Managed AI Governance
We run AI governance for you as a standing program: policy, evidence, intake, cost, and tooling, kept current as models and rules change. Framework mappings support readiness and review; framework readiness is not certification.

Governing AI has become a standing operational function
Policies age
Rules written last year do not cover this year’s models and vendors.
Evidence scatters
Proof lives in inboxes and spreadsheets until audit season.
Intake queues grow
New AI requests wait weeks for an answer.
Budgets drift
AI spend grows faster than anyone is tracking it.
Governance that keeps pace
One team runs policy, monthly operations, and evidence, and your owners sit in every review.

The monthly rhythm

Evidence on file
Evidence collects as the work happens, ready for the frameworks you answer to.
- EU AI Act
- ISO 42001
- NIST AI RMF
Audits met from standing records. Spend under control. Answers on new AI requests.
Eight functions, one program
We run everything it takes to govern AI in an enterprise, and we answer for it.
Policy operations
Who approves what, where the exceptions sit, and which version is in force.
Compliance evidence
Collected as work happens, organized for EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF.
Audit readiness
Audits answered directly from the records the program already holds.
AI intake and model review
New tools, models, and use cases reviewed and answered from one queue.
Committee and reporting
We run the governance committee and write the reporting executives act on.
Cost and budget management
We track AI spend against budgets and catch drift early.
Model optimization
Which models run where, changed when a cheaper or stronger one lands.
Tooling and procurement
We track the AI tooling market and govern purchases before the estate sprawls.
The quarterly brief
Every quarter the program writes the brief your executives and your auditors both need, from standing records.
- Posture against each framework you answer to
- Spend against budget, with variance explained
- Intake decided, model mix changes, and open gaps with owners
The talent bar
Every team we field carries substantial experience across five disciplines. Projects are led only by senior AI experts.
Behind the senior core sits our partnership with Elios: a deep bench across AI and software engineering.

- IT

Start with a diagnostic or a quarter
Run one quarter and judge the program by its brief.
Governance readiness review
A structured read of your policies, evidence, intake, and spend against the frameworks you answer to. You leave with the gap list and the plan.
Book a readiness reviewThe first quarter
Run one quarter of the program: monthly operating reviews, the intake queue, and a quarterly executive brief at the end. Then decide.
Talk about a first quarter
Questions buyers ask
How long is an engagement?
Most programs start with one quarter, then renew annually. The first quarter covers setup, three monthly operating reviews, and the first executive brief.
Who on our side needs to be involved?
A named owner for security, one for compliance or risk, and a finance contact for AI spend. We run the cadence around them.
How does this work with the First Recon platform?
The program runs on the platform’s decision records, so evidence and spend reporting come from the same data that enforces policy. We also work alongside other tooling.
How is it priced?
A fixed quarterly fee sized to the number of business units and frameworks in scope, quoted after the readiness review.
