AI Governance Essentials · 1.0
AI Governance Essentials is Keel’s free, plain-language baseline for governing AI responsibly. It gives you 34 practical expectations across eight areas (governance, risk and impact, data, transparency, human oversight, security, lifecycle, and third parties) that you can put in place and evidence today, then map to a formal standard when you need one.
Who needs AI Governance Essentials?
- Teams that started using or building with AI and need a governance starting point
- Companies fielding "how do you govern AI?" questions from customers and boards
- Anyone who wants a running start on ISO 42001, the NIST AI RMF, or the EU AI Act
How Keel helps with AI Governance Essentials
- A free, ready-to-use control set of 34 responsible-AI expectations, on every plan
- Evidence collected once and reused across your other frameworks
- A live readiness score, and a clean on-ramp to ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act
Collect once, comply everywhere
AI Governance Essentials shares its DNA with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the other frameworks Keel supports. Implement a control once and it counts toward every framework it satisfies, so adding AI Governance Essentials rarely means starting from scratch.
