AI Governance Readiness Assessment
We evaluate your current AI governance maturity and identify gaps across policy, risk management, security, privacy, vendor oversight, documentation, and operational control.
Assessment areas may include:
Current AI usage across departmentsExisting AI-related policies and proceduresAI approval and review workflowsSecurity and privacy controlsVendor risk management practicesData handling rulesEmployee AI usage expectationsExecutive oversight and reportingAI incident response readinessAlignment with internal risk and compliance programsAI Asset Inventory and Use Case Register
Organizations cannot govern what they cannot see.
We help identify and document AI systems, tools, vendors, models, workflows, and use cases across the business.
Inventory may include:
Internal AI toolsPublic AI tools used by employeesSaaS platforms with embedded AICustomer-facing AI systemsInternal copilots and assistantsAI-enabled analytics toolsAI used in development workflowsthird-party AI vendorsLLM, RAG, agentic, and automation-based systemsSensitive data flows connected to AI systemsThe result is a clearer view of where AI exists, who owns it, what data it touches, and what risk it introduces.
AI Acceptable Use Policy
We create or refine practical AI acceptable use policies that employees can understand and follow.
Policy areas may include:
Approved and prohibited AI useSensitive data restrictionsCustomer data handlingConfidential business informationIntellectual property protectionsEmployee accountabilityHuman review requirementsAI-generated content rulesCode generation and software development use Public AI tool usageEscalation and exception handlingThe goal is not to slow AI adoption. The goal is to prevent avoidable mistakes that create legal, privacy, security, or reputational exposure.
AI Risk Assessment
We help assess AI risks by use case, business impact, data sensitivity, system exposure, and control maturity.
Risk areas may include:
Sensitive data leakageUnauthorized access or excessive permissionsUnreliable or misleading outputsCustomer-impacting decisionsOperational dependency on ai outputsVendor and third-party ai riskModel misuse or abusePrivacy and confidentiality exposureIntellectual property riskCompliance and audit riskLack of human oversightUnsafe automation or agentic actionsEach risk is documented in a way leadership, security, compliance, legal, and technical teams can act on.
AI Risk Register Development
We help organizations create an AI risk register that tracks risk ownership, likelihood, impact, control status, remediation plans, and review cadence.
A practical AI risk register may include:
AI system or use case nameBusiness ownerTechnical ownerData classificationRisk descriptionAffected stakeholdersLikelihood and impactExisting controlsControl gapsRemediation planTarget dateResidual riskApproval statusReview frequencyThis gives leadership a structured view of AI exposure instead of scattered concerns and informal decisions.
AI Policy and Procedure Development
Digital Warfare can create or update AI governance documentation to fit your operating environment.
Common documents include:
AI Governance PolicyAI Acceptable Use PolicyGenerative AI Usage PolicyAI Risk Management ProcedureAI Vendor Review ProcedureAI System Approval ProcedureAI Data Handling StandardAI Incident Response ProcedureAI Human Oversight ProcedureAI Logging and Monitoring StandardAI Model and Use Case Inventory ProcedureAI Exception Management ProcedureEach document is written to be usable by real teams, not just filed away for compliance.
AI Vendor Risk Management
Many organizations inherit AI risk through third-party vendors and SaaS platforms.
We help review AI vendors and AI-enabled services for security, privacy, contractual, operational, and governance concerns.
Vendor review areas may include:
AI functionality and data usageCustomer data processingModel training and retention practicesData sharing and sub-processorsPrivacy and confidentiality controlsSecurity documentationAccess control and loggingBreach notification expectationsAI output reliability and limitationsContractual protectionsRegulatory and customer assurance needsExit strategy and data deletion expectationsThis helps procurement, legal, security, and compliance teams make better decisions before AI vendors become embedded in business operations.
Shadow AI Discovery and Control
Employees often adopt AI tools before the organization has approved them.
We help organizations identify and manage shadow AI risk through policy, discovery, education, control design, and approval workflows.
Focus areas include:
Public AI tool usageBrowser-based AI toolsEmployee productivity toolsUnsanctioned AI pluginsAI features inside SaaS platformsUnapproved data uploadsConfidential information exposureBusiness unit exceptionsApproved tool alternativesEscalation and review processThe goal is not to punish innovation. The goal is to give employees safe, approved paths for using AI.
AI Control Framework Mapping
We help map AI governance controls to existing security, privacy, and compliance programs.
Depending on your environment, mapping may support::
NIST AI RMFISO/IEC 42001 readinessNIST CSFNIST SP 800-53r5ISO 27001SOC 2Privacy programsVendor risk programsSecure sdlc programsInternal audit requirementsBoard reporting expectationsThis helps your organization show that AI risk is being managed through recognizable, structured controls.
AI Incident Response Readiness
AI-related incidents require clear escalation paths, technical review, legal input, communications planning, and business decision-making.
We help define how your organization should respond to AI-related events such as:
Sensitive data entered into unauthorized AI toolsAI system data exposurePrompt injection or AI workflow abuseUnauthorized AI tool actionsIncorrect AI outputs causing business impactVendor AI incidentsCustomer-facing AI failuresModel or retrieval manipulationUnexpected AI behaviorPolicy violations involving AI systemsYour incident response process should account for AI-specific evidence, ownership, containment, communications, and remediation.
Human Oversight and Accountability
AI governance should make clear where human review is required, who is accountable, and when AI outputs cannot be used without validation.
We help define oversight expectations for:
Customer-impacting outputsRegulated or sensitive decisionsFinancial, legal, healthcare, security, or hr-related use casesAi-generated codeAi-generated reports or analysisAutomated workflowsAgentic systems with tool accessHigh-risk ai use casesExceptions and escalationsHuman oversight reduces reliance on blind automation and helps preserve accountability.
