Disclaimer

This is a preliminary self-assessment of management system maturity. It is not an audit and does not certify conformity. Real audit readiness requires independent evidence review by a qualified certification body.

What this tool covers

Twenty-five questions across the seven management system clauses.

Clause 4 — Context and scope

Internal and external issues, interested parties, and the documented boundaries of the AI management system.

Clause 5 — Leadership

Top-management commitment, AI policy, and named ownership across the management system.

Clause 6 — Planning

AI risk assessment, AI impact assessment, treatment decisions, and measurable objectives.

Clause 7 — Support

Resources, competence, awareness, communication, and the documented information regime.

Clause 8 — Operation

Operational risk assessment, treatment, impact assessment, and lifecycle controls across in-scope AI systems.

Clauses 9 and 10 — Evaluation and improvement

Monitoring, internal audit, management review, nonconformity handling, and corrective action.

Annex A controls are intentionally out of scope. This tool focuses on the management system clauses that auditors evaluate first.

Ten minutes. A defensible scorecard. A roadmap you can act on.
