AI Risk Management Workflow
Workflow management application that operationalizes NIST AI RMF 1.0 to identify, assess, track, and govern AI risks across design, development, deployment, and use.
The Problem
“Operationalize NIST AI RMF 1.0 for enterprise AI risk management across the AI lifecycle”
Organizations face these key challenges:
AI governance is handled ad hoc across teams with inconsistent review criteria
Evidence for risk assessments is scattered across documents, tickets, repositories, and cloud systems
Manual control mapping to NIST AI RMF is slow and error-prone
Risk owners lack a single system to track findings, mitigations, approvals, and exceptions
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Collect project artifacts and evidence from documents, tickets, repositories, and cloud records
- •Interpret NIST AI RMF requirements and manually map controls to each AI project
- •Conduct periodic risk reviews, score findings, and document decisions in spreadsheets or static records
- •Assign owners, track mitigations and exceptions, and follow up on overdue actions
Automation
Human Does
- •Review AI-generated assessments and make final risk, approval, and launch decisions
- •Approve remediation plans, control exceptions, and risk acceptance for unresolved issues
- •Escalate high-impact model, data, privacy, security, or fairness risks to governance stakeholders
AI Handles
- •Ingest project artifacts and extract risk signals, evidence, and missing documentation across the AI lifecycle
- •Prefill NIST AI RMF questionnaires, recommend applicable controls, and draft risk summaries
- •Standardize risk scoring, classify findings, and route issues to the appropriate owners with SLA-based workflows
- •Monitor changes, incidents, and remediation progress to trigger reassessments and prioritize follow-up
Operating Intelligence
How it works
AI runs the first three steps autonomously.
Humans own every decision.
The system gets smarter each cycle.
Who is in control at each step
Each column marks the operating owner for that step. AI-led actions sit above the divider, human decisions and feedback loops sit below it.

Human lead
Approval, override, feedback
AI handles assembly, analysis, and execution. The human gate sits at the decision point. Every cycle refines future recommendations.
The Loop
6 steps
Assemble Context
Combine the relevant records, signals, and constraints.
Analyze
Evaluate options, risk, and likely outcomes.
Recommend
Present a ranked recommendation with supporting rationale.
Human Decision
A human accepts, edits, or rejects the recommendation.
Authority gates · 1
The system must not approve launch, risk acceptance, control exceptions, or final assessment outcomes without a designated human reviewer or governance approver making the decision [S1].
Why this step is human
The decision carries real-world consequences that require professional judgment and accountability.
Execute
Carry out the approved action in the operating workflow.
Feedback
Outcome data improves future recommendations.
