AI Risk & Governance that evolves as fast as AI.
AI risk management, governance, and assessments aligned to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act. Built by advisors who keep up with the changing tide of AI.
AI Risk & Governance Services
We work with clients across all stages of AI adoption, offering strategic guidance on how to maintain compliance with customer requirements, laws, and regulations, while getting the most out of AI efforts. As a firm, we primarily work with tech companies. However, we are intentionally industry-agnostic in our AI services as we believe all industries can and should benefit from AI.
Our AI governance work spans policy development, risk assessments, and readiness for frameworks like the NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001, so you can show customers and partners you've thought through model risk, data handling, third-party AI dependencies, and human oversight. We also help companies evaluate AI risk from the inside out: where AI is used in your product, where it's used in your business operations, and where it's used (or should be used) in your own development process.
Many firms are selling AI services. Here are a few things that set us apart:
We actually know AI. We use it in every part of our business, and we learn the latest updates daily. It’s the only way to keep up.
We balance risk and reward, helping you make strategic AI decisions that build efficiency without breaking company culture, creativity, or work ethic (or laws, of course).
We help with the people part, including training and adoption.

Shadow AI is putting your company at risk.
The elusive “shadow AI” - the inevitable use of AI by employees who aren’t provided authorized AI platforms - creates real risk for companies, especially those in highly regulated industries. Implementing AI reduces risk when done so securely and with compliance in mind.
-
Regulations are here and you aren't ready.
Customers and regulators are increasingly asking about AI governance and expecting real answers, real documentation, and real results of compliance with AI regulations. The tentative plans and fluffy documentation are no longer cutting it for enterprise buyers and auditors.
-
You moved fast and broke things.
Many companies are moving at record speeds to incorporate AI in their software development workflows and in their products. Without an underlying understanding of the risks AI introduces, moving fast can create significant vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and even legal liability.
AI risk to AI ready, from start to finish
You’ll talk to senior advisors and the founder & lead partner to scope the project - no sales people and no bait and switch from senior advisors to junior personnel. We learn how you use AI, how it’s built into your business or product, your regulatory exposure, and your timeline to scope an engagement that reduces risk through the path of least resistance.

Scoping Call
AI System Inventory & Risk Assessment
2
We map AI vendors, AI systems, AI models, and data flows; classify each by risk; and assess the use of AI against standard AI risk management frameworks to surface exactly where governance, security, and compliance gaps live.
Governance Build & Remediation
3
We build policies, controls, model inventories, and oversight processes alongside your team, so governance fits into your workflows instead of fighting them. We understand the need for companies to leverage AI to succeed - we help you layer in security and governance to protect yourself, without hindering your AI progress.
We give you audit-ready documentation that stands up to enterprise and regulatory scrutiny, then stay with you to keep the program current as models, features, and regulations evolve. If you move forward with an ISO 42001 certification, we support you as your internal auditor to help you stay compliant.

A Little Help from our Friends
5
We collaborate with individual consultants and organizations that go beyond the world of governance to provide additional expertise with AI implementation and agentic AI software engineering.
-
AI governance is the set of policies, controls, configurations, and oversight that keep your AI systems safe, compliant, and accountable across their lifecycle. You need it because AI introduces risks traditional controls miss, like bias, hallucinations, prompt injection, and model drift, and because regulators (EU AI Act), frameworks (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001), and enterprise buyers now expect documented governance.
-
The NIST AI RMF is a voluntary framework that helps organizations identify, assess, and manage risks across the AI lifecycle through four functions - Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. It's become the de facto baseline for AI risk programs in the U.S. We use it as a baseline to structure AI risk assessments and build governance programs that map to what auditors and customers expect.
-
The EU AI Act applies to any company whose AI systems are used in or affect people in the EU - not just companies headquartered there. It classifies AI systems into risk tiers, each with different obligations for documentation, transparency, and human oversight. We classify your systems, map your obligations, and build the controls and evidence you need to stay compliant as enforcement ramps up.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for AI Management Systems - the AI equivalent of what ISO 27001 is for information security. It gives you a certifiable structure for governing AI responsibly across its lifecycle. We design your governance program to align with it so you're ready for certification and credible with enterprise buyers. We are not a certification body, but support our clients through the readiness and internal audit process and work closely with great providers.
-
SOC 2 reports are a great starting point (and yes we are biased - see our Modern Assurance services page) but they don’t always tell the full story of AI governance. As the risks associated with the use of AI evolve, specific requirements and frameworks are being developed that are more specific to AI risks. The SOC 2 framework provides flexibility to include controls around AI - if yours does, leverage it in conversations with auditors and enterprise customers to see if your SOC 2 will suffice. We are seeing more requests for AI-specific assurance, but it never hurts to ask.
-
Our goal is to add value. Our clients have enough on their plates running their own businesses, so we only surface risks that actually matter and provide solutions that don’t hinder company progress.
We believe AI risk and governance services should be flexible, customized, and client-focused.
If you want a cheap, check-the-box team with a cookie-cutter deliverable, you have plenty of options. We aren’t one of them.
Govern your AI before someone makes you.
