AI Governance & Strategy

Build a Scalable and Compliant Foundation

Ensure responsible and compliant AI adoption by establishing robust governance frameworks tailored to your organization’s needs.

Enterprise Policy Development

Comprehensive AI policies that provide a foundation for ethical, secure, and responsible AI deployment across the organization. These policies define permissible use cases, roles and responsibilities, risk thresholds, data governance, and model lifecycle controls. Policies are tailored to align with industry norms and enterprise-specific risk appetites, and they ensure organizational clarity.

  • Purpose and scope of AI usage

  • Roles (e.g., model owner, approver, risk assessor)

  • Prohibited AI behaviors or use cases

  • Human-in-the-loop requirements

  • Documentation and audit trail expectations

Regulatory Alignment

Ensure enterprise AI efforts are compliant with evolving regulations by aligning both high-level governance structures and day-to-day operational processes with internationally recognized regulatory frameworks and technical standards. Proactively map your AI activities to standards like FDA’s GMLP guidance, the EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001’s to accelerate regulatory reviews, and enhance trust.

FDA

Address expectations for Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), including premarket submissions, real-world performance monitoring, and Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP).

EU AI Act

Align with AI system classifications (e.g., high-risk), ensuring that transparency, risk management, and human oversight obligations are met.

ISO/IEC 42001

Map internal governance practices to this AI management system standard to ensure global readiness and integration with existing ISO-based quality systems

AI Use Case Framework

Implement structured workflows to evaluate and approve AI initiatives before development begins. These frameworks provide a “go/no-go” decision point by assessing risk, compliance alignment, and technical feasibility.

  • Use-case intake templates and ethical risk assessments

  • Technical and regulatory review checkpoints

  • Automated gating based on risk tier (e.g., high-risk clinical vs. low-risk ops)

  • Model cards and governance documentation

  • Escalation triggers for governance board review

Cross-Functional Governance​

Establish formal bodies responsible for oversight, prioritization, and dispute resolution in enterprise AI programs. These groups ensure that AI development balances innovation with risk control across stakeholders.​

Escalation Pathways

  • Elevating high-risk models to executive review

  • Triggering red team assessments

  • Pausing deployment for compliance remediation

Stakeholders

  • Regulatory Affairs and Quality

  • R&D and Data Science

  • Legal and Compliance

  • Product and IT Leadership
