Which governance framework mandates that technology strategies, including AI, adhere to ethical standards?

• A. APO01 (Managed I&T Management Framework)
• B. DSS05 (Managed Security Services)
• C. BAI09 (Managed Assets)
• D. EDM01 (Ensured Governance Framework Setting and Maintenance)

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that the governance framework establishes and maintains the rules, policies, and standards that guide how technology is used, including how ethical considerations are embedded into AI strategies. EDM01 focuses specifically on ensuring the governance framework is set up and kept up to date, which means it defines the ethical expectations, oversight mechanisms, and accountability structures that all technology initiatives—including AI—must follow. Because this option centers on creating and maintaining the overarching framework that governs behavior and decision-making, it inherently requires technology strategies to adhere to those ethical standards.

The other areas are more about particular operational domains—managing IT and governance at a broad level, security services, or asset management. They don't centrally mandate the ethical alignment of technology strategies across the board, especially for AI, the way EDM01 does, which is why EDM01 is the best choice.
