Phase 1 - Gap Analysis

Prepare Your Organization for NIST AI RMF Alignment with Clarity and Confidence

Key Outcomes:

• Understand the NIST AI RMF structure, functions, and implementation tiers

• Define your organization’s AI roles, systems, and governance boundaries

• Conduct an initial risk and readiness assessment using Shpil.ai

• Secure executive awareness and cross-functional buy-in

Summary:
Every responsible AI initiative begins with understanding. This phase establishes a foundation for NIST AI RMF implementation by clarifying the framework’s core functions (Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage) and evaluating how your organization currently identifies and manages AI risks. Through a structured readiness and gap analysis, we illuminate strengths, weaknesses, and the steps required for alignment.

In Depth:
We begin by mapping your AI ecosystem — determining where your organization operates as a developer, deployer, or user of AI systems — and defining governance and accountability boundaries. Using Shpil.ai, our proprietary risk analysis platform, we assess your current AI risk posture against the NIST AI RMF’s key functions and categories. The deliverable is a Readiness and Gap Analysis Report with a detailed Action Plan, linking each identified gap to practical next steps toward trustworthy AI practices.

This phase also emphasizes executive engagement and stakeholder alignment, ensuring leadership understands the value of adopting the NIST AI RMF as a strategic enabler of responsible innovation, trust, and resilience.
