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:
- A clear, defensible baseline for AI risk and governance
- Alignment with the AI frameworks and regulations that matter to you
- Prioritized, practical recommendations you can act on
- A shared view of AI risk for leadership, boards, and auditors
AI Posture Assessments
A clear, structured view of how your organization is positioned on AI risk, governance, andcapability. 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 riskbasis and give you prioritized recommendations against a recognized control objectiveframework.
AI Gap Assessment
Measure your whole AI program against a chosen external standard. You get a prioritizeddeficiency 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 getcurrent versus target maturity across every dimension, plus a phased roadmap with timelines andbudgetary 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 strategicalignment.
Risk Management
AI risk identification, assessment, monitoring, andmitigation.
Compliance & Legal
Regulatory compliance, legal frameworks, andaudit readiness.
Technical Controls
AI security, model validation, testing, andmonitoring.
Data Management
Data quality, privacy, protection, lineage, andgovernance.

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.

Scope
Define scope and objectives, select the applicable frameworks and requirements, and identify stakeholders.
Current State
Review policies and documentation, run workshops and interviews, and assess current controls.
Analysis
Identify gaps, score maturity, or evaluate risk against your chosen frameworks.
Roadmap
Prioritize by risk and impact, then build a phased roadmap with timelines and budgetary estimates.
Reporting
Deliver the report and AI controls dashboard ,and review findings with leadership.
Monitoring
Optional ongoing tracking and periodic reassessments.
Our Winning Approach to Privacy Impact Assessments
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.
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.
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.
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.
