AI only scales when leaders can trust it. We design a practical control system that satisfies risk, audit, legal, and security while keeping delivery fast. Governance lives inside tools and workflows, not in shelfware policies.

Why Governance First

What changes for you 

  • Clear risk tiers and approval paths

  • Evidence collected automatically as work happens

  • Consistent human oversight for material decisions

  • Faster audits, fewer surprises, easier scale

Core Framework We Implement

  • Risk tiering: classify use cases by impact on customers, employees, and the firm; set guardrails, approvals, and oversight per tier

  • Policy to practice: convert policy into checks inside tools, prompts, pipelines, and deployment steps

  • Evaluation harness: measure quality, cost, and latency, with test sets and thresholds per use case

  • Human in the loop: define decision points, escalation, and sampling plans

  • Evidence and traceability: maintain decision logs, datasets used, model configs, and change history

  • Incident management: monitor, alert, and respond with playbooks for quality drift, bias, and security events

  • Lifecycle controls: govern from idea to retirement, including change requests and periodic reviews

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Executive sponsor: sets intent and removes blockers

  • Risk and compliance define control points and reviews evidence

  • Security and privacy ensure access, logging, and data handling

  • Product and delivery: implement controls in workflow and tools

  • Data and platform: manage datasets, lineage, and environments

  • Independent reviewers: periodic assessments and red team exercises

Engagement Flow

Current state and risk map, one to two weeks

Assess policies, platforms, data, and in-flight use cases. Identify gaps, risks, and quick wins.

1

Control design, two to three weeks

Define tiers, approvals, evidence requirements, and human oversight. Map controls the delivery flow and platforms. Draft the controls library and templates.

2

Tool enablement, two to four weeks

Instrument evaluation, access, logging, and audit trail. Add checks to pipelines, prompts, and deployment steps. Stand up dashboards.

Validate and operationalize ongoing

Pilot on one or two use cases. Train reviewers and owners. Establish cadence for reviews, drift monitoring, and incidents. Hand off to internal owners.

Controls We Commonly Implement

  • Access controls and least privilege

  • Dataset registry and lineage tracking

  • Prompt and template versioning

  • Test sets with quality, cost, and latency thresholds

  • Bias and harm screens tailored to the use case

  • Decision capture with reason codes and samples

  • Change control with rollback and approvals

  • Monitoring for drift, anomalies, and abuse

Metrics We Track

  • Control coverage by tier and stage

  • Time to approve and time to deploy

  • Issues found in review versus in production

  • Evaluation pass rate against thresholds

  • Audit readiness and time to provide evidence

Alignment to Standards

We align to widely used practices such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO guidance for AI risk and information security, SOC reporting expectations, and internal model risk frameworks. We adapt to your enterprise standards and regulators.

FAQs

  • No. Controls are right sized by risk tier and embedded where work happens, so delivery remains fast and auditable. 

  • Yes. We integrate with your current platforms and processes.

  • No. We design for current state and evolve with you.

  • We bake data handling and approvals into the workflow and provide DPIA templates you can adapt.
