A customer's CISO wants to see your AI risk management mapped to the NIST AI RMF. How do you operationalize it?

NIST AI RMF is voluntary, which is exactly why a CISO uses it as a shared yardstick. The strong answer turns Govern, Map, Measure, Manage into artifacts you already produce, and uses the Generative AI Profile to name the LLM-specific risks the core framework leaves abstract.

FEDITOR'S NOTE

The failure here is reciting Govern/Map/Measure/Manage as four words and stopping, because the CISO wants to see your existing artifacts (risk register, eval results, audit trail, red-team metrics) mapped onto the functions. The senior move is pairing the core with the Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1) so you can name confabulation, data privacy, information security, and human-AI configuration as the GenAI-specific risks, then showing Measure as your eval and red-team metrics rather than a policy document. Be clear it is a framework, not a certification, so the deliverable is a mapped gap analysis, not a certificate.
