AI Governance & Risk

Create accountable AI adoption before scale creates unmanaged exposure.

DTXI helps organizations establish policies, decision rights, use-case oversight, risk assessment, approval, monitoring, and reporting for responsible AI use.

Governance Lifecycle

Manage AI from idea to retirement.

The governance model should apply proportionate controls throughout the lifecycle rather than rely on a one-time approval.

01

Identify & classify

Maintain an inventory of AI use cases, tools, owners, data, vendors, intended users, business purpose, and risk tier.

02

Assess & approve

Evaluate impact, data use, security, privacy, legal, ethical, operational, and third-party considerations before deployment.

03

Implement controls

Apply policies, human oversight, access, testing, documentation, transparency, monitoring, and incident requirements.

04

Monitor & improve

Review performance, risk indicators, changes, incidents, vendor updates, control effectiveness, and retirement decisions.

Service Areas

The components of an enterprise AI governance capability.

DTXI adapts the model to the organization’s AI maturity, regulatory environment, use-case risk, and existing governance structures.

AI Governance Framework

Principles, governance bodies, decision rights, responsibilities, escalation, reporting, and integration with existing risk and technology governance.

AI Policies & Standards

Acceptable use, development and procurement requirements, data handling, human oversight, documentation, monitoring, incident, and exception expectations.

AI Use-Case Inventory

Structured registration of AI systems and use cases, business purpose, owners, data, vendors, risk tier, approval status, and review schedule.

AI Risk Assessment

Assessment criteria and risk registers covering impact, data, security, privacy, bias, reliability, transparency, legal, operational, and third-party concerns.

Approval & Oversight Workflow

Proportionate review gates, evidence requirements, accountable approval, conditions of use, residual-risk acceptance, and change triggers.

Monitoring & Reporting

Risk indicators, control status, incidents, material changes, vendor developments, performance concerns, and executive reporting.

Operating Model

Place accountability where decisions are made.

AI governance should connect business ownership, technology, information security, privacy, legal, risk, procurement, and internal assurance without creating an impractical approval bottleneck.

Typical Deliverables

Artifacts that turn principles into repeatable decisions.

Deliverables are designed to integrate with existing governance rather than create a separate document set that teams cannot operate.

Governance foundation

AI governance charter, operating model, roles, committee or forum design, decision rights, reporting, and implementation roadmap.

Policy framework

AI acceptable-use policy, standards, control requirements, procurement criteria, development guidance, and exception process.

Risk and approval toolkit

Use-case inventory, classification model, risk assessment, approval workflow, evidence checklist, risk register, and acceptance criteria.

Monitoring and assurance package

Control register, review schedule, metrics, incident triggers, change criteria, vendor-monitoring requirements, and executive reporting templates.

Frameworks provide structure, but the operating model must still reflect the organization’s actual decisions, use cases, and accountability.

Govern AI with Proportionate Control

Create a model that enables responsible use instead of blocking adoption.

DTXI can help establish the minimum viable governance foundation and mature it as AI use expands.
