AI Policy & Governance

Use AI with confidence. We write the rules your team follows, check your AI provider's contract, find the AI tools already in use, and put controls in place to protect your data.

Clear rules for AI, backed by real controls

AI policy and governance gives your business clear rules for AI and the controls to back them up. It comes with every AI Adoption & Training engagement and is part of your NIST CSF 2.0 cybersecurity program, where AI falls under the Govern function.

An AI policy your team can follow

Your policy names the AI tools staff may use and what they may use them for. It sets clear rules for client data, health information, financial data and confidential documents, and says when a person must review AI work before it goes out. We train your team on it, and everyone signs off.

Governance that keeps up with AI

AI tools and the rules around them change fast. We review your AI governance regularly as part of your fractional CISO reviews, so your policy, approved tools and controls stay current.

Finding unapproved AI

We find the AI tools your staff already use, so you can approve the good ones and replace the risky ones.

Technical controls

We block unapproved AI tools and label sensitive data, for example with Microsoft Purview, so your policy is enforced as well as written.
