Why AI needs its own governance track

Model risk is not application risk.

Traditional application security assumes a deterministic system, a documented data flow, and a threat model whose actors are outside the code. Generative AI systems break all three assumptions — model outputs are non-deterministic, training data flows are opaque, and the “actor” can be a prompt embedded inside the very content the system is reading. Governance has to catch up.

01

ISO/IEC 42001

The AI management-system standard — the ISO 27001 counterpart for AI. Skymeba runs lead-implementer engagements end to end: scope, context, controls, evidence.

02

NIST AI RMF

The Govern-Map-Measure-Manage risk framework mapped to the SA&A artifacts a Government of Canada team already produces — so AI risk lives inside the SSP, not beside it.

03

AI project SA&A

Categorization, TRA, SSP, and SRTM tuned for AI systems — model-risk appendix, data-lineage attestations, and inheritance from platform ATOs where they apply.

Working with Skymeba on AI

Where governance meets the engagement.

Every AI engagement is scoped from a concrete outcome — an ISO 42001 certificate, a board-ready risk register, an assessor-defensible SA&A package for an AI project — and delivered on a fixed statement of work.
