The Framework Paradox

8 AI-native security frameworks tracked. 5 are document-only. Only 3 are machine-readable. 42 heuristic crosswalk rows across MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF, and OWASP LLM Top 10 — none are natively integrated into CI/CD pipelines, security tooling, or automated evidence collection. The Compliance Reflex (108:1 legacy vs AI-native) is not stubbornness: it's structural. When AI-native frameworks exist only as PDFs with no automation integration and no audit-trail format, practitioners implement what they can actually implement. The standards bodies meant to displace legacy frameworks are too immature to do so.

Recommended actions

What leaders should do next

Invest in machine-readable control definitions before requiring framework compliance.
Treat framework crosswalk heuristics as directional guidance, not equivalence claims.
Lobby standards bodies for automation-first framework formats.
