NIST AI RMF organises risk management around four functions: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage. Observatory maps 16 of the framework’s high-impact subcategories to operational controls.

The four functions

A healthy AI RMF posture closes the loop: governance decisions feed mapping, mapping feeds measurement, measurement feeds management, and management updates governance.

Mapped subcategories

Govern (4 mapped)

SubcategoryBacking controls
Govern 1.1 — policies and proceduresPolicies + Audit Trail
Govern 1.4 — accountability and rolesRBAC + AI Registry ownership
Govern 4.1 — AI risk management trainingManual evidence
Govern 5.1 — communication channelsManual evidence (incident-comms plan)

Map (4 mapped)

SubcategoryBacking controls
Map 1.1 — AI system contextAI Registry metadata
Map 1.2 — intended use and limitationsAI Registry + manual evidence
Map 3.3 — record-keepingTelemetry + retention setting
Map 5.1 — third-party AI componentsAI Registry vendor section

Measure (4 mapped)

SubcategoryBacking controls
Measure 1.1 — relevant metricsAnalytics
Measure 2.3 — performance over timeDrift Monitor
Measure 2.7 — security testsPolicies (prompt-injection) + Evidence
Measure 4.2 — feedback mechanismsThread feedback + Evidence

Manage (4 mapped)

SubcategoryBacking controls
Manage 1.1 — prioritise risksRisk Dashboard
Manage 2.3 — incident responseAlerts + Audit Trail
Manage 3.1 — manage third-party risksAI Registry vendor section
Manage 4.1 — communicate to stakeholdersCompliance heatmap export

Overlap with EU AI Act

Several NIST subcategories overlap directly with EU AI Act requirements:
NIST subcategoryOverlaps with
Govern 1.1EU AI Act Article 9 (risk management)
Map 3.3EU AI Act Article 12 (record-keeping)
Measure 2.3EU AI Act Article 15 (robustness)
Manage 2.3EU AI Act Article 62 (incident notification)
Closing one usually closes both. The gap analysis prioritises remediation by cross-framework impact.

Producing the audit pack

Same shape as EU AI Act: a ZIP with per-subcategory evidence and the framework score.

Sister framework with significant overlap.

Risk Dashboard

Where Manage 1.1 (prioritise risks) is operationalised.
