# Model Governance Index

> Model Governance Index is a procurement-grade reference for AI governance and model oversight. Understand where your program stands against named frameworks (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, IIA’s AI Auditing Framework), learn exactly what to verify before you retain an AI governance or compliance consultant, and explore a sourced reference to the frameworks and real firms active in the space. Procurement support, not a compliance guarantee.

Procurement support and buyer education only. Not a compliance guarantee, not
