DNLA Governance Readiness

Preparation for a formal AI management system, aligned to ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and the relevant parts of the EU AI Act. Built for organizations that need to demonstrate governed, auditable AI practices to customers, regulators, or their own board.

Start a readiness assessment

Why now

"We use AI responsibly" is turning into a documentation requirement

Enterprise procurement questionnaires, cyber-insurance applications, and regulatory frameworks are all converging on the same demand, not a statement of intent but evidence: a named owner, a risk classification, a change-management process, an incident log. Most organizations using AI in production today would fail that request if asked tomorrow, not because their AI is unsafe, but because none of it is written down anywhere an auditor could find it.

Deliverables

What you walk away with

  • Gap mapping against the target framework
  • AI policy
  • Role and ownership definitions
  • Risk classification
  • A system approval process
  • Vendor management
  • Change management
  • Incident documentation
  • Performance monitoring
  • Staff training
  • An Evidence Room, ready for audit

How it runs

From baseline to audit-ready

  1. Baseline review: map every AI system in scope against ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI RMF, and applicable EU AI Act obligations
  2. Gap analysis: identify what's missing, including policy, ownership, documentation, and controls
  3. Build: draft the policies, roles, and processes the gap analysis calls for
  4. Evidence Room: assemble the documentation an external auditor will actually ask for
  5. Dry run: a mock audit against the Evidence Room before the real one
Important: DNLA is not an accredited certification body. Governance Readiness delivers a readiness assessment, a pre-audit, and independent assurance; it prepares your organization to pass a formal certification audit. It does not itself issue an ISO certificate.

Who it's for

  • Vendors selling AI-enabled products into enterprises that now require governance evidence in procurement
  • Regulated industries (finance, health, insurance, public sector) under direct compliance pressure
  • Organizations that already have an ISO 27001 or similar management system and are extending it to AI
  • Boards that want assurance the AI program is governed, not just deployed

Need to prove your AI governance is real, not a slide deck?

We'll map the gaps before an external auditor finds them.
