Govern AI like everything else you govern.
AI systems bring new risks but need the same discipline: an inventory, assessments, owners, and evidence. TruOps runs AI governance on the engine you already use.

- 02youAssessRun NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001 questionnaires.

AI governance in TruOps treats AI systems as assessable targets: scope an assessment to an AI system or process, run a NIST AI RMF or ISO/IEC 42001 questionnaire with pre-filled, cited answers, record AI risks in the same register as everything else, and reuse controls you already run for ISO 27001 or SOC 2.
- AI is shipping and governance is a policy
- You do not want a second GRC for AI
- Vendors' AI features are unassessed
The problem
AI adoption moves faster than governance, and AI risk often ends up in a separate spreadsheet disconnected from the rest of the program.
The actual challenge
AI systems are assessable targets: inventory, owners, NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001, risks on the same register. A second GRC for AI is how the program splits. TruOps does not replace model-risk or responsible-AI specialist tools you already run for model validation.
- The policy exists. The system inventory does not.
- ISO 27001 controls are assumed to cover 42001 without a map.
- Vendor AI features ride in on a SOC 2 that never mentioned them.
Bring one real document. Watch the program get set up from it.
What you are probably using today
AI governance is being stood up in slideware, a new vendor, or a copy of the ISO 27001 spreadsheet.
| What you use now | Where it breaks | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheets, shared drives, and email | The program lives in folders named after last year's audit. Owners paste screenshots the week before fieldwork. Nothing is dated, so you cannot show what was true last quarter. | Upload those same files. TruOps pre-fills the assessment from them, cites every answer, and keeps technical checks running so evidence exists for the whole period. |
| A consultant-built binder | The program was true the week the engagement ended. Surveillance, a new framework, or an acquisition and it is stale. | The binder becomes a living program: recurring assessments that pre-fill, controls checked from your tools, findings that stay owned. |
| Point tools that do not talk | A TPRM portal here, a risk register there, findings in the ticketing tool, the board pack in slides. Each is true in its own world. Leadership gets three answers. | One assessment engine, one evidence layer, one register. A document uploaded once, an answer given once, or a control checked once counts everywhere it applies. |
How it works in TruOps
- InventoryRecord AI systems and their owners as scopes.
- AssessRun NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001 questionnaires.
- ReuseSee which existing controls already cover AI requirements.
- RegisterTrack AI risks alongside security and vendor risk.
- MonitorReassess on a schedule and when systems change.
What you end up with
- An AI system inventory with owners.
- AI risks in the enterprise register.
- Evidence for customers asking about your AI.
If this is your situation
Bring the AI system list or the policy. TruOps will scope an assessment — on the same engine as the rest of GRC, not a side product.
How TruOps helps
- Framework-ready
- NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
- Vendor AI
- Assess third parties' AI use through the vendor portal.
Questions
Which AI frameworks does TruOps support?
The NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, plus your own AI policy as a custom framework.
Do we have to rip out the tools we already use?
No. Connectors are read-only: they observe cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, and code tools; they do not change them. Spreadsheets, prior reports, and policies upload into the Data Room. If you are on a SOC 2 automation tool or an enterprise GRC suite, you migrate the program (frameworks, evidence, vendors, risks), not the business.
Can we bring our existing assessments, control lists, and vendor files?
Yes. Upload workbooks, reports, policies, and vendor exports. TruOps turns them into structured questionnaires, controls, and register entries, each cited back to the file they came from, for you to review.
See it run on your own data.
Thirty minutes with a GRC expert, not an SDR. Bring one real document (a SOC 2 report, a risk register, a vendor list; redacted is fine) and watch TruOps set up a live program from it, with an assessment already pre-filled.
