Introducing the HITRUST AI Risk Management Assessment: Your Comprehensive Solution for Evaluating AI Governance

AI has rapidly become a cornerstone of modern innovation, transforming industries and creating opportunities. However, these advancements can give rise to significant risks and challenges that organizations must address to ensure the safe and ethical use of AI. It is essential for organizations to establish a robust risk management program as threats evolve.

The challenge: Navigating AI risks

Organizations face a daunting task when it comes to managing AI risks. The landscape is complex with standards like ISO/IEC 23894:2023 and NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) that are lengthy and difficult to harmonize. These critical standards span thousands of pages and require significant effort to understand and implement. Moreover, AI development outpaces the speed at which standards bodies adapt.

Businesses must select, implement, and maintain appropriate controls for safe AI use. They should assess their effectiveness and continuously update their risk management programs to keep pace with new developments. The stakes are high as failure can lead to regulatory challenges, legal consequences, operational disruptions, and loss of stakeholder trust.
