Govern pillar

Stop chasing compliance—start managing it

Pre-built frameworks for EU AI Act, ISO 42001, ISO 27001, and NIST AI RMF with structured workflows, evidence collection, and real-time progress tracking.

The challenge

Compliance frameworks are complex—and they're multiplying

Organizations deploying AI now face a patchwork of regulations and standards: EU AI Act, ISO 42001, ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF, and more on the horizon. Each framework has different structures, terminology, and requirements. Managing compliance across multiple frameworks manually leads to duplication, gaps, and audit surprises.

Each framework has a different structure—controls, clauses, functions, categories

No clear way to track which requirements are implemented vs. still pending

Overlapping requirements across frameworks create duplicate work

Evidence gets scattered across file shares, emails, and different systems

Auditors ask questions you can't answer without hours of preparation

Benefits

Why use Compliance frameworks?

Key advantages for your AI governance program

Start with pre-mapped controls, not blank templates

Track every requirement through a structured workflow

Assign clear ownership with review and approval gates

Show auditors exactly where you stand at any moment

Capabilities

What you can do

Core functionality of Compliance frameworks

Ready-to-use frameworks

Four major AI governance frameworks pre-configured with all controls, clauses, and requirements—ready to implement from day one.

Structured implementation workflow

Move each control through a 7-stage workflow with built-in review and approval gates to ensure nothing slips through.

Cross-framework efficiency

Map overlapping controls between frameworks so implementing one requirement can satisfy multiple standards simultaneously.

Real-time progress visibility

See completion percentages, assignment status, and gap analysis across all frameworks at a glance.

Enterprise example

How an organization achieved multi-framework compliance efficiently

See how organizations use this capability in practice

The challenge

An organization needed to demonstrate compliance with both ISO 42001 for their AI management system and EU AI Act for their high-risk AI applications. Their compliance team was managing everything in spreadsheets, with evidence scattered across SharePoint, email attachments, and local drives. Preparing for their first external audit was taking weeks of effort.

The solution

They adopted a centralized compliance platform with pre-built frameworks for both ISO 42001 and EU AI Act. Each control was assigned to specific team members with clear review and approval workflows. Evidence was uploaded directly to each control, creating a single source of truth.

The outcome

The organization completed their ISO 42001 certification audit with all evidence readily accessible. When EU AI Act deadlines approached, they could show regulators exactly which controls were implemented, which were in progress, and who was responsible for each. Cross-mapping between frameworks meant work done for ISO 42001 automatically counted toward EU AI Act requirements where they overlapped.

Why VerifyWise

Four frameworks, one system, zero guesswork

What makes our approach different

Pre-built framework structures

EU AI Act's 13 control categories, ISO 42001/27001 clauses and annexes, NIST AI RMF's four functions—all ready to use without manual setup.

Workflow-driven implementation

Every control moves through Not Started → Draft → In Progress → Awaiting Review → Awaiting Approval → Implemented. Nothing gets marked complete without proper review.

Three-role accountability

Assign an Owner to implement, a Reviewer to evaluate, and an Approver to sign off. Clear responsibilities mean no ambiguity about who does what.

Evidence attached at the control level

Link policies, screenshots, test results, and audit reports directly to the controls they support. When auditors ask for proof, it's already organized.

Regulatory context

Understanding the framework landscape

AI governance frameworks share common themes—risk management, transparency, human oversight, documentation—but each approaches them differently. A unified compliance approach helps address all requirements systematically.

EU AI Act

Requires providers of high-risk AI to implement quality management systems, maintain technical documentation, and demonstrate conformity with essential requirements across 13 categories.

ISO 42001

Establishes requirements for an AI management system (AIMS) covering organizational context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement.

NIST AI RMF

Provides a voluntary framework organized around four functions—Govern, Map, Measure, Manage—to help organizations address AI risks throughout the AI lifecycle.
