AI is Here: Who’s in Charge?
Posted by: Ben MartinMooney
Everybody and their brother (and sister) is talking about AI—and for good reason. AI can be a tremendous business enabler. It can accelerate innovation, increase efficiency, enable better decision-making, lower costs, and deliver richer, more robust customer experiences.
But the pace of adoption indicates that many organizations are deploying AI without fully considering the security, privacy, and compliance implications.
It’s time for AI Governance.
Today, GuidePoint Security is rolling out a host of new services designed to guide the secure development, deployment, and use of AI across our clients’ environments. Our AI Governance Solutions provide a structured framework that enables responsible AI use while empowering organizations to innovate with confidence and speed.
Building AI Readiness from the Ground Up
At the heart of our approach is the concept of AI readiness—helping organizations lay the foundation to integrate AI securely, ethically, and in alignment with regulatory expectations.
GuidePoint AI Governance offerings include:
AI Model Discovery & Cataloging
Gain executive buy-in while surfacing all sanctioned and unsanctioned AI usage—including “Shadow AI.” This engagement documents ownership, use cases, data entitlements, and legal and regulatory considerations. The result is a detailed catalog that promotes accountability, ensures transparency, and supports data-driven governance.
AI Governance Strategy
Designed for organizations ready to build a holistic governance program, this engagement delivers a roadmap for responsible AI use. It covers everything from model discovery and classification to training, documentation, and oversight—alongside the development of policies, standards, and charters to guide long-term program execution.
AI Readiness Assessment
This service helps organizations assess their current preparedness for AI implementation. It evaluates policies, processes, and controls against governance requirements and produces a clear picture of current-state gaps—along with a prioritized roadmap to close them.
AI Governance Maturity Assessment
Benchmark existing AI governance efforts against the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to understand strengths and opportunities for improvement. The maturity scorecard includes actionable recommendations to elevate oversight, compliance, and risk mitigation.
AI Risk Assessment
Identify gaps that could expose the organization to regulatory fines, data breaches, or brand damage. This assessment prioritizes risks and outlines remediation strategies to better protect PII, IP, and other sensitive assets.
M&A AI Usage Assessment
As part of due diligence, understand how AI is being used by acquisition targets. This assessment combines automated model discovery with focused vulnerability testing, including alignment to the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs. It provides a clear view of inherited AI risk before a deal is signed.
Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or looking to refine and mature existing efforts, GuidePoint Security helps you build AI governance that’s as innovative as it is defensible.Let’s talk about how we can help your organization achieve AI readiness and lead with confidence.
