Why teams call us

Problems this solves

  • 01

    AI used without rules

    Teams adopt AI tools with no policy on data, accuracy or accountability.

  • 02

    Customers ask how you use AI

    Enterprise buyers and regulators want to know how AI decisions are controlled.

  • 03

    No inventory of AI systems

    Nobody knows which models are in use, where, and with what data.

  • 04

    Regulation is arriving

    AI rules are emerging in India, the US, the EU and in sector guidance.

Our approach

AI governance is the set of policies, roles and checks that make sure AI is used safely, fairly and within the law. We help you set up a programme proportionate to your use of AI: an inventory of AI systems, a risk assessment for each, rules for data and human oversight, and evaluation before and after deployment.

We align the programme with recognised frameworks such as ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems) and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and keep track of sector guidance relevant to you. We do not certify; certification against ISO/IEC 42001 is issued by accredited bodies.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us

Do small companies need AI governance?
A light version, yes: a short policy, an inventory and a risk check for anything customer-facing. It grows with your use of AI.
Is ISO/IEC 42001 certification required?
Not generally. Some customers ask for it. The framework is useful either way as a structure for your programme.
Do you advise on AI law?
We provide technical and process guidance and work with your legal counsel on legal interpretation.
