AI Governance

AI Governance That Survives an Audit — and an Insurance Renewal

Insurers, auditors, enterprise customers, and boards have all started asking AI questions. “We're being careful” is not an answer. Governance is: a policy with teeth, discovered shadow AI, reviewed vendor clauses, and a risk register someone keeps current.

What AI governance actually includes

An AI usage policy with teeth — approved tools, data rules, review requirements, and consequences, written for humans.

Shadow-AI discovery: the tools your people are already using that nobody sanctioned. It always surfaces.

Vendor AI clause review — what your top contracts say about AI touching your data, and what they should say.

Data-handling rules for AI: what can go where, and how you'd prove it.

A living AI risk register, rated likelihood × impact, each risk paired with a control and an owner.

Training that makes the policy real instead of a PDF nobody opens.

Built on a recognized spine

Our methodology aligns to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — which answers the “whose framework is this?” question before procurement asks it, and gives your governance program a structure that auditors and insurers already recognize.

Standalone or continuous

Governance is delivered two ways: as a standalone project — typically following an AI Readiness & Risk Assessment, which surfaces the gaps — or continuously inside every Managed AI Operations bundle, where the policy lifecycle and risk register are reviewed at every QBR. Governance that isn't maintained is theater; the bundle exists because this work is never finished.

Common questions

Do we really need an AI policy?

Yes — because your people are already using AI, your cyber-insurance renewal is already asking about it, and “we don't have a policy” is the answer that costs you in every one of those conversations. A policy is the cheapest control you'll ever deploy.

Can you work with our legal counsel?

That's the intended model: we bring the technical and operational substance — discovery, controls, register — and your counsel owns the legal language. We also maintain our own internal AI use policy and share it freely as a template of the craft.

How does this relate to cybersecurity?

AI adoption expands your attack surface. Our cybersecurity practice and AI governance are one conversation, not two vendors — same firm, same posture reporting.
