AI Governance Setup

Build the governance infrastructure for your AI portfolio — aligned to the EU AI Act, grounded in AI Ownership and Lifecycle Governance, and designed to scale with autonomy.

The Problem This Solves

“We have AI systems in production with no formal governance structure. The EU AI Act is coming into enforcement. We need governance that is real — not a policy document that exists on paper and nowhere else.”

Governance without organizational substrate fails. This engagement builds D03 — System Governance and D04 — Decision Architecture for your organization: the risk tiering framework, the AI Ownership model, the Lifecycle Governance processes, the Decision Rights Registry, and the Feedback Loop structure that makes governance operational rather than theoretical.

The EU AI Act provides the regulatory framework; the HandsOn governance architecture provides the organizational infrastructure to comply with it sustainably — and to use that infrastructure as a growth catalyst rather than a compliance burden.

Deliverables

Classification of all AI systems by risk tier with defined controls, gate processes, and compliance requirements per tier. Covers all current production systems and a forward-looking framework for planned deployments.

Named AI Owner and AI Steward for every production system. Accountability chains, escalation protocols, and decision authority mapped to organizational roles — not job titles.

Formal authority record for major AI decision types: autonomy level assigned, who authorized it, under what evidence standard, and with what recalibration cadence. The operational core of D04 Decision Architecture.

Signal capture protocols, aggregation processes, and routing procedures — owned by named AI Stewards per system. Ensures governance remains responsive to real-world AI behaviour rather than theoretical risk models.

Key Deliverables

EU AI Act compliance classification
AI Ownership & Stewardship model
Decision Rights Registry (initial population)
