Services / AI Governance & Assurance
AI risk doesn’t begin when an organization builds its own model — it begins the moment employees send information to public AI tools, or vendors embed models into business platforms.
Good governance answers basic but difficult questions: which systems use AI, what decisions do they influence, what data do they receive, who approved them, and who can suspend their use. Many organizations already use AI without a complete inventory, a common approval process, or a defined owner for the resulting risk.
Secalyx distinguishes two governance questions — enterprise use of AI, and AI within your own products — because the risks and assurance evidence differ, then builds governance around your actual use cases rather than a generic AI policy. Controls are aligned, where appropriate, with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001 — used to organize decisions, not as a substitute for analyzing your actual use.
Regulatory interpretation remains the responsibility of your legal counsel, and product owners, data owners, and model providers retain responsibility for AI decisions and outcomes.
Business purpose, owner, model/provider, data involved, and level of human review for each use case.
Criteria for what needs formal assessment, additional safeguards, executive approval, or restriction.
Acceptable-use policy, intake and approval workflow, vendor and model-provider due diligence.
Data disclosure risk, insecure integrations, prompt manipulation, provenance, and monitoring for AI-enabled products.
Reassessment triggers, performance and security monitoring, exception handling, AI incident escalation, and controlled retirement.
The final scope, exclusions, responsibilities, timeline, and expected outputs are agreed before work begins.
AI governance works best as a repeatable decision process, not a one-time policy document — every use case moves through the same stages.
