AI Govern 360

AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance Services

Assess, strengthen, and prove your AI governance, from a single AI system to your entire program.

Building Trusted, Compliant AI

AI Govern 360 is ISA Cybersecurity’s AI governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) practice. It gives you a clear, structured view of where your organization stands on AI risk, governance, and capability, then a practical path forward. We help you deploy secure, resilient, and responsible AI systems that are beneficial, compliant with laws and regulations, and aligned with your organization’s risk tolerance, whether you are evaluating a single AI application or scaling a program across the enterprise.

You benefit from:

AI Posture Assessments

A clear, structured view of how your organization is positioned on AI risk, governance, and capability. Choose the lens that fits where you are today.

AI Risk Assessment

Evaluate a specific AI application or infrastructure instance. We identify vulnerabilities on a risk basis and give you prioritized recommendations against a recognized control objective framework.

AI Gap Assessment

Measure your whole AI program against a chosen external standard. You get a prioritized deficiency list of what is missing, what is critical, and what to fix, plus an AI controls dashboard. Ideal if you are seeking compliance or are early in your AI program.

AI Maturity Assessment

Measure your program against a target maturity level using a capability maturity model. You get current versus target maturity across every dimension, plus a phased roadmap with timelines and budgetary estimates. Ideal for optimizing an existing program.

What We Assess

A holistic evaluation across your entire AI ecosystem, spanning eight dimensions.

Governance & Strategy

AI policies, governance structure, and strategic alignment.

Risk Management

AI risk identification, assessment, monitoring, and mitigation.

Compliance & Legal

Regulatory compliance, legal frameworks, and audit readiness.

Technical Controls

AI security, model validation, testing, and monitoring.

Data Management

Data quality, privacy, protection, lineage, and governance.

Ethical AI

Bias management, fairness, transparency, and explainability.

Operational Processes

AI lifecycle management, incident response, and change management.

People & Culture

AI skills, training, awareness, and clear roles and responsibilities.

Leading Frameworks & Standards

We are framework agnostic. We benchmark your AI program against the frameworks of yourchoice, drawn from the standards regulators, auditors, and boards already know.

How Our AI Posture Assessments Work

Every assessment follows the same backbone, tuned to the engagement. A Risk Assessmenttargets a specific AI system and scores it by risk. A Gap Assessment measures your whole programagainst a chosen standard. A Maturity Assessment scores your program against a target maturitylevel using a capability maturity model.

  1. Scope

    Define scope and objectives, select the applicable frameworks and requirements, and identify stakeholders.

  2. Current State

    Review policies and documentation, run workshops and interviews, and assess current controls.

  3. Analysis

    Identify gaps, score maturity, or evaluate risk against your chosen frameworks.

  4. Roadmap

    Prioritize by risk and impact, then build a phased roadmap with timelines and budgetary estimates.

  5. Reporting

    Deliver the report and AI controls dashboard ,and review findings with leadership.

  6. Monitoring

    Optional ongoing tracking and periodic reassessments.

Our Winning Approach to Privacy Impact Assessments

01

Initiate

Together we’ll define the scope of your Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), including common definitions and metrics. We’ll then develop a work plan and methodology to complete the assessment based on your requirements.

02

Privacy Program and Compliance Analysis

A thorough assessment of information and privacy governance structures including accountability, roles, and responsibilities is conducted. Business relationships and agreements with business partners, vendors and clients to identify governance processes are then reviewed. We’ll determine the adequacy of your policies and procedures including privacy policies, collection and consent, breach and audit protocols.

03

Identify Privacy Gaps and Risks

Strengths, weaknesses, and gaps with the organization’s relevant privacy principles are identified. Where appropriate, these are ranked and rated to the relevant threat scenarios and risks. A risk registry, complete with summaries and areas for tactical and strategic remediation will be created.

04

Deliver Results

Key findings – including prioritized recommendations based on the PIA or PRA and the organization’s risk management assertions – are documented in a formal report and presented to all necessary team members.

AI Governance, Risk & Compliance Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI GRC?

AI GRC stands for AI governance, risk, and compliance: the policies, risk assessments, and controls that let an organization adopt AI responsibly while meeting the oversight that boards and regulators expect. It extends traditional GRC, already established in cybersecurity, to the specific risks AI introduces. AI Govern 360 is ISA Cybersecurity's AI GRC practice.

What is AI Govern 360?

AI Govern 360 is ISA Cybersecurity's suite of AI governance, risk, and compliance services. It helps you deploy AI that is secure, compliant, and aligned with your organization's risk tolerance, and gives you the evidence to prove it.

Why does my organization need AI governance?

AI introduces new risks, including unclear ownership, opaque decisions, data exposure, bias, and fast-moving regulation. Governance gives you the policies, controls, and oversight to manage those risks while still moving quickly on AI.

What is an AI posture assessment?

It is a structured review of where your organization stands on AI risk, governance, and capability. Depending on your goals, it can focus on a specific AI system, your program against a chosen standard, or your overall maturity and roadmap.

Which frameworks and standards do ISA Cybersecurity's AI assessments align to?

We are framework agnostic and benchmark against the standards relevant to you, including the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, the EU AI Act, emerging Canadian legislation, OECD AI Principles, and industry-specific regulations.

How is AI governance different from cybersecurity governance?

The core pillars are the same: governance, assurance, engineering, detection, and response. AI adds concerns such as model behaviour, bias, explainability, and data provenance, and we apply proven cybersecurity discipline to these new challenges.

Where should we start with AI governance?

Most organizations start with an assessment to establish a clear, defensible baseline. From there, we help you prioritize and build out your AI GRC program.
