An operating approach for responsible AI.
AI governance only works when it becomes part of how an organization operates. Governance OS brings together the structures and practices that turn intention into accountability.
Assess. Design. Implement. Govern. Improve.
A connected cycle for moving from a point-in-time view of your AI landscape to sustained governance.
Assess
Understand existing AI usage, risks, policies, responsibilities, and governance maturity.
Design
Develop the framework, policies, responsibilities, risk methodology, and controls appropriate for your organization.
Implement
Turn requirements into operational processes, documentation, training, and accountability.
Govern
Establish ongoing oversight for AI systems, vendors, risks, incidents, and emerging use cases.
Improve
Strengthen the program as technology, organizational needs, and external requirements evolve.
The building blocks of ongoing oversight.
AI inventory
Keep a clear view of AI systems, applications, use cases, and owners.
Policies & standards
Set understandable expectations for responsible use and human review.
Risk assessment
Classify and evaluate AI applications according to their real-world impact.
Vendor oversight
Review third-party AI capabilities, data practices, and dependencies.

Define how concerns are escalated, reviewed, and addressed.
Training & reporting
Equip teams to act responsibly and give leadership meaningful visibility.
Where is your organization today?
Our five-level model helps leadership see the current state of AI governance and chart a practical path forward.
Unmanaged
AI use grows independently, with limited visibility into systems, vendors, data, and risk.
Emerging
The need for governance is recognized, but policies, inventories, and accountability remain incomplete.
Defined
Policies, responsibilities, inventories, risk classifications, and review procedures are established.
Managed
Governance is integrated into business processes; AI systems are monitored and reassessed.
Adaptive
Governance evolves continuously with technology, risks, regulations, and strategy.
Grounded in recognized frameworks. Built for your organization.
Our approach can help operationalize the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and prepare organizations for ISO/IEC 42001 alignment.
Govern
Establish policies, responsibilities, oversight, and accountability.
Map
Identify systems, stakeholders, context, impacts, and risks.
Measure
Evaluate performance, privacy, security, reliability, and other relevant risks.
Manage
Prioritize risks, apply controls, monitor systems, and respond to change.
