The framework
- Guidance for organisations that develop, produce, deploy or use AI, on managing AI-specific risk and integrating it into existing risk processes.
- It is built on ISO 31000, so it describes a process - identify, analyse, evaluate, treat - rather than a checklist of controls.
- It is guidance, not a certifiable standard. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the certifiable management-system counterpart.
- It does not supply a domain risk catalogue. For a physical-AI system you have to bring one, which is the gap the Embodied AI Security Top 10 is written to fill.
Where a red-team result fits
Risk identification & assessment
AI risk management — risk identification & assessment input - a taxonomy gives the risk register its rows, and a measured rate per row turns qualitative likelihood into something with a denominator.
Evidence produced
- The Embodied AI Security Top 10 as a ready risk context for a physical-AI system, so the register starts from a named set rather than a blank page.
- A measured rate per risk, with its interval and benign control, as risk-assessment input - evidence toward likelihood, not a determination of it.
- Honest nulls carried alongside: risks that were tested and did not transfer are reported as such, which is what stops a register recording only the risks that happened to fire.

What it is - and isn’t
- adversarial-only - Provael measures adversarial robustness - susceptibility to manipulation - not general accuracy, reliability, or functional safety.
- evidence-not-certification - The output is evidence you file, not a certificate. Provael is not a notified body, a lab, or a certification scheme.
- behavioural-not-worst-case - Attacks are templated and auditable, not gradient- or search-optimised. Results are a floor on susceptibility - a behavioural lower bound, not a certified worst-case bound.
Running Provael does not make a system compliant or certified - it generates measurements you can put into a conformity or assurance file.
