AI Governance, Security, and Compliance
We support organizations that are beginning to ask serious questions about the governance, security, and risks associated with their use of artificial intelligence. This is not relevant for every organization — but when AI becomes a matter of accountability, compliance, or oversight, a structured and independent approach becomes essential.
Services
AI Governance and Compliance (ISO/IEC 42001)
We support organizations in structuring the governance of their artificial intelligence usage, aligned with the ISO/IEC 42001 standard. The objective is to define a clear framework of responsibilities, policies, and processes that enable AI to be managed in a defensible, consistent, and sustainable manner. Our intervention aims to make governance understandable, operational, and demonstrable to third parties.
This service is relevant when AI begins to be used beyond experimentation, or when issues of accountability, compliance, or control emerge at the executive or board level.
This service is not relevant for all organizations, particularly those that do not yet use AI or whose usage remains strictly exploratory.
AI Risk Management (NIST AI RMF)
We help organizations identify, analyze, and prioritize risks specific to their AI usage by leveraging the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. The engagement focuses on structuring AI risk management: risk mapping, acceptability criteria, monitoring mechanisms, and integration into existing governance. This is a framing and steering effort, not system design or implementation.
This service becomes relevant when AI-related risks begin to be discussed at the executive level, or when traditional risk management frameworks no longer adequately cover AI usage.
This service is not relevant for all organizations, particularly those that do not yet perceive AI as a source of organizational or regulatory risk.
AI Security and Usage Control
We support organizations in defining security frameworks adapted to AI usage, complementing traditional security approaches. The intervention focuses on the principles of control, oversight, and accountability related to AI system usage, without intervening in architecture, development, or technical implementation. The objective is to strengthen the organization's ability to demonstrate that it controls its AI usage.
This service is relevant when concerns emerge about the security, misuse, drift, or uncontrolled use of AI systems within the organization.
This service is not relevant for all organizations, particularly those seeking architecture or technical implementation services.
Preparation for Audits, Regulators, and Boards
We help organizations prepare for audits, regulatory examinations, or board reviews concerning AI usage. The engagement aims to structure clear, coherent, and defensible documentation demonstrating due diligence in AI governance, security, and risk management. The objective is to enable executives to assume their responsibilities with confidence.
This service is relevant when the organization anticipates or faces accountability requirements concerning AI, whether from auditors, regulators, or governance bodies.
This service is not relevant for all organizations, particularly those not exposed to formal compliance or oversight requirements.
All our engagements are strictly advisory.
We do not intervene in the development, deployment, or operation of artificial intelligence systems, and remain independent of any technology or vendor.
