AI GOVERNANCE · Workflow idea
For an organization assessing its AI management practices, organize documented responses against relevant ISO/IEC 42001 requirements and identify evidence or ownership gaps for review. A mapped response is not proof that a control is effective, and a preliminary assessment is not certification or legal advice. Protect internal risk and system information, check requirement versions and evidence dates, distinguish stated practice from demonstrated evidence, and require qualified governance and security owners to approve any conclusion or corrective action.
01 / The starting point
A defined management-system scope, approved requirements, and restricted evidence
“Review governance coverage without turning a response mapping into an unsupported compliance claim.”
02 / The work
Organizes AI governance responses against selected management-system requirements and prepares them for expert review.
Check which organization, use cases, and requirement edition are being reviewed.
Keep the basis for each mapping visible and flag ambiguous or partial matches.
Check that records demonstrate the stated practice and identify accountable owners.
Restrict evidence and avoid exposing sensitive system information in summaries.
Have governance and security owners validate gaps and any public compliance statement.
03 / The result
A requirement-linked review with evidence gaps, uncertainty notes, and owner decisions.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A requirement-linked review with evidence gaps, uncertainty notes, and owner decisions.
A response can sound complete without showing that a practice is implemented or effective. Verify source evidence and scope, avoid unsupported compliance claims, and keep formal assessment and remediation decisions with qualified people.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Use approved requirement references and clear assessment boundaries.
Limit evidence, risks, and assessment notes to authorized reviewers.
Require evidence references and identify assertions that need follow-up.
Make clear that qualified assessors and accountable leaders own formal outcomes.
