Enterprise AI Compliance: The Risk and Governance Handbook — Frameworks, Audit Controls, and Accountability Structures for Regulated Industries, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and Global Mandates

The EU AI Act is now in force. The August 2026 enforcement deadline for high-risk AI systems is not a future problem — it is a present one. And for most regulated enterprises, the gap between what the regulation requires and what their governance programmes actually deliver is wider than their legal teams have told them. Enterprise AI Compliance: The Risk and Governance Handbook is the definitive operational guide for compliance professionals, risk officers, legal counsel, and board members who need to build, audit, and sustain AI governance programmes that satisfy the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and ISO/IEC 42001 simultaneously — without managing three separate compliance programmes. Written by a practitioner for practitioners, this 28-chapter handbook delivers what regulations cannot: the exact architecture of a compliant programme, the specific evidence an auditor will demand, and the accountability structures that make governance operational rather than aspirational. What this book gives you: A unified compliance matrix mapping every EU AI Act obligation to its NIST AI RMF function and ISO 42001 clause — one governance activity satisfies all three frameworks at once A complete harmonised control catalog of 95 controls across 10 domains, each written with specific pass/fail test criteria ready for GRC platform implementation A five-level gap analysis methodology with scoring template, remediation roadmap, and 30-day regulatory inspection preparation protocol Sector-specific compliance guidance for financial services, healthcare and life sciences, critical infrastructure, public sector, and legal and HR services — each with case studies, checklists, and audit controls A 90-day compliance sprint roadmap with week-by-week milestones for organisations building a programme under time pressure Board and C-suite accountability frameworks including the Declaration of Conformity process, director AI literacy programme, and quarterly AI risk dashboard design Deep coverage of GPAI model compliance under Title V, including the EU AI Office Code of Practice and the NIST AI 600-1 Generative AI Profile Regulatory coverage includes EU AI Act (full enforcement timeline through 2026–2027) · NIST AI RMF 1.0 and AI 600-1 · ISO/IEC 42001:2023 · NIS2 · GDPR interaction with AI · UK FCA Consumer Duty · Canada AIDA · Singapore MAS FEAT · South Korea AI Basic Act · OECD AI Principles Industries covered: Financial services · Healthcare and life sciences · Critical infrastructure · Public sector · Legal, HR, and professional services Who this book is for Chief Compliance Officers and AI Officers building AI governance programmes · Chief Risk Officers responsible for EU AI Act compliance · Internal auditors developing AI audit programmes · Board members exercising AI oversight · Legal counsel advising on EU AI Act obligations · Risk managers in regulated industries · GRC platform managers implementing AI controls This is not a policy overview. It is not an academic survey. It is a hands-on operational manual — with 200+ compliance checklist items, 150+ audit control templates, 28 case studies, and 80+ diagrams and tables — designed to produce a defensible, audited, board-reported AI governance programme. The age of voluntary AI governance guidelines is over. The age of mandatory AI compliance has begun. Enforcement actions are being opened. Regulators are asking questions. Auditors are arriving at doors. The only question that matters now is whether your organisation will be ready when they arrive at yours.
