HAIAMM vs Google SAIF

Google Secure AI Framework

A set of secure-AI engineering principles and a risk map from Google, aimed at guiding how teams reason about securing AI systems and supply chains.

✓ Pros

  • Practical, engineering-led principles from a large-scale AI operator.
  • Good coverage of the model and application layers and the AI supply chain.
  • Accessible mental model for teams starting to threat-model AI.
  • Free and public.

⚠ Cons / Gaps

  • Principles and risk map, not a maturity model, no levels and no program score.
  • Not an assessable standard; provides direction rather than measurable criteria.
  • Centered on model/app layers; lighter on vendors, endpoints, and organizational process.
  • No certification or formal assurance path.

Why HAIAMM is a strong choice

  • HAIAMM turns SAIF's principles into assessable, tiered practices with measurable outcomes.
  • HAIAMM extends the same rigor to Vendors, Infrastructure, Processes, and Endpoints, areas SAIF lightly touches.
  • HAIAMM gives a program-level maturity score SAIF does not attempt.

How they work together

Adopt SAIF's principles as design guidance; use HAIAMM to measure how mature your program is at actually implementing them across the full AI estate.
