What is AI governance?
AI governance is the set of policies, roles, processes and controls that ensure AI is used safely, ethically, legally and effectively. Two widely used references are the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (functions: Govern, Map, Measure and Manage) and ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the certifiable international standard for an AI management system.

AI governance FAQs
Common questions about governing AI.
What is the difference between NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001?
NIST AI RMF is a voluntary risk management framework. ISO/IEC 42001 is a certifiable management system standard with defined requirements. Many organizations use NIST AI RMF for risk practice and ISO 42001 for certification.
Can Skytech Enterprise certify us for ISO 42001?
No. Certification is issued by accredited certification bodies. We prepare you for the certification audit.
Do small companies need AI governance?
Yes, in proportion. Even a short AI policy, an inventory and clear ownership reduce risk significantly.
Does AI governance help with the EU AI Act?
A governance programme provides the foundation for meeting obligations under regulations such as the EU AI Act, where they apply to you. Legal advice should confirm specific obligations.
How long does it take to set up AI governance?
A baseline programme typically takes 6 to 12 weeks; ISO 42001 readiness takes longer depending on scope.
