The EU AI Act to NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) controls your existing EU AI Act work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
Coverage does not run both ways. EU AI Act into NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) lands at 66.7%, while NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) into EU AI Act lands at 25.6%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your EU AI Act evidence buys you for NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0), the other asks the reverse.
48 of 72 NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) controls are evidenced by work you have already done for EU AI Act. 24 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
The recorded high-risk determination per system is documented understanding of which legal regime binds it.
Grounded in EUAI-Art.6 Classification rules for high-risk AI systems. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Ongoing monitoring and periodic review of the risk management process and its outcomes are planned, organizational roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, including determining the frequency of periodic review. Monitoring and...
Every one of the 48 evidenced controls and 24 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
11 of 43 EU AI Act controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0). 32 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Documented data collection and selection with representativeness and suitability is the data governance limb.
Grounded in AIRMF-MP-2.3 Scientific integrity and TEVV considerations are identified and documented, including those related to experimental design, data collection and selection, system trustworthiness, and construct validation. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Technical documentation for a high-risk AI system shall be drawn up before the system is placed on the market or put into service and kept up to date. It shall be drawn up in such a way as to demonstrate that the high-risk AI system...
Every one of the 11 evidenced controls and 32 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 56% in the header counts how many EU AI Act controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.
