NIST AI RMF Guide for Security Teams
NIST AI RMF is a risk-management framework for AI systems. Security teams can use it to organize governance, map system context, measure risk, and manage improvements.
The four functions
The NIST AI RMF organizes AI risk work into four functions: GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, and MANAGE. Those functions help teams think about accountability, context, measurement, and treatment.
| Function | What it helps teams do |
|---|---|
| GOVERN | Set governance, roles, policies, and oversight. |
| MAP | Understand the AI system context, use case, and dependencies. |
| MEASURE | Assess risk signals and control performance. |
| MANAGE | Plan and execute remediation or mitigation. |
How security assessment uses the framework
A security assessment can map evidence to these functions by showing who owns the AI system, what the system touches, how risk is measured, and what actions are underway to reduce exposure.
What not to claim
Do not describe SecureAIScore as NIST-certified or officially endorsed. The right wording is that the assessment is informed by the framework and can help teams organize evidence against it.
