Who this is for
Organizations usually call us about this when:
AI is spreading across departments and no one has a full picture.
Your board or council asked how AI is being governed.
You want a prioritized plan before investing in a governance program.
Overview
When AI spreads across several teams, leadership needs to know what’s in use, who owns it, and where the gaps are. We build your AI inventory, review your policies and approval process, assess them against the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and give you a roadmap for the next six to twelve months.
What’s included
- An AI inventory and use-case register
- Review of AI policies, roles, and approval process
- Gap analysis against the NIST AI Risk Management Framework
- Identification of high-risk uses that need attention first
- A prioritized 6–12 month roadmap
- A leadership readout of findings
