AI governance, designed for the EU AI Act era.
Enterprise AI strategy, risk tiering, policy and operating model, aligned to the EU AI Act, ICO guidance and ISO/IEC 42001.
Governance that actually lets your teams ship.
Bad AI governance stops teams working; good AI governance sets the guardrails and then gets out of the way. We design governance that scales with use-case volume and maps cleanly to the risk tiers the EU AI Act, the FCA and the ICO already expect.
Before work begins, we clarify the operating context, governance expectations, and commercial pressures behind the brief. That gives the engagement a clear purpose before technical analysis starts.
The result is a more complete advisory view: what matters now, where risk may surface next, and how recommendations can be implemented without creating unnecessary hand-offs or ambiguity.
Scope
Clarify the decision, deadline, stakeholders, and evidence standard before work begins.
Delivery
Combine partner judgement, technical review, and practical implementation planning in one workstream.
Follow-through
Convert findings into owners, actions, and next steps that leadership can track after the session.
Audit firm AI support
Model inventories, ethics gates and documentation workflows so audit-grade AI pilots stay independent, explainable and file-ready.
Policy & principles
Responsible-AI principles, prohibited-use policy, and the accountable executive.
- Board-approved AI principles
- Accountable executive (SMCR-aligned)
- Prohibited-use register
Operating model
AI governance committee, model catalogue, pre-deployment gates and documentation standards.
- AI governance committee
- Model catalogue
- Pre-deployment review
Monitoring & assurance
Drift monitoring, incident response, third-line assurance and regulator-ready documentation.
- Drift & fairness monitoring
- Incident response
- Third-line assurance
One framework, multiple regulators.
We design governance frameworks that answer the EU AI Act, FCA model risk expectations, ICO data protection guidance and ISO/IEC 42001 simultaneously - because maintaining four separate frameworks is not operationally feasible.
- EU AI Act risk tiering
- FCA AI / ML model-risk expectations
- ICO AI & data-protection guidance
- ISO/IEC 42001 AIMS certification
About AI strategy & governance.
By tiering use cases. Low-risk productivity use cases go through a light-touch review; high-risk decisioning use cases go through the full gate.
