AIGovernance&Policy. Theframeworkyourboard,regulators,andcustomersexpect.
An AI Governance & Policy engagement gives your business a defensible position on how AI is used, by whom, with what data, and under what oversight. Aligned to Australian privacy law and the evolving AI regulatory landscape, designed to satisfy boards, auditors, and customers without strangling delivery.
What we deliver
A governance framework you can stand behind. Built to satisfy without strangling delivery.
Six concrete artefacts that take you from informal AI use to a defensible operating model. Designed to satisfy oversight obligations without slowing the business down.
AI Use Policy
A clear policy covering acceptable use, prohibited use, vendor selection, data handling, and disclosure. Written in plain English and aligned to your existing policy stack.
Risk Register
Strategic, regulatory, data, security, and adoption risks documented against each AI use case, with mitigations, owners, and review cadence. Built for audit, not for show.
Approval & Oversight Model
A simple gate model for approving new AI use cases, vendors, and integrations. Defines who decides, what evidence is required, and how decisions are recorded.
Data & Privacy Controls
Specific controls for consent, retention, access, vendor handling, and customer disclosure. Aligned to the Privacy Act and the evolving AI regulatory environment in Australia.
Incident Response Playbook
A defined response model for AI-related incidents covering hallucination, data leakage, vendor failure, regulatory inquiry, and customer complaint. Tested against realistic scenarios.
Training & Disclosure Pack
Plain-English training material for staff, plus customer-facing disclosure templates that demonstrate transparency without exposing the business to unnecessary risk.
Our strategic process
A four-week engagement. Defensible by design.
Four weeks from kickoff to a board-ready governance framework. Five phases with defined inputs and outputs, designed to produce a working document, not a binder.
Scoping & Stakeholder Workshop
Working session with leadership, legal, and risk to confirm scope, current AI use, regulatory exposure, and the oversight obligations the framework must satisfy.
Use Case & Vendor Inventory
We document every meaningful AI use across the business, including informal use of public tools. Each use case is mapped to data, vendors, and risk profile.
Policy & Controls Drafting
We draft the policy, controls, and oversight model in plain English, aligned to your existing risk and compliance stack. No off-the-shelf templates.
Incident & Disclosure Design
We design the incident response model and the customer-facing disclosure pack, then test both against realistic scenarios. Gaps surface before they hit production.
Review & Sign-Off
Final document reviewed with your leadership team, refined, and presented with a sixty-minute board briefing. You leave with a framework you can put into use immediately.
ROI focus
What it actually saves you.
Governance is rarely the line item that wins budget. It is the line item that prevents a regulator letter, a customer breach disclosure, or a board crisis from costing fifty times the engagement fee. The math on this one is straightforward.
A clear policy and oversight model converts informal, ungoverned AI use into a defined and auditable practice. The unknown surface area shrinks dramatically.
Engagements are scoped to produce evidence your board, auditor, and regulator can rely on. No follow-up project required.
A fixed-scope engagement designed to produce a working framework, not a multi-month policy review.
What you walk away with
- A defensible AI use policy aligned to your existing stack
- A risk register your auditor and board can rely on
- An approval and oversight model that does not strangle delivery
- Privacy controls aligned to Australian regulation
- An incident response playbook tested against real scenarios
Common questions
What people ask before they book.
Yes. Most businesses already have informal AI use that they are not tracking, and the cost of getting governance wrong rises sharply once delivery starts. The right time to put a framework in place is before the first significant rollout.
