The AI Risk Management and Assurance Methodology

AI risk management starts with principles, frameworks, and standards. What organisations need next is a practical way to apply them to real AI systems. AIQURIS provides a structured methodology that connects AI use cases to real-world impact, risk, and control. It is designed to support confident deployment decisions, grounded in evidence and aligned with how AI is actually built and used.

Hundreds of AI frameworks, standards, and guidelines already exist.

The problem isn’t a lack of guidance. The problem is that most approaches don’t translate concrete AI use cases into operational risk and executable controls in a consistent way.

AIQURIS in Practice

 

AI risk is not theoretical. It comes from real systems, used by real people, in real environments.

The AIQURIS methodology starts with the AI use case and moves through impact, risk, and control. For each use case, we identify concrete risks across safety, security, legal and compliance, performance, ethics, and sustainability. These risks are then linked directly to governance, process, and technical controls.

 

Regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal policies are translated into clear, executable requirements that apply inside AI systems.  This enables consistent and repeatable AI risk management across real-world deployments, without adding unnecessary overhead.

1

Define System Context

We define the AI application, its purpose, and the operating conditions that shape its risk profile, such as decision automation, customer-facing use, or regulated environments.

2

Map Potential Impact

We identify who or what is affected, how they are impacted, and the potential severity of harm, including impact on individuals, business operations, or regulatory exposure.

3

Determine Risk Profile

We determine the risk level for the specific use case based on impact severity and operational context. This results in a clear classification, such as low, medium, or high risk, depending on deployment conditions.

4

Specify Controls

We translate regulatory obligations, standards, and internal policies into clear requirements. These are mapped to governance, process, and technical controls that address the identified risks, such as oversight, monitoring, and access controls.

5

Assess and Assure

We assess how well the requirements are implemented, identify gaps, and produce evidence to support deployment and assurance decisions. This gives a clear view of residual risk, including control status, documentation, and audit-ready artefacts.

 

The result? AI risk becomes concrete, measurable, and controllable, with a clear basis for assurance.

One flow. End-to-end control.

AI risk management fails when activities are fragmented.


AIQURIS connects the full chain of decision-making into a single operational flow. From defining the use case to producing evidence that supports executive decisions and assurance.


We bring together AI use cases, real-world impacts, risk assessment, technical and organisational controls, and evidence into one coherent process. This allows teams to focus on what matters, close gaps efficiently, and manage residual risk within the organisation’s risk appetite.

Works with existing frameworks

You don’t need to replace what you already use.

 

Our platform integrates your regulatory obligations, standards, 

and internal frameworks into one coherent structure, turning guidance 

into action at the use-case level.

From Testing to True AI Assurance

Testing alone is never enough. It shows what can be measured, but not whether results are acceptable in context. AIQURIS defines what to test, who should run the tests, and how results should be interpreted for each AI use case.

 

We work with trusted testing partners, so organisations are not left navigating fragmented tools or unclear outcomes. By linking frameworks, testing, and context, we deliver actionable AI assurance.
