AI Governance Methodology for Evidence Mapping

Move78 turns AI governance frameworks into editable implementation evidence: inventories, control matrices, policy files, vendor diligence records, risk registers, FRIA starter materials, agentic AI control boundaries, and board reporting packs.

Evidence-firstFramework mappedEditable artifactsNo compliance guarantee

Methodology position

Move78 does not sell legal conclusions. It sells a practical artifact system for teams that need to classify, map, document, assign, review, and retain AI governance evidence.

Boundary: Move78 ACT materials support internal governance implementation. They do not replace counsel, auditors, regulators, certifying bodies, penetration testers, security tools, data protection officers, or formal conformity assessment where required.

How framework requirements become evidence artifacts

The methodology converts regulatory and framework language into fields, decisions, owners, and evidence objects. The output is a working file structure, not a theoretical slide deck.

Evidence objects used across Move78 ACT

Inventory

AI system register

Records AI systems, owners, vendors, use cases, data sensitivity, deployment status, and evidence gaps.

Control

Unified control matrix

Maps governance expectations into normalized controls that can be owned, tested, reviewed, and evidenced.

Risk

AI risk register

Links risks to owners, mitigations, evidence, status, and review cadence.

Vendor

AI vendor diligence

Structures procurement and security questions before approving AI systems or AI-enabled suppliers.

Agentic AI

MCP and agent control records

Captures tool permissions, identity scope, escalation rules, human override, and incident/shutdown triggers.

Executive

Board reporting pack

Converts technical and compliance evidence into decision-ready executive reporting.

Claim control rules

  • No claim of guaranteed compliance, safe harbor, certification, or regulator acceptance.
  • No unsupported claim of being the best, only, most complete, or market-leading solution.
  • No legal conclusion about whether a buyer is a provider, deployer, developer, or covered entity.
  • No claim that a template alone satisfies ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, NIST AI RMF, or security requirements.
  • All buyer-specific legal, tax, privacy, cross-border, and regulatory positions should be reviewed by qualified professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does the Move78 methodology guarantee compliance?

No. The Move78 methodology organizes governance evidence and implementation artifacts. It does not provide legal advice, certification, conformity assessment, regulatory approval, audit assurance, or safe harbor. The methodology is useful when a team needs a defensible structure for inventory, risk, controls, ownership, and evidence.

What source materials does the methodology use?

The methodology uses public regulatory and framework source materials, including Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, NIST AI 600-1, OWASP Agentic AI guidance, and Colorado AI Act materials. Source interpretation should be reviewed by qualified professionals where legal, tax, audit, or regulatory reliance is required.

How are frameworks mapped into artifacts?

Frameworks are mapped into evidence objects that teams can actually maintain: inventory fields, risk records, owner assignments, policy clauses, control matrices, vendor questions, evidence trackers, incident records, and board reporting items. The goal is practical traceability, not decorative framework coverage.

How should buyers use the methodology?

Buyers should use the methodology to adapt the files to their organization, assign internal owners, document decisions, retain evidence, and maintain version history. The methodology works best when it is reviewed against real AI systems, real vendors, real data flows, and the organization’s actual risk appetite.

Why does Move78 use an evidence-first approach?

Move78 uses an evidence-first approach because governance without records is not operational control. Policies matter, but buyers, auditors, boards, and customers usually ask for evidence: what exists, who owns it, what risk was accepted, what control operates, and where the review history is kept.
