Description
The Model Risk Management Framework gives your organisation a structured way to identify, validate, and monitor the risk sitting inside every AI and ML model in use — from third-party tools to internally built systems — before a bad model decision becomes a bad business decision.
Built to the standard a Big-4 advisor would deliver, this editable Word document is aligned to ISO 42001 and the NIST AI RMF‘s model-risk expectations, and complements your AI Governance Framework and Risk Register.
What’s included
- Fully editable Word document (.docx)
- Model inventory, validation, and ongoing monitoring requirements
- Risk tiering by model impact and criticality
- Aligned to ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF
Who it’s for
Compliance officers, CTOs, and risk teams who need a defensible, board-ready model risk framework without building one from scratch.
Key features of this model risk management framework
Most organisations can name the AI tools they use, but few can say which ones have actually been validated, how often they’re monitored, or what happens when a model starts drifting. This framework fixes that with a structured inventory, validation process, and risk tiering — so oversight scales with how much a model’s decisions actually matter.
It’s built to work as the connective layer between your AI Governance Framework and Risk Register: models get tiered by criticality here, and that tiering feeds directly into what level of review and monitoring each one receives.
Unlike a generic risk register, this framework is scoped to the specific mechanics of model risk — validation cadence, performance drift, and retraining triggers — that a standard enterprise risk template doesn’t cover.
Frequently asked questions
What file format is this in?
A fully editable Microsoft Word (.docx) document, ready to add your branding.
Does this cover third-party AI tools as well as internally built models?
Yes — the framework covers both, with the same inventory and tiering approach applied to each.
Can I adapt the risk tiers to my organisation?
Yes. The document is fully editable, so tiers and monitoring cadence can be adjusted to match your risk appetite.
