AI Governance
Govern your AI, without starting from a blank page
AI moved into your product and your customers’ questionnaires faster than any framework did. Keel gives you a place to start today, for free, and a clean path to the formal standards when a customer, a board, or a regulator asks.
Start with AI Governance Essentials
A Keel-authored baseline of 34 plain-language expectations across eight areas, governance, risk and impact, data, transparency, human oversight, security, lifecycle, and third parties. Put it in place, evidence it, and you already have a running start on the formal standards below.

One control library underneath all of them, so the work you do for one counts toward the others.

AI Governance Essentials Free
A Keel-authored baseline for responsible-AI governance - plain-language expectations across governance, risk, data, transparency, human oversight, security, lifecycle, and third parties, ready to evidence today and later map to a formal AI standard.
-
ISO/IEC 42001 Premium
AI Management System (AIMS) - governance for responsible development and use of AI. Management clauses 4-10 plus the Annex A reference controls (nine objective groups).
-
NIST AI Risk Management Framework Core plans
Voluntary framework for managing AI risks, organized around the Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage functions, modeled to the seventy-two subcategories of the Core.
-
EU AI Act Premium
EU regulation on artificial intelligence (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), setting obligations by risk tier: prohibited practices, high-risk requirements and obligations, transparency, and general-purpose AI models.
How they fit together
- AI Governance Essentials (free) is the on-ramp: prove you have responsible-AI basics in place, evidence them, and reuse that evidence everywhere.
- ISO/IEC 42001 is the certifiable management system when you need an audited program, the AI companion to ISO 27001.
- NIST AI RMF is the voluntary US reference: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage, flexible and public-domain.
- EU AI Act is the law if you serve the EU: it tells you which risk tier your AI falls into and what that triggers.
