# 02 AIGO Cross Framework Requirements Mapping v0.1

# AIGO — Cross-Framework Requirements Mapping

## 1. Document Purpose

This document defines the cross-framework requirements mapping between:

* the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act;
* ISO/IEC 42001:2023; and
* NIST AI RMF 1.0;

and the AIGO operational governance architecture.

The purpose is to identify where requirements or outcomes from different frameworks address related governance objectives and can therefore use common AIGO controls, evidence, monitoring, and assurance.

This document does **not** declare that requirements from different frameworks are legally or normatively equivalent.

The individual framework mappings remain authoritative for the exact interpretation of each source requirement.

# 2. Mapping Information

| Field               | Value                                                |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Mapping             | AIGO Cross-Framework Requirements Mapping            |
| Version             | 0.1                                                  |
| Status              | Draft                                                |

# 3. Source Framework Baselines

The cross-framework requirements model currently uses:

```text theme={null}
EU AI Act
    ↓
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689
    +
applicable amendments

ISO/IEC 42001
    ↓
ISO/IEC 42001:2023

NIST AI RMF
    ↓
NIST AI 100-1
AI RMF 1.0
```

The current EU legal baseline includes Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, which amended the AI Act as part of the Digital Omnibus on AI.

ISO identifies ISO/IEC 42001:2023 as a published International Standard specifying requirements for an Artificial Intelligence Management System.

NIST identifies AI RMF 1.0 as NIST AI 100-1 and currently states that AI RMF 1.0 is being updated.

***

# 4. Normative Status

The cross-framework requirements model must preserve the different status of each source.

| Framework     | Status                                   |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| EU AI Act     | Binding EU legislation                   |
| ISO/IEC 42001 | International management-system standard |
| NIST AI RMF   | Voluntary risk-management framework      |

A relationship between requirements does not change these statuses.

***

# 5. Requirements Mapping Principle

The fundamental relationship is:

```text theme={null}
External Requirement
        ↓
Requirement Interpretation
        ↓
Cross-Framework Relationship
        ↓
AIGO Governance Objective
        ↓
AIGO Control
```

The source requirement remains independently identifiable.

***

# 6. Requirement Relationship Types

This document uses:

```text theme={null}
DIRECT
PARTIAL
OVERLAPPING
COMPLEMENTARY
INTEGRATED
CONDITIONAL
SUPPORTING
CONFLICTING
NO_DIRECT_EQUIVALENT
```

## DIRECT

The source requirements address substantially the same operational governance objective.

## PARTIAL

One source addresses only part of the operational objective.

## OVERLAPPING

The source requirements cover related governance subject matter but have different scope or criteria.

## COMPLEMENTARY

The requirements address different aspects of the same governance objective.

## INTEGRATED

Multiple source requirements can be operationalized through a common AIGO process.

## CONDITIONAL

The relationship applies only under specified applicability conditions.

## SUPPORTING

One requirement provides useful support for another but does not satisfy it.

## CONFLICTING

The requirements cannot safely be treated as a single requirement or control relationship without additional analysis.

## NO\_DIRECT\_EQUIVALENT

There is no defensible common requirement relationship.

***

# 7. Requirement Identity Rule

Every requirement retains its original source identity.

For example:

```text theme={null}
EUAI-ART-005
ISO42001-CLAUSE-...
NIST-AIRMF-GOVERN-...
```

A common AIGO control must never replace the source identifier.

***

# 8. Applicability Rule

Cross-framework mapping occurs only after framework-specific applicability is determined.

The sequence is:

```text theme={null}
Source Framework
       ↓
Applicability
       ↓
Requirement
       ↓
AIGO Relationship
       ↓
Control
```

An organization must not mark a requirement as applicable solely because another framework maps to the same AIGO control.

***

# 9. Cross-Framework Requirement Matrix

The following matrix identifies major governance areas where the frameworks can be operationally connected.

AI risk management is intended to operate iteratively and continuously.

NIST states that risk management should be continuous, timely, and performed throughout AI-system lifecycle dimensions.

### Relationship

`DIRECT / INTEGRATED`

### AIGO Control

`AIGO-XFW-IMPR-001`

***

# 41. Retirement

## 41.1 Common Objective

Terminate AI systems in a controlled manner while preserving required records and resolving residual obligations.

### EU AI Act

Applicable lifecycle, record, and post-deployment obligations may affect retirement.

### ISO/IEC 42001

AI-system lifecycle governance includes controlled lifecycle management.

### NIST AI RMF

Risk management continues through the AI lifecycle and should consider changing contexts and risks.

### Relationship

`COMPLEMENTARY`

### AIGO Control

`AIGO-XFW-RET-001`

# 42. Framework-Specific Requirements

Not every requirement has a shared equivalent.

The following categories should generally remain framework-specific.

## EU AI Act-specific

Examples include:

* prohibited AI practices;
* statutory high-risk classification;
* GPAI-specific obligations;
* regulatory registration;
* CE/conformity mechanisms;
* statutory transparency obligations;
* regulatory reporting;
* enforcement;
* legally defined rights and remedies.

These should remain anchored in the EU AI Act mapping.

***

# 43. ISO/IEC 42001-Specific Requirements

Examples include:

* AIMS scope;
* management-system planning;
* internal-audit programme;
* management review;
* management-system continual improvement;
* ISO-specific Annex A applicability and controls.

These remain anchored in the ISO/IEC 42001 mapping.

***

# 44. NIST AI RMF-Specific Elements

Examples include:

* GOVERN;
* MAP;
* MEASURE;
* MANAGE;
* trustworthiness characteristics;
* NIST-specific profiles;
* voluntary tailoring;
* NIST implementation guidance.

These remain anchored in the NIST mapping.

NIST explicitly states that AI RMF Core actions are not a checklist or necessarily an ordered sequence.

***

# 45. Requirement Equivalence Rule

A cross-framework relationship must not be described as:

```text theme={null}
"Requirement A = Requirement B"
```

unless equivalence can be formally established.

Preferred wording:

```text theme={null}
"Both requirements are operationalized through AIGO Control X."
```

This preserves the distinction between source requirements.

***

# 46. Requirement-to-Control Relationship

The canonical relationship is:

```text theme={null}
Framework A Requirement
       ↓
AIGO Control X

Framework B Requirement
       ↓
AIGO Control X
```

not:

```text theme={null}
Framework A Requirement
       =
Framework B Requirement
```

***

# 47. Requirement-to-Evidence Relationship

Evidence should be evaluated separately:

```text theme={null}
EU Requirement
       ↓
Evidence E

ISO Requirement
       ↓
Evidence E

NIST Outcome
       ↓
Evidence E
```

The same evidence can support each relationship if sufficient.

***

# 48. Evidence Sufficiency

Potential outcomes:

```text theme={null}
SUFFICIENT
SUFFICIENT_WITH_EXTENSION
PARTIAL
INSUFFICIENT
NOT_APPLICABLE
```

Sufficiency is always relative to the source criterion.

***

# 49. Requirement-to-Assurance Relationship

Assurance should remain criterion-specific:

```text theme={null}
Requirement
 ↓
AIGO Control
 ↓
Evidence
 ↓
Framework Criteria
 ↓
Assurance
```

A single audit or assurance activity may contain multiple criteria.

***

# 50. Common-Control Gap

A common control gap occurs when:

```text theme={null}
Framework Requirement
       ↓
No adequate AIGO Control
```

This should generate:

`XFW_CONTROL_GAP`

rather than forcing an incorrect relationship.

***

# 51. Framework-Specific Gap

A framework-specific gap occurs when:

```text theme={null}
AIGO Control exists
       ↓
Framework-specific requirement remains uncovered
```

Example:

```text theme={null}
Common Governance Control
       +
EU statutory extension missing
```

This should produce:

`XFW_FRAMEWORK_SPECIFIC_GAP`

***

# 52. Cross-Framework Overlap

An overlap exists when several frameworks address materially related governance subject matter.

Examples:

* risk management;
* monitoring;
* governance;
* lifecycle;
* transparency;
* evidence.

Overlap should lead to harmonization analysis, not automatic equivalence.

***

# 53. Complementary Requirements

Complementary requirements should be retained where one framework adds something absent from another.

Example:

```text theme={null}
Common Risk Management
      +
EU statutory classification
```

The statutory element remains a framework-specific extension.

***

# 54. Conflicting Requirements

Where requirements differ materially:

```text theme={null}
Requirement A
Requirement B
      ↓
CONFLICTING
      ↓
Review
      ↓
Decision
```

The repository must preserve the original requirements and the documented resolution.

***

# 55. Version-Specific Requirement Mapping

Every mapping must identify:

* framework;
* version;
* requirement;
* AIGO mapping version;
* control version.

This allows historical reconstruction after framework changes.

***

# 56. Current NIST Version Rule

The NIST mapping currently uses AI RMF 1.0.

NIST currently states that AI RMF 1.0 is being updated. Therefore, future NIST revisions must not silently alter this v0.1 mapping.

***

# 57. Current ISO Version Rule

The ISO mapping currently uses:

`ISO/IEC 42001:2023`

ISO lists this as Edition 1, published in December 2023.

Future revisions or related standards must be separately versioned.

***

# 58. Current EU AI Act Version Rule

The EU mapping must preserve the legal source and applicable amendments.

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 was adopted on 8 July 2026 and published on 24 July 2026 as an amendment to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and other EU legislation.

The AIGO repository should therefore avoid using a generic, unversioned label such as:

`EU AI Act`

as the sole machine-readable source identifier.

***

# 59. Cross-Framework Requirement Registry

The cross-framework registry should eventually maintain:

```text theme={null}
relationshipId
frameworkId
sourceRequirementId
frameworkVersion
aigoControlId
relationshipType
applicability
priority
mappingStatus
reviewDate
```

***

# 60. Coverage Calculation

Cross-framework requirement coverage should be calculated as:

```text theme={null}
Applicable Requirements
        ↓
Mapped Requirements
        ↓
Controlled Requirements
        ↓
Implemented Requirements
        ↓
Evidenced Requirements
        ↓
Assured Requirements
```

Coverage percentages must be reported separately by framework.

***

# 61. No Universal Compliance Score

The repository must not produce a single value such as:

`97% compliant`

by simply aggregating:

* EU AI Act coverage;
* ISO coverage;
* NIST coverage.

Such a number would mix fundamentally different frameworks and criteria.

***

# 62. Framework-Specific Coverage

Instead:

```text theme={null}
EU AI Act:
Coverage by applicable legal requirement

ISO/IEC 42001:
Coverage by applicable AIMS requirement

NIST AI RMF:
Coverage by selected AI RMF outcomes
```

These results can then be presented in a consolidated management view.

***

# 63. Cross-Framework Coverage View

A management dashboard may show:

| Framework     | Requirements / Outcomes |            Controls |          Evidence |                         Assurance |
| ------------- | ----------------------: | ------------------: | ----------------: | --------------------------------: |
| EU AI Act     |      Framework-specific | Shared + extensions | Shared + specific |                 Shared + specific |
| ISO/IEC 42001 |       Management-system | Shared + extensions | Shared + specific | Internal / certification-specific |
| NIST AI RMF   |       Selected outcomes | Shared + extensions | Shared + specific |                Internal assurance |

Actual values should be generated from validated repository data.

***

# 64. Management Use

The cross-framework requirements mapping should enable management to identify:

* common governance obligations;
* framework-specific obligations;
* resource concentration;
* duplicated activities;
* evidence reuse;
* assurance reuse;
* unresolved conflicts;
* regulatory exposure.

***

# 65. Implementation Boundary

This document identifies relationships.

Detailed implementation instructions remain in:

```text theme={null}
framework/
guidance/
mappings/<framework>/
```

The common procedures and templates remain in the AIGO guidance layer.

***

# 66. Control Boundary

Detailed control definitions remain in the AIGO Control Schema and control architecture.

This document identifies which source requirements may be operationalized through those controls.

***

# 67. Evidence Boundary

Detailed evidence definitions remain in:

```text theme={null}
schemas/10-evidence/
```

and:

```text theme={null}
guidance/03-templates/
```

The cross-framework requirements mapping identifies evidence relationships only at the framework-integration level.

***

# 68. Assurance Boundary

Detailed assurance methodology remains in the framework-specific assurance mappings and the AIGO Assurance Schema.

This document identifies requirements that may share assurance infrastructure.

***

# 69. Validation Requirements

The cross-framework requirements mapping must pass:

```text theme={null}
Framework Source Validation
Requirement Reference Validation
Version Validation
Applicability Validation
Control Reference Validation
Traceability Validation
Conflict Detection
Coverage Validation
Framework Consistency
Document Integrity
Repository Health
```

***

# 70. Potential Findings

Potential findings include:

```text theme={null}
XFW_REQUIREMENT_UNMAPPED
XFW_CONTROL_GAP
XFW_FRAMEWORK_SPECIFIC_GAP
XFW_APPLICABILITY_GAP
XFW_VERSION_GAP
XFW_SOURCE_CONFLICT
XFW_TRACEABILITY_GAP
XFW_EVIDENCE_GAP
XFW_ASSURANCE_GAP
XFW_FALSE_EQUIVALENCE
```

***

# 71. Critical Finding — False Equivalence

A particularly important v1 validation rule is:

> A source requirement must never be marked satisfied solely because another framework has a similar requirement mapped to the same AIGO control.

Example:

```text theme={null}
EU requirement
      ↓
AIGO Control A

NIST outcome
      ↓
AIGO Control A
```

does not prove:

```text theme={null}
EU requirement = NIST outcome
```

The control is shared; the requirements remain distinct.

***

# 72. Critical Finding — Missing Extension

Where a common control lacks a legally required framework-specific extension:

```text theme={null}
Common Control
      +
Required EU Extension
      ✗
```

the relationship must be considered incomplete for that source requirement.

***

# 73. Critical Finding — Evidence Reuse Error

If the same evidence is reused across frameworks but does not satisfy the criteria of one framework:

`XFW_EVIDENCE_GAP`

must be generated for that relationship.

***

# 74. Critical Finding — Assurance Reuse Error

If an assurance conclusion is copied between frameworks without evaluating the separate criteria:

`XFW_ASSURANCE_GAP`

or:

`XFW_FALSE_EQUIVALENCE`

should be raised.

***

# 75. Critical Finding — Version Conflict

If:

```text theme={null}
Source Requirement → version A
Registry → version B
Mapping → version C
```

the repository has a:

`XFW_VERSION_GAP`

until the relationship is reconciled.

***

# 76. Final Cross-Framework Requirement Chain

The intended chain is:

```text theme={null}
Framework
      ↓
Requirement
      ↓
Applicability
      ↓
AIGO Governance Objective
      ↓
AIGO Common Control
      ↓
Framework-Specific Extension
      ↓
Process
      ↓
Evidence
      ↓
Monitoring
      ↓
Assurance
      ↓
Finding
      ↓
Improvement
```

***

# 77. Final Requirement-Harmonization Principle

The AIGO cross-framework requirements layer follows one governing principle:

> **Harmonize operational implementation, not the underlying requirements.**

AIGO should provide one coherent operating architecture where possible, while preserving the separate:

* legal requirements;
* standards requirements;
* voluntary framework outcomes;
* applicability rules;
* evidence criteria;
* assurance criteria;
* version histories.
