AI Governance and Compliance
Approval processes, clear roles and policies, so AI use in your company stays compliant and under control. Governance built in from the start, not bolted on later.
Book your governance callWhat we do
AI without governance quickly leads to confusion and unnecessary extra work across the company. We put the framework in place so AI use stays traceable, documented and dependable.
- Build governance frameworks and practical risk management.
- Set up approval processes and clear roles and responsibilities.
- Run AI literacy, so people know what is allowed and why.
- Align with the EU AI Act and ISO 42001.
How we work
Together with you and your people, we set the right guardrails: for using AI, expanding it step by step, and communicating it across the company.
Governance stays proportionate: it gives AI use security and speed. It is built in early to avoid costly retrofits, and draws on years of experience in regulated environments.
What you get
- Clear policies, roles and responsibilities.
- A working approval process for AI use.
- Conformity with the EU AI Act and ISO 42001.
Frequently asked questions about AI governance
What is AI governance, and why do we need it?
AI governance is the framework of rules, roles, approval processes and risk management that keeps your AI use traceable, documented and legally sound. Without it, uncontrolled sprawl appears quickly: more than half of employees already use AI tools on their own, so confidential data leaves the company uncontrolled. Governance creates oversight and safety without slowing the value down.
What does the EU AI Act require of us, and from when?
The EU AI Act has been in force since 2025 and classifies AI by risk. Prohibited practices and the duty to ensure adequate AI competence have applied since February 2025, and the stricter obligations for high-risk systems take effect on 2 August 2026. Violations can cost up to 35 million euros or 7 percent of annual turnover. The first sensible step is an inventory of all AI systems in use, and we support you with it.
What is ISO 42001, and do we need a certification?
ISO/IEC 42001 has been, since December 2023, the first international standard for an AI management system. It builds roles, processes, controls and evidence in a structured way, and at the same time covers the core requirements of the EU AI Act. A certification is possible but not necessary for every company: the standard also serves as a proven guardrail without a certificate.
How do we deal with shadow AI?
Shadow AI, the covert use of unapproved AI tools, cannot be solved by bans alone. What works better is a clear framework: approved tools, understandable guidelines and good access to sanctioned tools, complemented by AI competence. That gives your staff safe alternatives, and the risks for data protection and liability drop noticeably.
Does governance slow AI use down?
No, when it is proportionate. Good governance provides just as much framework as needed for AI to be used safely and productively. We build it in early to avoid expensive retrofits, and position compliance as a competitive advantage. Trustworthy AI becomes a selling point rather than a burden.
All four pillars come together in the AI - CoAction program.
