GovernAInce

AI governance sized to how you actually use AI

Your teams already use AI, from Copilot to customer-facing agents. I help you put the right controls on each use: light where the risk is low, rigorous where AI makes decisions that matter.

  1. Tier 1

    Light guardrails

    Staff drafting emails and summaries with Copilot or ChatGPT

    AI policy and approved tools, an AI register, risk and supplier checks, data rules, AI literacy

  2. Tier 2

    Managed use

    A chatbot answering customers from your knowledge base

    Adds impact assessment, testing before release, monitoring and logs, internal audit

  3. Tier 3

    Controlled operation

    An agent that updates records in your ERP or CRM

    Adds human approval before high-impact actions, fallback and recovery, technical documentation

  4. Tier 4

    Full lifecycle governance

    AI that screens job applicants or scores credit

    Adds the EU AI Act high-risk duties: quality management, conformity assessment and, where required, registration and a fundamental rights impact assessment

Every AI use case is scored on how autonomously it acts and what it can affect; the score sets its tier. Who built the model and who is exposed to it add specific controls, and AI you supply to others starts at Tier 3. Systems the EU AI Act classifies as high-risk land in Tier 4.

One policy doesn’t fit every AI use

Most AI governance programmes go wrong in one of two ways. Some are a single policy that auditors won’t accept. Others apply the same heavy process to every tool, so teams work around it.

GovernAInce looks at each AI use case on its own and sets controls in proportion to its risk. You spend effort where it matters, and every decision is written down with its reasoning, ready for an auditor, a regulator or a customer’s security questionnaire.

How an engagement works

  1. Scoping

    A short questionnaire and call about your size, your AI use and the rules you answer to. You get a fixed quote.

  2. AI inventory

    We map your AI use across the sources we agree with you, including AI built into the software you already buy, and record what was covered.

  3. Classification

    Each use case gets its tier and its legal role under the EU AI Act, such as deployer or provider.

  4. Gap analysis

    Your current controls are compared with the standards you choose. You can focus on one, such as only the EU AI Act.

  5. Roadmap and handover

    A prioritised plan, with the reasoning and evidence behind every control kept for later reviews and audits.

Services

AI Governance Gap Assessment

Typically 2–4 weeks, fixed price

The starting point for most clients. You get:

  • an inventory of your AI use cases, each with its tier and legal role
  • gaps against the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001, or the standards you choose
  • a prioritised roadmap: legal duties already in force first, each gap with the document that closes it and its effort

AI Governance Implementation

Typically 2–5 months, depending on your AI use and the rules you answer to

Policies, roles, processes and controls built to the tier of each use case: AI risk management, an AI register, data rules, human oversight, monitoring and incident handling.

AI security testing is available as a separate project, delivered by a dedicated testing team.

Standards covered

One control model, mapped to the frameworks your auditors and customers ask about, so you build once and show compliance many times.

  • EU AI Act
  • ISO/IEC 42001
  • NIST AI RMF

Linked to your existing obligations under NIS2, DORA and GDPR where they apply, to the Cyber Resilience Act for products with digital elements, and to EIOPA’s expectations for insurers.

Who you work with

GovernAInce is run by Dmytro Sirosh, a CISM-certified security leader with more than 20 years in security operations, architecture and compliance across telecom, banking and IT services.

I work remotely with clients in the EU and the Gulf, and travel for workshops where being in the room helps.

Start with a 30-minute call

We’ll go through where you use AI, what’s expected of you, and the two or three gaps to close first. No slides.
