AI Governance & Compliance Consulting
Guardrails built into your AI, not written up and filed away
Governance that stays theory doesn't protect you. We're engineers first, so we don't just hand you a policy: we build the guardrails into your systems, wire up the monitoring, and stay to keep it working as the rules change. You own everything we build.
What is AI Governance and why do organizations need it?
AI Governance establishes policies, processes, and controls to ensure AI systems are developed and deployed responsibly, ethically, and in compliance with regulations. As AI becomes core to operations, governance protects organizations from risks while enabling innovation.
Key Facts:
- Scope: Policy frameworks, risk management, compliance monitoring, ethics guidelines
- Best for: Organizations deploying AI at scale, regulated industries, enterprises with AI strategy
- Key Risks: Data privacy violations, algorithmic bias, regulatory non-compliance, security breaches
- Compliance: GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, SOC 2, industry-specific regulations
- Benefits: Risk mitigation, stakeholder trust, competitive advantage, sustainable AI adoption

How this works commercially
We work three ways: a fixed price for scoped work, a monthly retainer for ongoing work, and hourly where the scope genuinely cannot be defined up front. Which one applies depends on how well the work can be described before it starts, and we will tell you which we think fits before you ask.
- Fixed price for scoped work
- Assessments, audits, and defined pilots are quoted as one number before anything starts. If the scope is knowable, the price should be knowable, and the risk of getting the estimate wrong is ours rather than yours.
- Monthly retainer for ongoing work
- Continuing leadership, build, and run work is billed monthly. This is the structure most engagements settle into once the shape of the work is clear, because it prices a relationship rather than a transaction.
- Hourly where scope is genuinely open
- Some work cannot honestly be scoped in advance. When that is the case we bill for the hours worked rather than inventing a fixed number and managing you toward it later.
- No long-term lock-in
- Engagements are not structured around multi-year minimum commitments. We would rather keep the work because it is worth keeping.
Who does the work
The people who scope your work write the code and ship it. No junior engineers are billed to client work, and the person you talk to in the first conversation is someone who will be building.
You own the code and the cloud accounts it runs in, and engagements end with documentation your team can run the system from. Full engagement terms, ownership, and procurement answers.
Build governance into your AI, not around it.
Bring us your AI systems and the rules you answer to. We'll build the controls and monitoring right into them, then stay to keep it all current as regulations move. You own everything we build.
