The Management System for AI Governance

An Integrated Framework to Establish and Oversee a Defensible Program

Leaders today are tasked with fulfilling their oversight obligations in a world of fragmented AI guidance. Technical standards (NIST, ISO), new legislation (EU AI Act), and evolving case law provide critical but disconnected requirements, leaving boards and executives without a single, coherent system to manage risk and prove due diligence.

The AI RegRisk Readiness Program is the integrated framework designed to establish AI governance as a formal, auditable management system. It provides the essential blueprint for translating disparate authoritative sources into a unified program, enabling leadership to meet its oversight responsibilities with confidence and clarity.

The Core Philosophy

1
Strategic Oversight & Accountability
Ensures the board and C-suite fulfill oversight obligations, define AI risk appetite, and establish clear lines of authority.
2
Integrated Operational Governance
The connective tissue that translates strategic intent into consistent, enterprise-wide practice.
3
Tactical Execution for Unique AI Challenges
Tools, controls, and expertise required to manage novel AI challenges.
