NIST AI RMF, operationalized.
The NIST AI RMF is voluntary, but federal contracts, insurance underwriters, and boards treat it as table stakes. ShadowIQ maps every function, category, and subcategory to a live control.
Summary
The NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) and Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1) provide voluntary guidance for AI risk management organized into four functions: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. ShadowIQ pre-maps every subcategory to operational controls with cryptographic evidence.
The crosswalk: article → control → signed evidence.
You've heard this one before.
- RMF adoption stalled because 'Govern' requires org-wide policy no one has time to write.
- MEASURE subcategories expect quantitative data that isn't collected.
- Incident playbooks exist in Confluence but not in production.
- Federal contract RFPs demand RMF evidence you don't have.
Three moves.
- 1GOVERN: policies with receipts.
Policy-as-code that's reviewed, versioned, and signed on approval. GOVERN 1-6 evidence flows automatically.
- 2MAP: registry + context.
Every AI system has stakeholders, context, intended use, and risk tolerances recorded. Joined with discovery signals.
- 3MEASURE + MANAGE: operational.
Continuous evaluations produce MEASURE evidence. Gateway enforcement produces MANAGE evidence. Every data point is signed.
Numbers, not adjectives.

Asked, answered, sourced.
It is voluntary guidance, but federal contracts (via executive orders and agency guidance), cyber insurance underwriters, and many state AI procurement rules explicitly reference it. Practically, it is the default US risk language.
NIST AI 600-1 adds actions specific to generative systems (CBRN misuse, content provenance, harmful bias). ShadowIQ supports all 12 action categories with pre-built controls.
Many NIST AI RMF categories have direct analogs in EU AI Act articles. Our crosswalk lets one control satisfy both: e.g., MEASURE 2.7 ↔ EU AI Act Article 15 ↔ the same signed eval record.

Your 30-minute demo. A signed audit trail by the end of it.
We'll wire ShadowIQ into one live workload, block a prompt injection in real time, and hand you a cryptographic receipt — before the meeting ends.
