Data & AI Governance

From standing up your AI governance program through to ISO 42001 certification readiness, risk framework design, and regulatory impact assessment. Led by an ISO 42001 Lead Auditor.

The challenge
The AI governance market is repeating the mistakes of traditional GRC - organisations are building fragmented, siloed tooling for individual AI risks rather than establishing a connected governance workflow. Meanwhile, ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and Australian AI Guidelines all require defensible evidence.
Our approach
We take an end-to-end approach: from AI strategy and policy through to risk assessment, impact analysis, third-party AI oversight, and assurance. Every engagement is led by an ISO 42001 Lead Auditor with hands-on experience designing and auditing AI governance programs.
What we deliver

Our ai governance services.

01

AI Governance program Setup

Design and establish the AI governance operating model from scratch - governance structure, accountabilities, policies, procedures, and integration with existing risk and compliance frameworks.

02

ISO 42001 Readiness and Lead Auditor Assessment

Gap analysis against ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (AI Management System). Scope definition, control assessment, evidence mapping, and remediation planning. Led by a certified Lead Auditor.

03

AI Risk Framework Design

Build the AI risk identification, assessment, and treatment framework - covering model risk, data risk, bias, fairness, transparency, and third-party AI provider risk.

04

Responsible AI Policy Development

Draft board-approved responsible AI policies with operational procedures, accountability structures, and measurable commitments - not aspirational principles.

05

EU AI Act Impact Assessment

Risk classification of AI systems under the EU AI Act, conformity assessment requirements, and compliance roadmap - including high-risk system obligations and prohibited practices.

06

Data Governance Maturity

Assess and uplift data governance maturity - data quality, classification, lineage, consent management, breach readiness, and lifecycle management.
