ACF® × NIST AI RMF
Mapping of the 17 ACF® cards to the functions and sub-functions of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 (GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, MANAGE).
iNote
The NIST AI RMF is voluntary but widely used as a contractual baseline, notably in US federal procurement and at large integrators. ACF® makes adherence concrete: every NIST sub-function maps to a pre-fillable card, not a workshop to redo.
NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 (2023) ↗
NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 (2023). Voluntary US framework articulating four functions: GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, MANAGE. Used as the de facto baseline by many US organisations and increasingly referenced in procurement.
ACF® mapping → NIST AI RMF
Each row below is an ACF® methodological card and the principal article of the standard it maps to. The mapping is deliberately conservative — when a card covers several articles, only the principal article is cited here. The full multi-standard view is on the matrix.
