Practice 01 · AI Governance & Compliance

AI Governance & Compliance.

Governance frameworks, model lifecycle controls, and regulatory readiness for companies building or deploying AI in regulated markets.

Why this matters

AI regulation went from theoretical to binding.

The EU AI Act is enforceable. GPAI obligations are active. High-risk system requirements are phasing in through 2026. Enterprise buyers are adding AI-governance clauses to procurement templates before they are legally compelled to.

If your product uses AI in the EU market — including through APIs — you need to classify your systems, document your controls, and demonstrate governance. The companies that do this early stop losing deals to competitors who can produce a conformity pack on demand.

Regulatory coverage

Frameworks we operationalise.

Not every framework applies to every company. Part of the engagement is eliminating the ones that do not.

What you receive

Deliverables, not documents.

01

AI system inventory & risk classification

Every AI component you ship or integrate, mapped to EU AI Act risk tiers with justification.

02

ISO 42001 AI Management System

Governance structure, policies, and operating rhythm aligned to ISO 42001 — scoped to your size, not an enterprise template.

03

Model lifecycle controls

Data governance, evaluation protocols, change management, and incident response — designed into your MLOps pipeline rather than bolted on.

04

Conformity documentation pack

Technical file, data sheets, model cards, risk management file — structured so it survives audit and due diligence.

05

Fundamental rights impact assessment

Where mandated by Article 27 or requested by enterprise buyers — defensible, not boilerplate.

06

Procurement-ready evidence library

Vendor questionnaires, buyer security reviews, regulatory filings — answered once, reused forever.

Engagement fit

When this practice is the right one.

Good fit

  • Your product uses AI / ML in the EU market — including via third-party APIs
  • Enterprise buyers are starting to ask AI governance questions
  • You are raising and investors want to see AI risk documentation
  • You operate in healthcare, finance, HR, education, or other high-risk domains

Not a fit

  • You need legal opinions — we implement, we do not practise law
  • You want a template PDF — we build operating systems, not documents
  • You expect the framework to run itself — governance requires human ownership
