AICM Implementation & Auditing Guidelines (Frameworks)
Release Date: 10/22/2025
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) AI Controls Matrix (AICM) Implementation and Auditing Guidelines Bundle provides comprehensive direction for both implementing and assessing the 243 controls of the AI Controls Matrix.
What’s Included in this Download:
- Implementation Guidelines: Defines practical, role-based recommendations for applying AICM controls to AI systems operating in cloud environments. Each control includes detailed implementation guidance tailored to the primary actors in the AI ecosystem: Model Providers (MPs), Application Providers (APs), Orchestrated Services Providers (OSPs), AI Customers (AICs), and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).
- Auditing Guidelines: Complement these by providing structured auditing steps for internal or external auditors assessing organizations implementing the AI Controls Framework. It emphasizes role-specific accountability across the AI supply chain, ensuring consistent evaluation, clear expectations, and traceability across implementation and assurance activities.
These documents form a reference for practitioners, implementers, and auditors seeking to operationalize, evaluate, and strengthen governance, risk management, and compliance programs for AI systems in cloud environments.
