Standards mapping matrix
Every ACF® methodological card is mapped to five major standards: EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, GDPR, COBIT 2019. The mapping is conservative, only the principal article is cited. The full machine-readable matrix is exposed via the acf.regulation.article MCP tool.

How to read the matrix
ACF-09 (Agentic Decisions Register) directly implements the EU AI Act Art. 12 obligation on automatic event logging and Art. 26(6) on six-month log retention by the deployer. ISO/IEC 42001-side, it falls under clause 9.1 (monitoring, measurement, analysis, evaluation). NIST AI RMF-side, MEASURE-2. GDPR-side, Art. 30 (record of processing activities). COBIT-side, MEA-01.
A compliance team that deploys ACF-09 produces, in one motion, the artifacts that all five standards demand. That is the economy of scale the matrix makes operational.
Programmatic access
This matrix is derived from the same JSON consumed by the MCP server. To consume it inside an AI agent, use the acf.regulation.article tool and pass an article identifier (e.g. AI Act Art. 9); you get the verified text + the list of ACF® fiches operationalising it + their mapping cells for the other four standards.
Versioning
The mapping is versioned with the doctrine. The current version is embedded in every doctrine_hash emitted by acf-mcp. When a standard evolves (e.g. AI Act amendment), a new doctrine_version ships and the signature changes. Prior versions stay verifiable.
