AI Governance & Risk Advisory
Establishes the policy, control and oversight structure needed before AI usage outpaces the ability to govern it.
What this engagement is
Establishes the policy, approval workflow and oversight structure an organization needs before — not after — AI usage expands across teams, aligned to model-risk-management practice and the regulatory expectations relevant to the organization's sector.
- Organizations where AI usage has grown faster than formal governance policy.
- Regulated entities needing a defensible AI risk framework ahead of an audit or examination.
- Boards and risk committees requiring an independent assessment of current AI risk exposure.
What it covers
Current-state AI usage inventory and risk exposure assessment.
Policy design for model approval, usage boundaries and data-handling requirements.
Governance structure recommendations, including review committee design and escalation paths.
Alignment mapping against applicable regulatory and model-risk-management expectations.
Coordination with the AI Governance & Observability platform where deployed, so policy is enforceable, not aspirational.
How this is delivered
Sprint Engagement
A focused, time-boxed engagement against a defined deliverable — an architecture review, a readiness assessment, a modernization roadmap — with a clear start, end and output document.
Fractional Retainer
Continuous access to a senior architect for review, decision support and escalation — without a full-time hire. Suited to organizations that need standing technical judgment available, not a one-off project.
Scope, assess, advise, support
Scope
A short discovery conversation defines the specific decision, risk or gap the engagement needs to address, and the right engagement model for it.
Assess
The architect reviews current-state documentation, systems and stakeholder input against the defined scope.
Advise
Findings, options and a recommended path are delivered in a structured document and a working session with stakeholders.
Support
For fractional and sprint engagements, the architect remains available through initial implementation decisions to keep the recommendation grounded in what actually happens during execution.
What you receive
- An AI usage and risk inventory.
- A written AI governance policy and approval workflow.
- A regulatory-alignment mapping document for the organization's sector.
