How Safeguard covers AI RMF

  • Scan requirements: 4, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 13 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for AI RMF.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 26: 4 written for AI RMF and 22 from the standard set.

How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.

What a scan checks

Each scan of a product checks these 4 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
AIRNMF-MAP-1 AI/ML Component IdentificationNIST AI RMF requires identification of AI/ML components for risk categorizationScan
AIRNMF-MAP-3 AI Model DocumentationAI models must be documented with purpose, training data, and limitationsScan

More controls in the catalog

The framework's Controls tab lists its scan requirements and these controls from Safeguard's control catalog. Evidence them with automated tests, uploaded evidence, policies or an attestation.
