Standards mapping

CSA AI Controls Matrix (AICM) mapped to our controls

Every AICM control ID with a one-line topic in our own words and how AutoGovern's anchor controls (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A, EU AI Act) cover it. Read the official standard for the requirement text.

At a glance

247 IDs: 17 full mapping · 75 partial · 155 not covered by our anchors · 18 disputed between our analysts.

AICM 1.1 (1.1.1 patch, same 247 IDs). AICM 1.1.0 was released on 22 June 2026; the 1.1.1 patch (13 July 2026) keeps the same 247 control IDs. Cite as AICM 1.1.1 <ID>. Researched on 2026-10-16.

Whose IDs, whose words

Control and requirement IDs belong to the Cloud Security Alliance (AICM) and the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company (AIUC-1). Descriptions and mappings are AutoGovern's own; read the official standard for the requirement text.

Official pages: CSA AI Controls Matrix (AICM) v1.1 · AIUC-1 · the AIUC-1 standard

Two analysts mapped every item independently to the anchor controls; on disagreement the lower strength and the union of anchor controls were kept, and the item is marked disputed. This is AutoGovern's analysis, not an official CSA or AIUC crosswalk. "Not covered" means our AI-governance anchor controls do not address the item (most cloud-infrastructure controls). It does not mean an organization fails it.
