Govern your AI and automate GRC for EU AI Act and ISO 42001 compliance
Best software for implementing the NIST AI RMF
46 tools · last reviewed 2026-07
Because the NIST AI Risk Management Framework prescribes a methodology rather than a control list, tooling here is judged on how faithfully it supports the Govern, Map, Measure and Manage functions without forcing you into a rigid template. The strongest options let you map your own controls to the framework's outcomes and show progress across all four functions.
How to choose
Prioritise coverage of all four functions, support for the Measure function with real metrics rather than questionnaires, and the ability to cross-map to whatever regulation applies to you.
