AI Governance Audit-Readiness Checklist.

A free, 14-item self-scored readiness checklist across NIST AI RMF — Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage — mapped to ISO/IEC 42001 and US supervisory expectations. Score yourself in about ten minutes and see exactly where your AI governance stands before an examiner, a board, or a procurement team asks.

No score is sent anywhere. You score yourself; we send you the checklist to keep.

What's inside

14 items. Four functions. One honest read.

This is a self-assessment, not an audit and not a certification. It walks you through 14 concrete questions across the four NIST AI RMF functions, each tagged with the ISO/IEC 42001 clause and the US supervisory expectation it lines up with, so you know which questions an examiner, a board, or a procurement team is most likely to press on.

  • Govern — accountability, policy, roles, and AI inventory ownership.
  • Map — use-case context, risk tiering, and third-party AI dependencies.
  • Measure — testing, monitoring, fairness, and documentation evidence.
  • Manage — risk response, change management, and incident handling.

Mapped to ISO/IEC 42001 and US supervisory expectations (SR 11-7 model risk, third-party risk, fair lending, and UDAP/UDAAP). Roughly ten minutes to complete.

§ What this is·and what it isn't

A self-assessment. Not certification.

The AI Governance Audit-Readiness Checklist is a self-scored readiness aid, not an audit, an attestation, or a certification. DSE is not an accredited certification body and does not issue ISO/IEC 42001 certificates or certify EU AI Act or NIST AI RMF compliance.

Completing the checklist does not guarantee passing an audit or avoiding enforcement, and it is not legal advice. Where it describes "mapping to" NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, or US supervisory expectations, that means advisory alignment, not certification. For a scoped engagement, all work is governed by a signed SOW / MSA.
