AI Governance, Security & Compliance

The evidence a regulator, a board or a public buyer will ask for

Model inventory, risk classification, EU AI Act and ISO 42001 alignment, adversarial testing, and sovereign deployment where data cannot leave.

  • EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001
  • UAE PDPL, GDPR, KVKK
  • In-country and air-gapped

Model inventory

  • Risk classification
  • Approval gates
  • Technical documentation
  • Adversarial testing
  • Human oversight
  • Incident response
Every obligation attaches to the inventory. Without a complete one, none of the rest can be evidenced.

Operating model

Governance that produces evidence, not paperwork

A policy nobody builds against fails the first audit, and a committee that blocks everything pushes teams to shadow tools with no controls at all. We wire the controls into the delivery pipeline, so evidence accumulates while the work happens.

  • One inventory of built, bought and embedded AI
  • Classification mapped to actual legal obligations
  • Answer an auditor in an afternoon, not a quarter

Frameworks

Which ones actually bind you

Exposure is usually narrower than feared but concentrated in one or two systems nobody considered. ISO/IEC 42001 certifies; NIST AI RMF structures the work without it.

  • EU AI Act
  • ISO/IEC 42001
  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • NIST AI RMF

Security

Testing the attacks that apply

Indirect prompt injection through retrieved documents and tool output is the route that matters once a system reads your mail. Findings are reproducible and the suite runs in CI.

  • indirect injection
  • jailbreak
  • tool abuse
  • PII redaction

Sovereignty

In-country, disconnected if required

Air-gapped operation with offline model artefacts and package mirrors, open-weight models on your own hardware, and residency shown in logs rather than asserted in a contract.

  • air-gapped
  • offline mirror
  • open weights
  • SBOM

Who we do this for

  • Government and public sector bodies
  • Banks and model risk functions
  • Insurers and conduct teams
  • Healthcare providers handling data
  • Institutions preparing for certification

Three ways in. Stop after any of them.

3–4 weeks

AI risk and readiness assessment

Model inventory, risk classification and regulatory gap analysis, scoped so your own teams can remediate without us.

Model inventory, obligation mapping, prioritised remediation plan

8–20 weeks

Governance and controls implementation

Operating model, policies and approval gates stood up, with controls and red-team suites wired into the pipeline.

Policy set, approval gates, red-team suite, evidence pack, model cards

Ongoing

Ongoing assurance

Continuous monitoring, periodic red-teaming as models change, and support through audits and regulatory enquiries.

Horizon scanning, refreshed evidence, audit and certification support

Questions

Possibly. It reaches providers and deployers whose systems are placed on the EU market or whose outputs are used in the EU, so a Gulf or Turkish institution serving EU customers can be in scope for specific systems while the rest of the estate is not. We answer that per system, not as a blanket position.

If you have no models in production and no near-term plan to deploy any, a governance programme is premature: write a short acceptable-use policy, keep an inventory from day one, and come back when the first system nears production. If you already run model risk governance, you may need an AI extension to it.

Badly designed governance does, and it pushes teams into shadow tooling with no controls at all. Proportionate gates work the other way: minimal-risk systems ship with a lightweight record, and scrutiny concentrates where it is warranted. With controls inside the pipeline, most evidence is produced automatically.
