Free AI Risk Assessment Tool
Assess the risks of an AI system before it ships, worded to align with the MAP and MEASURE functions of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 and the requirements of ISO/IEC 42001. Answer a short guided form, then generate the assessment and download it as Word or PDF. It is free and needs no sign-up. Your details are processed securely to write the assessment and are never stored, sold, or used for training.
An AI risk assessment is a structured review of what could go wrong with an AI system, who it could harm, how likely and how serious each risk is, and what controls reduce it. This free tool builds that assessment from a guided form, worded to align with the MAP and MEASURE functions of the NIST AI RMF 1.0 and ISO/IEC 42001, and lets you download it as Word or PDF, with no paywall and no sign-up.
System details
Describe the AI system and how it is used. You get a complete risk assessment, structured around the NIST AI RMF 1.0 MAP and MEASURE functions, ready to download as Word or PDF.
The system
Context
Your assessment will appear here. Fill in the details on the left and select Generate assessment.
How the AI risk assessment tool works
Describe your AI system
Name the system or use case, say what it does and who it affects, and add the data it uses, how much it drives a decision, and any controls you already have.
Generate your assessment
The tool writes an assessment from your details, worded to align with the MAP and MEASURE functions of the NIST AI RMF 1.0 and ISO/IEC 42001. Results come back in seconds.
Download and review
Export the assessment as a PDF or an editable Word file, then have it reviewed by your risk, compliance, or legal team before you rely on it.
Free, private, and built on NIST AI RMF 1.0 and ISO/IEC 42001
Most risk-assessment templates sit behind a lead form or keep a copy of what you enter. This one asks for no sign-up and keeps nothing. Writing an assessment needs a language model, so your details are sent to our server and processed there, then discarded. The findings are worded to line up with the MAP and MEASURE functions of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 and the requirements of ISO/IEC 42001.
We built this from our own AI governance programme, not from a summary of the standard: see BlockSurvey's AI Policy for how we assess and govern the AI we use.
Processed, never kept
Your details are processed securely to write the assessment and are never stored, sold, or used for training. Keep the form to system-level details and leave secrets, personal data, and PHI out.
No account required
No sign-up and no email wall. A fair-use rate limit is the only thing standing between you and the tool.
Free, real download
The complete assessment as an editable Word file or PDF at no cost, not a watermarked sample.
What the assessment includes
A structured assessment generated from your details, worded to align with the NIST AI RMF 1.0 MAP and MEASURE functions and ISO/IEC 42001:
- System context and intended use, framing what the AI does and for whom.
- The people and groups affected, and how a wrong output would reach them.
- Risks to fairness, with bias and disparate-impact concerns called out.
- Transparency and explainability gaps for the decisions the system informs.
- Privacy and data-protection risks in the data the system uses.
- Safety and security risks, including misuse, leakage, and adversarial input.
- Reliability and accuracy risks, and where the system is likely to fail.
- How each risk could be sized and tracked, in the spirit of the MEASURE function.
- Suggested controls and mitigations, weighed against the controls you already have.
- Human oversight for decisions the system drives or automates.
- An advisory legal notice added to the end of the document.
Built for every team working with AI
Whether you build models or just bought your first AI tool, a written risk assessment is what lets you explain your AI to a customer, an auditor, or a regulator before something goes wrong. This tool gives you a structured starting point, and it pairs well with an AI survey platform when the data you feed those systems comes from people.
Compliance & privacy teams
Document AI risk without starting from a blank page.
Legal & risk
Get a framework-aligned draft to review and pressure-test, not a generic checklist.
Product & engineering
Surface the risks in a system before it ships, while you can still change it.
Researchers & data teams
Weigh data provenance, privacy, and bias before a model goes into use.
Startups adopting AI
Answer enterprise AI questionnaires with an assessment you can actually point to.
Vendors selling into enterprise
Show buyers you have looked hard at the risks in the AI you sell.
Your assessment just flagged a data-protection risk.
Assessing the risk is one thing; the data you collect to feed these systems is another. BlockSurvey is an AI survey platform, encrypted end to end, with a published AI policy you can cite in your own risk review, so responses are never sold, mined, or used to train models.
