AI Value, Risk & Governance · Enterprise Architecture

Governance and management systems that create and protect value.

We help organizations identify opportunities for AI-driven improvement, integrate effective governance into their business processes, and independently assess whether their management systems work as intended.

Services

Three ways we work: we help you map your processes and the AI opportunities in them, we support the design and integration of AI governance into the management system you run, and we assess and audit independently.

Identify where AI can deliver measurable value, and keep the model that shows it.

  • The connected model of the selected processes
  • An AI opportunity portfolio with value, feasibility and risk
  • The governance each opportunity implies, and a roadmap

AI governance that works inside the management system you already run.

  • A scored gap register with evidence
  • A system design: shared processes, AI-specific additions, roles, the risk and impact method
  • Readiness before the certification body's own audit

Independent evidence that your controls and management systems work.

04AI Governance · the specialism

AI you can explain and account for — and a return you can show.

AI governance is an architecture discipline. Controls are designed where they can be enforced, inside the systems and processes that run the business, and integrated into the management system that already runs it. Four questions, four pages, and the longer arguments in Insights.

Standards & Expertise

Three standards, one discipline. We help establish and integrate the first; we audit and assess all three. Two instruments arrived in October 2026 and sit on the same system: EN 18286, the harmonised standard for the AI Act’s Article 17 quality management system, cited in the Official Journal on 14 October; and ISO/IEC 27090, the first standardised catalogue of security threats to AI systems.

Artificial intelligenceImplementation · integration · internal audits · assessmentsEN 18286, the AI Act’s Article 17 standard, for providers of high-risk AI systems

Are the AI's risks and effects governed, and is someone accountable? The AI management system, on its own or built into the one you already run.

Information securityInternal audits · assessmentsISO/IEC 27090: the security threats specific to AI systems

Is the information your processes depend on protected, and do the controls operate in the systems rather than on paper?

Does the process deliver what it should, every time, and does the organization learn when it doesn't?
