ISO/IEC 23894

In one sentence

ISO's AI-specific risk-management guidance — an AI overlay on ISO 31000 (general risk management). Companion to ISO/IEC 42001.

What it adds

23894 doesn't define a management system (42001 does). It gives the program a shared risk vocabulary: identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, monitoring — applied to AI-specific risks (data, model, deployment, third-party).

Regulus bindings

Clause Regulus mechanism
CL-6.3 (identify) model-risk-tier
CL-6.4 (analyse) model-risk-tier
CL-6.6 (treat) dual-control-kill-switch
CL-6.7 (monitor) audit-trail + observability

When to activate

When your program already uses ISO 31000 and you want the AI-specific overlay. Typically alongside iso-42001:

    frameworks: [iso-42001, iso-23894]
