The problem

You are deploying AI into an environment where being wrong is expensive, and the accountability to govern it has not arrived at the same speed as the capability.

The regulation is already here. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 defines a management system for AI. The EU AI Act assigns obligations by risk tier. Your existing regime, whether DO-178C, NERC CIP, 21 CFR Part 11, or GxP, now extends to the AI in scope. Each one presumes a person who owns AI accountability, can show what the system may accept, and can produce the record on demand.

Most leaders cannot yet fill that seat. Hiring a full-time chief AI officer for a program still finding its shape is premature and slow. Just as the EU’s GDPR created the Data Protection Officer overnight, this era is creating a role that must exist whether or not you have hired for it. Until you do, the exposure is yours.

What we do

We serve as your retained AI officer: a senior, independent seat accountable for AI governance across your deployed systems, without the cost or lead time of a full-time executive hire.

We do not sell you a product and walk away, and we do not resell the tools we assess. We take ownership of the accountability chain: what your AI is permitted to accept, how that permission is enforced, and how you prove both to a regulator. The controls we design for you are the controls we already run on our own governed systems every day. If we could not pass our own audit, we would not sell you ours.

The engagement is retained and monthly, sized to your program. You get a named principal in the seat, not a rotating bench.

How it works

Establish the baseline. We inventory your in-scope AI systems, map each to its binding frameworks, and identify where accountability, controls, and evidence are missing today.
Set admissibility controls. We define, in writing, what each system is allowed to accept, act on, and refuse: a documented boundary an auditor can trace.
Stand up the evidence trail. We put audit-ready records in place so that “what is our AI allowed to do, and what did it do” has an answer you can produce on demand.
Hold the seat. We review deployments, sign off on changes, keep your control set current as frameworks evolve, and represent AI governance in audits.
Report to leadership. A standing account of posture, open risks, and recommendations, in the register your board and your regulator both understand.

What you get

A named, senior AI officer in a retained monthly seat.
An inventory of your in-scope AI systems, each mapped to its binding frameworks.
A documented admissibility control set: what each system may accept, act on, and refuse.
Audit-ready evidence and record-keeping for AI decisions, changes, and behavior.
Change review and sign-off on new and modified AI deployments.
A standing governance report for leadership, with open risks and recommendations.
Representation of AI governance in audits and regulatory engagements.

Frameworks we map to

ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO/IEC 27001, the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, DO-178C for aerospace and defense, NERC CIP for energy and utilities, 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP for life sciences, and SR 11-7 for financial services. We hold one accountable chain across every framework in your scope.

Who it’s for

Regulated enterprises in aerospace, defense, energy, life sciences, and financial services deploying AI into production. Organizations that a framework now obligates to own AI accountability. Leaders who need the seat filled now, and for whom a full-time chief AI officer is premature or hard to source.
