AI Governance Essentials
Anchored on ISO/IEC 42001 · Incorporates EU AI Act
The free Community framework: the essentials of AI governance in about 30 controls, from the AI Governance framework. Core edition, free with APEX Community.
The standard tells you what is required; this framework tells you how to do it, whether you've done enough to certify, and how to keep getting better.
What you get
One workbook, the same structure as every DP Frameworks framework.
The free Community framework: the Core edition, at no cost, with an APEX Community account.
- The framework workbook: Principles → Capabilities → Requirements → Controls, with implementation guidance on every control
- Maturity criteria 0–5 and a certification threshold on every control
- The framework as a designed PDF, and a two-page summary
- Source mapping and a clause-coverage map for every certification profile
- README, changelog and the Organisation Licence
A free sample, the summary and the first capability, will be here when the framework is published. The Professional edition includes the APEX import file, so the framework loads straight into the APEX Governance Platform. Framework purchases made within 12 months are credited in full against your first year of APEX Business or Enterprise.
