Structure Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage activities
Create an RMF-aligned register of activities and outcomes, assign accountable owners, and maintain links to policies, controls, risks, and decisions for each AI system.
Audit prep shouldn't mean reconciling risk and compliance in two different systems
NIST AI RMF management software
Connect AI governance and compliance activities with the Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage approach to AI risk management.
Tracker AI helps teams capture decisions, summarize risk evidence, and keep Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage work connected as systems and use cases evolve.
From framework to operating model
Turn the NIST AI RMF into an accountable operating model for understanding, measuring, and managing AI risks across the organization.
Make risk decisions auditable
The NIST AI RMF is most useful when teams can trace how governance decisions were made, what evidence supported those decisions, and which actions were taken afterward. Capturing that context reduces ambiguity when risks change or stakeholders ask for justification.
Essential Compliance links decisions, controls, and evidence directly to each AI system and use case so the RMF remains a living operating model rather than a one-time assessment document.

Program structure
Keep each RMF function actionable by linking owners, artifacts, controls, evidence, and remediation in one place rather than splitting the work across disconnected spreadsheets and policy files.
Govern
Define AI governance expectations, accountability, and oversight so risk decisions are documented and repeatable.
Map
Maintain context for each AI system, including use case, stakeholders, impacts, and business dependencies.
Measure
Assess risk signals, control performance, and evidence quality to understand confidence and residual exposure.
Manage
Prioritize treatment actions, monitor changes over time, and adapt controls as systems and regulations evolve.
Inside Essential Compliance
Manage each RMF function with clear ownership and traceability across requirements, controls, evidence, and treatment actions.
01
Create an RMF-aligned register of activities and outcomes, assign accountable owners, and maintain links to policies, controls, risks, and decisions for each AI system.
02
Map AI systems and use cases to relevant risks and the controls intended to manage them. Keep a shared view of where risk treatment is strong, partial, or missing.
03
Schedule evidence collection and reviews, monitor stale or missing artifacts, and preserve a time-based trail that supports RMF measurement and ongoing assurance.
04
Track inherent and residual risk, prioritize treatment plans, and monitor open actions in Essential ERM so RMF execution stays aligned with business impact.
