EC-Council Launches ADG AI Framework and Self-Assessment Tool to Help Organizations Secure and Govern AI at Scale
EC-Council has launched the Adopt. Defend. Govern. (ADG) AI Framework alongside a self-assessment tool designed to help organizations implement security controls and governance structures for artificial intelligence systems at enterprise scale. The framework was developed through collaboration with cybersecurity and technology practitioners from major organizations including Citi, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, KPMG, Deloitte, NTT Data, GE Healthcare, GlobalLogic, Prudential, and Salesforce. The ADG Framework provides enterprises with a structured operating model built around three core pillars, 12 minimum security controls, and nine governance surfaces for AI implementation. The framework is specifically designed to align with emerging regulatory requirements including the EU AI Act, the ISO/IEC 42001 standard for AI management systems, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, providing organizations with a compliance-ready approach to AI security and governance.
Why It Matters
This framework addresses a critical gap in enterprise AI security as organizations struggle to implement governance controls for rapidly deployed AI systems. With major regulatory frameworks like the EU AI Act taking effect, enterprises need standardized approaches to demonstrate compliance while maintaining operational security. The collaborative development involving major financial services, technology, and consulting firms suggests this could become an industry standard for AI risk management.
