What is AISVS?

The **Artificial Intelligence Security Verification Standard (AISVS)** is a community-driven catalogue of testable security requirements for AI-enabled systems. It gives developers, architects, security engineers, and auditors a structured framework to design, build, test, and verify the security of AI applications throughout their lifecycle, from data collection and model training to deployment, monitoring, and retirement.

AISVS is modeled after the [OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS)](https://owasp.org/www-project-application-security-verification-standard/) and follows the same philosophy: every requirement should be **verifiable, testable, and implementable**.

What AISVS is NOT

• Not a governance framework. Governance is well-covered by NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and EU AI Act compliance guides.
• Not a risk management framework. AISVS provides the technical controls that risk frameworks point to, but does not define risk assessment methodology.
