Overview

AI Compliance Package — EU AI Act, ISO 42001 & NIST AI RMF

The AI regulatory and governance landscape has arrived with remarkable speed. The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) — the world's first comprehensive AI law — is progressively applying from 2024, with prohibitions on unacceptable risk AI systems active from February 2025 and high-risk system obligations fully applicable by August 2026. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 provides the international management system standard for responsible AI. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework provides a practical four-function (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) approach widely adopted by enterprises globally. Together, these three frameworks constitute the core of modern AI compliance — and they are deeply interconnected.

Intelliroot's AI Compliance Package delivers a co-ordinated, multi-framework assessment covering all three frameworks in a single engagement — eliminating the duplication and inconsistency that results from separate point-in-time assessments. We classify your AI systems against EU AI Act risk tiers, assess ISO 42001 readiness, map controls to the NIST AI RMF, conduct bias and fairness auditing, and develop a unified AI governance policy suite — providing a single, coherent AI compliance programme for your organisation.

Why This Matters

Why a Bundled AI Compliance Approach Makes Sense

EU AI Act Obligations Are Escalating

The EU AI Act's high-risk system obligations, conformity assessment requirements, and prohibited AI prohibitions are being phased in through 2026. Organisations that have not started their compliance journey face an accelerating timeline — the cost of late-stage remediation significantly exceeds the cost of structured early compliance.

Framework Overlap Creates Efficiency

EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF share substantial conceptual overlap — AI risk classification, governance accountability, transparency requirements, and human oversight. A bundled assessment identifies this overlap and maps common controls, delivering three compliance outputs for significantly less effort than three separate assessments.

Enterprise AI Adoption Is Accelerating

Generative AI, automated decision systems, and AI-assisted processes are being adopted across all sectors at a pace that has outrun most organisations' governance frameworks. A structured multi-framework assessment provides the visibility and control architecture needed to govern AI responsibly at scale.

Bias and Fairness Are Material Risks

AI systems making decisions in hiring, credit, insurance, and healthcare face growing scrutiny from regulators and civil society. Unexplainable or biased AI decisions create legal liability, regulatory enforcement risk, and reputational damage. Our package includes structured bias and fairness auditing as a first-class deliverable — not an afterthought.

Scope

  • Internal audit programme design

NIST AI RMF Alignment

  • Govern function: AI governance structure and culture
  • Map function: AI risk context and impact categorisation
  • Measure function: AI risk metrics and monitoring
  • Manage function: AI risk response and residual risk tracking

Bias, Fairness & Explainability

  • Bias and fairness assessment for high-risk AI systems
  • Explainability requirement mapping by use case
  • Data quality and provenance controls review
  • Human oversight mechanism adequacy assessment
Methodology

Our AI Compliance Package Approach

01

AI System Inventory & Risk Classification

Build a complete inventory of all AI systems — developed, procured, embedded, or used via API — and classify each against EU AI Act risk tiers, ISO 42001 risk levels, and NIST AI RMF impact categories. Identify which systems require priority compliance attention and where prohibited AI practices may be in use.

02

Multi-Framework Gap Assessment

Conduct a unified gap assessment across EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF simultaneously — mapping findings to all three frameworks at once using a consolidated control catalogue. Produce a single gap register that identifies the union of compliance obligations without duplication.

03

Bias & Fairness Audit

For high-risk AI systems (under EU AI Act or ISO 42001 risk classification), conduct structured bias and fairness assessment — defining fairness metrics, analysing training data and model outputs for discriminatory patterns, and evaluating explainability mechanisms against regulatory requirements.

04

AI Governance Policy Development

Develop the unified AI governance policy suite covering responsible AI principles, risk assessment methodology, human oversight requirements, bias and fairness controls, EU AI Act technical documentation requirements, and AI incident management — designed to satisfy all three frameworks simultaneously.

05

Unified Remediation Roadmap & Certification Planning

Deliver a single, co-ordinated remediation roadmap covering all three frameworks, sequenced to address the highest-risk non-compliances first. For organisations pursuing ISO 42001 certification or EU AI Act conformity assessment, include a certification timeline and pre-certification readiness milestones.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The EU AI Act has broad territorial reach. It applies to providers who place AI systems on the EU market (regardless of where the provider is established), deployers of AI systems in the EU, and providers or deployers established outside the EU where the AI system's output is used in the EU. This means Indian technology companies building AI products for EU customers, and Indian enterprises deploying AI systems that affect EU residents, are potentially subject to the EU AI Act.
The EU AI Act prohibits AI practices considered to present unacceptable risk — including subliminal manipulation techniques, exploitation of vulnerabilities of specific groups, real-time remote biometric identification in public spaces (with narrow law enforcement exceptions), social scoring by public authorities, and AI systems that infer sensitive attributes. Prohibited practice obligations became applicable in February 2025. Our assessment includes a prohibited practice scan as a priority first step.
The NIST AI RMF is a voluntary, non-prescriptive framework from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, providing practical guidance for managing AI risk across four functions (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage). It does not carry the force of law but is widely adopted as a best-practice governance reference. The EU AI Act is binding EU law with specific conformity requirements. ISO 42001 is a certifiable management system standard. The three complement each other — NIST AI RMF provides the practical governance architecture, ISO 42001 provides the certifiable management system, and EU AI Act provides the legal obligations.
Yes. While the bundled package provides the best value through framework overlap and co-ordinated delivery, we can scope the engagement to cover one or two frameworks. However, we recommend at minimum combining EU AI Act classification and ISO 42001 gap assessment, as they share the AI system inventory, risk classification, and governance policy development workstreams — delivering these separately roughly doubles the effort for minimal additional insight.
