AIGO — ISO/IEC 42001 Master Mapping

AIGO — AI Governance Operating Framework

Version: 0.1
Status: Draft
Working Name: AIGO
Full Name: AI Governance Operating Framework
Document Identifier: AIGO-MAP-ISO42001-001
Mapping Standard: ISO/IEC 42001
Mapping Type: Master Framework Mapping

1. Purpose

This document defines the master mapping relationship between the AIGO AI Governance Operating Framework and ISO/IEC 42001. The purpose of this document is to establish a structured relationship between the AIGO framework architecture and the ISO/IEC 42001 AI management system. The master mapping provides the foundation for more detailed mappings covering:
  • ISO/IEC 42001 requirements;
  • AI management controls;
  • AI lifecycle;
  • AI risk management;
  • governance;
  • evidence;
  • implementation; and
  • organizational alignment.

2. Scope

This mapping covers the relationship between the AIGO framework and ISO/IEC 42001 at an architectural and conceptual level. The mapping considers:
  • AIGO framework components;
  • ISO/IEC 42001 management-system requirements;
  • ISO/IEC 42001 AI management controls;
  • AI governance;
  • AI risk management;
  • AI lifecycle management;
  • monitoring;
  • assurance;
  • continual improvement; and
  • implementation support.
This document does not reproduce the ISO/IEC 42001 standard.

3. Mapping Objectives

The mapping has the following objectives:
  1. Establish traceability between AIGO and ISO/IEC 42001.
  2. Demonstrate how AIGO supports an AI management system.
  3. Identify areas of direct and supporting alignment.
  4. Identify areas requiring organizational implementation.
  5. Provide a foundation for detailed mapping documents.
  6. Support implementation planning.
  7. Support gap assessment.
  8. Support assurance and audit preparation.
  9. Support future AIGO-to-standard mappings.
  10. Maintain a consistent external-reference architecture.

4. Mapping Principles

4.1 Traceability

Every material mapping should be traceable from an ISO/IEC 42001 requirement or control to one or more AIGO components.

4.2 No Standard Reproduction

The AIGO repository should not reproduce copyrighted ISO/IEC 42001 text. Mappings should use:
  • clause references;
  • control identifiers where appropriate;
  • short descriptions;
  • paraphrased relationships; and
  • AIGO references.

4.3 Framework Independence

AIGO remains an independent governance framework. Alignment with ISO/IEC 42001 should not make AIGO dependent on ISO/IEC 42001.

4.4 Risk-Based Alignment

Mapping should consider the risk-based nature of AI governance and the proportional application of governance requirements.

4.5 Implementation Traceability

Where appropriate, a mapping should connect the external requirement to:
  • AIGO framework components;
  • implementation guidance;
  • procedures;
  • controls;
  • records;
  • evidence; and
  • improvement activities.

5. Mapping Relationship Types

The following relationship types are used throughout the AIGO ISO/IEC 42001 mapping.

5.1 Direct

AIGO explicitly addresses the intent of the ISO/IEC 42001 requirement.

5.2 Supporting

AIGO provides governance capabilities that support implementation of the ISO/IEC 42001 requirement.

5.3 Partial

AIGO addresses part of the requirement, while additional organizational implementation is necessary.

5.4 Complementary

AIGO provides additional governance capabilities that extend beyond the corresponding ISO/IEC 42001 requirement.

5.5 Organizational Implementation

AIGO provides a framework capability, but the organization must establish and operate the required management-system activity.

5.6 Gap

AIGO does not currently provide sufficient coverage and additional framework development or organizational implementation may be required.

6. AIGO Framework Architecture

The AIGO framework consists of nine primary framework components.

7. AIGO Supporting Architecture

The AIGO repository also contains supporting implementation and operational components.

8. ISO/IEC 42001 Mapping Architecture

The AIGO mapping architecture separates the ISO/IEC 42001 relationship into multiple layers.
