AI governance and policy
Staff in most businesses are using AI already, and the business has no written position on it. We write that position: the AI section of the acceptable use policy, in plain language, with the simple rules around it, so the confidential information the business runs on stays protected and people know where they stand.
- 01
The AI section of your acceptable use policy
Most businesses are rewriting their acceptable use policy to say something about AI. We write that section in plain language anyone in the business can follow, and it is the right first step.
- 02
What goes in, and what stays out
Which AI tools people may use, what information they may put into them, what stays out, and how the confidential information the business has already identified stays protected inside the tools it has licensed.
- 03
Shaped by how your people work
The policy is shaped by what we hear in the champion training sessions and the process audit. Written that way it reflects how your people actually work, which means it gets followed.
- 04
Ready for the board
The sign-off points, the record keeping, the data rules and who owns each of them, drafted so the board can adopt the policy as it stands and revisit it as tools change.
Why it matters more for some businesses
For a listed company the confidential information reaches resource models, contract terms and anything market sensitive. For an accounting firm it is client files under professional obligations. For a school it is student records. The policy is written against the standards that apply to your business, so your own compliance work can point at it. The standards we build to are on the ethics and governance page.
How it is delivered
Governance and policy is usually delivered a few weeks into an engagement, once the champion training and the process audit have shown how your people work. It can also be taken on its own. Everything we produce is handed to you in full, and we sit behind whoever leads AI inside the business.

Bring the policy you have, or the question your board is asking. We will tell you what the AI section needs to say for your business and what it would take to write it.
