NIST AI Risk Management Framework: a Senserva crosswalk

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) is a voluntary US framework for managing the risks of AI systems across their lifecycle. It is organized around four functions, Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage, and is paired with a Generative AI profile that adapts those functions to large language models and assistants like Microsoft Copilot.

Senserva is not the framework and does not implement it for you. The framework is broader than any tool: it covers people, process, and policy. What Senserva supplies is the Microsoft technical layer, an inventory of the AI you run in Microsoft 365, Intune, Defender, and Entra ID, ranked findings against it, and proof that fixes were made.

The four functions, briefly

The AI RMF is meant to be used iteratively. Govern is the throughline that holds the other three together. The Generative AI profile sits on top, calling out risks specific to generative systems such as data leakage, confabulation, and prompt injection.

Function What it asks for
GovernA culture of AI risk management: policies, roles, accountability, and oversight that cut across everything else.
MapEstablish the context: identify the AI systems in use, their purpose, and the risks they carry.
MeasureAssess, analyze, and track the identified risks using repeatable methods and metrics.
ManagePrioritize and act on the risks, treat them, and monitor that the treatment holds.

Map and Measure are where teams stall, because both need real data about the AI actually running in the environment. That is exactly the gap Senserva fills on the Microsoft side.

How Senserva supports each function

Senserva is not a governance program in a box. It is the instrument that gives each function current, Microsoft-side evidence, so the framework is grounded in what your tenant really looks like rather than in assumptions.

Govern
Senserva's responsible-AI posture (local execution, your model, approve-before-apply) and its tracking of governance controls give you policy evidence to point to.
Map
It enumerates Microsoft agent identity blueprints, agent identities and users, and the Copilot surface, with the context of what each can reach.
Measure
Ranked findings, deterministic high-risk Graph scope detection, and audit-log monitoring signal give you repeatable measures of AI risk.
Manage
Validated, approve-before-apply remediation treats the risk, and the next scan is proof the treatment took.

Crosswalk: AI RMF function to Senserva

Use this as a starting map. Senserva covers the Microsoft technical layer of each function. Your program supplies the rest.

AI RMF function How Senserva supports it
GovernPolicy and responsible-AI evidence: tracked governance controls (approved models, content filtering, human in the loop), plus a tool that runs locally with your own model and approves every change before applying it.
MapAn AI and agent inventory with context: blueprints, agent identities and users, inheritable permissions, and the access posture that defines reach.
MeasureFindings ranked by real-world risk, deterministic detection of high-risk Microsoft Graph scopes on agents, and audit-log health as a monitoring signal.
ManageValidated remediation, applied only after human approval, with scheduled re-scans that prove a risk was actually resolved.

Pair the framework with a standard you can certify against

The AI RMF is deliberately voluntary and outcome-based. If you want a management system you can be assessed against, ISO/IEC 42001 is the natural companion, and Senserva's evidence maps to both. Run a scan, see your AI inventory, and start the crosswalk from real data.
