Standard vs AI Risk Assessment

What is the difference between Standard and AI Risk Assessments? Risk72 offers two types of assessments:

Standard Risk Assessment

Focuses on traditional cybersecurity domains such as:

• Access control
• Endpoint security
• Incident response
• Data protection

This assessment provides a baseline understanding of your organization’s overall security posture.

AI Risk Assessment

Expands on the standard model by evaluating risks introduced by artificial intelligence systems.

This includes:

• Use of AI tools (e.g., copilots, automation platforms)
• Data exposure through AI interactions
• Model governance and oversight
• Prompt injection and misuse risks

The AI assessment aligns conceptually with modern guidance such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

Which should you choose?

• Use Standard if you need a general cybersecurity baseline
• Use AI Assessment if your organization uses or plans to use AI tools

Most organizations today benefit from running both.
