acceptable-risk decision frame.
AI Governance Readiness Report
Findings mapped to NIST AI RMF functions, each with observed evidence, a maturity rating, framework citation, severity, recommended action, and suggested owner.
AI & Agent Inventory
A structured inventory of the AI tools and agents we discover, with data reach and risk flags for each. For most organizations, it is the first complete view of AI use.
Remediation Roadmap
Prioritized actions across 30, 60, and 90 day horizons plus a strategic tier, with quick-win containment called out separately.
Find It. Understand It. Prioritize It.
A four-step process that turns uncertainty into an actionable roadmap.
Discover
Identify AI tools, access, and data reach.
Assess
Analyze risk, maturity, and control gaps.
Map
Align findings to your frameworks and requirements.
Prioritize
Build your roadmap for action.
Your data stays in your hands.
We collect configuration metadata only, never documents, messages, or customer data. Every export is staged in your environment for review or redaction before Tego sees it.
What’s Out of Scope
Remediation
No policies are written, configurations changed, or tooling deployed.
Penetration Testing & Audit
This is a governance readiness assessment, not a technical security test or audit opinion.
Product Recommendations
Findings are never tied to a purchase from Tego. Implementation support is available as a separate, optional engagement.
Independent Advice, Built on Frameworks You Know
Vendor-Neutral
Independent advisory services, not a platform to sell. Findings are driven by your environment and risk.
Compliance-Native
Built on the NIST AI RMF and mapped to the frameworks you already work within, including CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, the HIPAA Security Rule, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GLBA, and state privacy laws.
Built to Extend
Readiness is the starting point. Your roadmap creates a foundation for ongoing governance and can run alongside your existing assessment and compliance cycles.
