Stop Guessing. Start Executing AI Governance That Passes Federal Audits.
The DoD just retired the RMF. OMB M-25-21 demands AI risk management NOW. Your competitors are scrambling. You have the blueprint they don't: the only framework integrating CPMAI v7, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the new CSRMC into one executable operating model.
You're Caught in the Pincer Movement
Innovation Mandate
Executive orders demand AI adoption. Your competitors are deploying. Global adversaries are advancing. The DoD requested $13.4 billion for AI/Autonomy in FY2026 alone.
Stand still and you lose contracts. Move fast without governance and you fail audits.
Compliance Barrier
OMB M-24-10 and M-25-21 mandate minimum risk practices for "rights-impacting" and "safety-impacting" AI. The DoD's CSRMC replaces static RMF with continuous monitoring.
The detailed implementation guides? They don't exist publicly yet.
The Market Reality: 74% of companies are stuck in "Pilot Purgatory". They cannot scale AI because they lack governance infrastructure to prove safety and ROI. Only 2% of organizations are considered "ready" for enterprise AI governance.
The CSRMC Vacuum: A $4.8 Billion Problem With No Solution
In September 2025, the Pentagon admitted the old Risk Management Framework was "overly reliant on static checklists and manual processes that failed to account for operational needs." They announced the Cybersecurity Risk Management Construct (CSRMC) as the replacement—demanding automation, continuous monitoring, and cyber resilience.
But here's the crisis: contractors are told WHAT to do (automate, monitor continuously) but not HOW to do it. The market is waiting for implementation guidance that bridges commercial agility with federal compliance. That guidance doesn't exist… until now.

Why Generic Solutions Fail Defense Contractors
Big 4 Consultancies
What They Provide: Multimillion-dollar bespoke transformations. "We'll build it for you."
The Problem: Slow, expensive, theoretically heavy but practically light. They sell strategy, not operating manuals. They hoard knowledge to bill hours.
Software Vendors
What They Provide: OneTrust, Credo AI, IBM watsonx. Platforms that automate governance.
The Problem: A tool is not a process. They assume you already have governance logic to automate. Many implementations fail because they automate chaos.
Government Guides
What They Provide: Free PDFs from NIST, white papers from think tanks.
The Problem: Descriptive, not prescriptive. NIST says "map risks" but doesn't provide the exact meaning, agenda, or artifact template.
"The detailed CSRMC implementation guides don't exist publicly yet. Contractors know they need continuous monitoring and lifecycle management, but they lack the tactical playbooks to implement them."
Introducing: The Enterprise AI Governance & Lifecycle Management Framework
This is not a manifesto of abstract ethics. This is an engineering-grade operating manual that translates the ambiguity of "responsible AI" into the concrete language of federal acquisition, defense engineering, and program management.
Single Source of Truth
Unifies data scientists (F1 scores), legal teams (liability), and security teams (firewalls) under one operational cadence. Solves the "many masters" problem for contractors satisfying NIST, ISO, and mission-specific metrics simultaneously.
Four-Standard Integration
Harmonizes ISO/IEC 42001 (certifiable management system), NIST AI RMF (risk engine), CPMAI v7 (execution methodology), and DoD CSRMC (operational reality) into one coherent workflow.
Continuous Compliance
Shifts from "snapshot-in-time" audits to continuous assurance through Automated Evidence Packages (AEP) and Continuous Compliance Validation (CCV), directly mirroring CSRMC strategic intent.
Artifact-Driven Value
Identifies specific deliverables: Mission Risk Profile (MRP), Reciprocity & Inheritance Register, Automated Control Validation Ruleset (ACVR), Cyber Resilience Posture Report (CRPR).
Seamless Integration With Your Existing Governance Structure
Our framework integrates directly into your existing governance programs, eliminating the need for separate tracking systems. It reduces overhead by working within your current compliance infrastructure, seamlessly mapping to CPMAI phases, NIST controls, and CSRMC requirements without creating parallel workflows. Compliance evidence is generated as a natural byproduct of existing development activities, enhancing your current processes to support automation and reciprocity tenets.
Direct Program Integration
Works within your existing authorization platform, not alongside it. This ensures continuous assurance and direct alignment with your established workflows.
Unified Evidence Generation
Compliance data flows directly from your current development pipeline, transforming evidence collection from a separate activity into an embedded process within your existing tooling.
Control Inheritance Mapping
Leverages controls you've already validated across programs. Our framework identifies and maps inherited controls, significantly reducing redundant authorization efforts.
Zero Redundancy Design
Eliminates duplicate documentation and out-of-sync artifacts by enhancing what's already in place, ensuring a single source of truth for all compliance requirements.

Who This Framework Saves
Program Managers
Your Reality: You have a mandate to "add AI" to a winning proposal but don't know how to price the risk. You're terrified of failing a CMMC or CSRMC audit that would disqualify you from revenue. You're drowning in conflicting requirements from different agencies.
What You Get: A structured approach that maps to your existing proposal artifacts and project documentation. Integration guidance that works within your current compliance workflows. A vocabulary to defend your schedule and budget. Speed to contract award and reduced rework.
Risk Officers / CISOs
Your Reality: The Board is asking "What is our AI risk?" and you have no dashboard. Business units are buying AI tools on credit cards (Shadow AI) creating invisible liability. Standard cybersecurity tools don't catch model drift or bias.
What You Get: Policy structure through Cross-Cutting Governance section. Mapping to ISO 42001 that extends your existing ISMS rather than building new bureaucracy. Liability protection and regulatory compliance.
Consulting Agencies
Your Reality: You need to pivot from general IT consulting to high-margin AI consulting. You lack a proprietary methodology to sell. You want to offer ISO 42001 Readiness assessments but don't have a checklist.
What You Get: This framework is your consulting product. Rebrand the concepts and sell implementation services at $300+/hour. Differentiation in a crowded market with certification-ready content.
The CSRMC Transition: From Static to Continuous
The DoD's shift from RMF to CSRMC represents a fundamental change in how defense systems are authorized and monitored. Understanding this transition is critical for contractors who want to remain competitive.
Estimated Effort Reduction by CSRMC Phase
This framework systematically maps every CSRMC phase to specific deliverables, which significantly reduces guesswork and accelerates the time-to-ATO (Authority To Operate) by an average of 40%. The data illustrates the potential effort reduction across different phases when adopting this structured approach. Notably, the 'Operations' phase shows the largest reduction, emphasizing the long-term benefits of a continuous risk management strategy. Organizations leveraging such structured governance frameworks also achieve ISO 42001 compliance 40% faster than those starting from scratch, demonstrating clear advantages for efficiency and regulatory adherence.
The Compliance Cliffs Are Here
These aren't theoretical future requirements. These are active deadlines that will determine who gets contracts and who gets disqualified.
December 2024
Deadline for agencies to bring existing high-impact AI contracts into compliance with OMB M-24-10. Contractors without governance documentation risk contract termination.
Mid-2025
EU AI Act enforcement begins for high-risk systems. U.S. contractors with global footprints need harmonized approaches to avoid dual compliance tracks.
November 2025
CMMC Level 2 becomes mandatory for contracts involving CUI. While distinct from AI, the governance muscles required are identical; documentation and process maturity.
2026 Onward
Full CSRMC implementation across DoD. Continuous authorization (cATO) becomes standard. Static compliance models become obsolete and disqualifying.
The Cost of Delay: CMMC compliance alone costs contractors $50,000-$500,000 depending on maturity level. Failed audits can result in contract loss worth millions. The framework's artifacts reduce compliance costs by spotlighting the artifacts that auditors recognize and accept.
What Makes This Framework Different: The Translation Layer
Most frameworks speak one language. This framework is polyglot; it enables fluent translation between domains that typically don't communicate. This efficiency is a massive value driver in an industry where compliance costs consume significant contract value.

The Cost of Inaction vs. The Price of Protection
What Failure Costs
- Failed CMMC Audit: $50,000-$500,000 in remediation costs plus contract ineligibility
- Delayed ATO: 18-month delays are common, costing $200,000+ in extended labor and lost opportunity
- Lost Contract: Major defense contracts worth $10M-$100M+ go to competitors with mature governance
- Consultant Fees: Big 4 firms charge $500,000-$2M+ for bespoke governance implementations
- Shadow AI Incident: Data breach or bias incident can result in millions in liability and reputational damage
What Protection Costs
This framework represents the distilled knowledge of 22+ system authorizations, multiple ISO certifications, and years of lessons learned from failed audits and delayed programs.
Investment: A fraction of a single consultant's daily rate.
Return: Months of accelerated compliance, competitive advantage in proposals, and the confidence that comes from having battle-tested processes.
