Map the system to NIST AI RMF 1.0
NIST AI RMF (January 2023) — Govern, Map, Measure, Manage. The de-facto baseline for AI governance in US-regulated infrastructure.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Align with ISO/IEC 42001 (2023) AI Management System
ISO/IEC 42001 (published December 2023) is the ISO management-system standard for AI. Certification path aligned with ISO 27001.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Assess EU AI Act (Reg 2024/1689) applicability
EU AI Act entered into force August 2024. Determine whether the copilot is high-risk, limited-risk, or minimal-risk under Annex III.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Track White House AI EO 14110 and OMB M-24-10 obligations
Applicable for US federal and federal-adjacent operators. OMB M-24-10 sets specific requirements for safety-impacting and rights-impacting AI.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Align with TMF AI/ML guidance and O-RAN Alliance WG2
TMF and O-RAN provide telecom-specific AI/ML architecture and governance guidance that supplements the horizontal frameworks.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Align architecture with 3GPP Release 17 / 18 / 19 AI/ML specs
3GPP Releases 17–19 define AI/ML functions, model lifecycle, and NWDAF interfaces. The GenAI copilot sits on top of this stack.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Document the GenAI overlay against O-RAN WG2 AI/ML architecture
O-RAN WG2 specifies where AI/ML functions live (SMO, Non-RT RIC, Near-RT RIC). The copilot is a consumer of these functions, not a replacement.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Confirm operator licence conditions and national regulator posture
Many national regulators (Ofcom, BNetzA, FCC, ACMA) have issued guidance on AI use in network operations. Map obligations explicitly.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Map applicable NIST SP 800-53 controls
For US federal and federal-adjacent operators, NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls around access, audit, and configuration apply to the GenAI stack.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Align with SOC 2 Type II for the GenAI service
SOC 2 Type II is the operator-customer baseline for SaaS and internal shared services. Scope the GenAI stack explicitly.

Document GDPR / CCPA / CPRA posture for subscriber data in the corpus
Events and postmortems touch subscriber data — document legal basis, retention, redaction, and subject-rights handling.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Enforce tenant log data-residency controls
For multi-tenant or wholesale operators, tenant event data must remain segregated and in-region — audit the corpus partitioning model.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Maintain end-to-end audit trail per query
Every query: engineer identity, query text, retrieved sources, tool calls, generated response, citation validation, feedback — all logged and retained.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Maintain model, prompt, and adapter version registry
Every production decision traceable to the exact base model, adapter / LoRA, prompt version, retrieval config, and corpus snapshot.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Define copyright / training-data provenance policy
Vendor documentation may carry licence constraints on training / indexing. Confirm permitted uses with vendor contracts.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Establish board / executive AI governance reporting
Copilot adoption, hallucination rate, MTTR impact, incident count should appear in board-level risk reporting, not only in NOC dashboards.
