AI Governance Consulting

What is an AI governance framework and does my company need one?

An AI governance framework is the set of controls, records, and decision rules that determine how your company builds, buys, and operates AI — and proves it did so responsibly. If AI touches your product, your customer data, or decisions about people, you need one: enterprise customers, insurers, and regulators already ask for the evidence.

A policy document alone is not governance. Governance is the layer underneath it — controls and audit records wired into the systems, so the proof exists when a procurement questionnaire, an auditor, or a discovery request arrives.

Who this is for

Companies shipping AI without a security team, and the Chief AI Officers and consultants advising them. The work is multi-jurisdictional — US, EU, Canada, and Australia. The regulators differ; the defensible artifacts don't.

What the engagement delivers

  • An AI system inventory with regulatory classification (ISO 42001 / NIST AI RMF / EU AI Act)
  • A gap assessment ranked by what hits first — procurement questionnaires and insurer renewals
  • A risk register mapped to your actual obligations
  • Policy artifacts and a questionnaire-ready evidence pack

How the process works

  1. A 15-minute fit call establishes whether a fixed scope fits your situation.
  2. Inventory: every AI system you build, buy, or embed, classified against the frameworks that apply to you.
  3. Gap assessment: where you stand against each obligation, ranked by what customers and counsel ask for first.
  4. Build: controls, records, and policy artifacts — drafted here, with counsel review staying with your lawyers.
  5. Readout: what to show the customer, the insurer, or the auditor, and what to fix next.
