Standard / Control Framework Changes

South Korea AI Basic Act Framework Added

South Korea’s Framework Act on the Development of Artificial Intelligence and the Creation of a Foundation for Trust establishes a national legal framework for AI governance, transparency, safety, and trust. Effective January 22, 2026 as a matter of law, it introduces core obligations relating to AI transparency, safety measures for certain advanced AI systems, responsibilities for providers of high-impact AI, human rights impact assessment, and the appointment of a local representative for certain foreign AI business operators. It also includes separate obligations for synthetic content disclosure and public-sector procurement prioritization in certain cases.

We’ve streamlined South Korea AI Basic Act compliance by offering the framework on our platform—featuring controls, implementation guidance, evidence tasks, policies, and risks aligned to the law’s requirements for AI business operators, including those providing high-impact AI and certain foreign AI business operators. The framework is designed to help organizations operationalize governance, transparency, risk management, and accountability for AI systems in scope under the Act.

Note:

The South Korea AI Basic Act Framework will be available on the OneTrust platform effective May 18, 2026.

For more information, see Supported Control Frameworks.
