Systemic Assurance
Governance is not red tape.
It is your license to innovate.
We replace "Shadow AI" with secure, sovereign frameworks. From the AI Manifesto to ISO 42001 certification, we build the guardrails that allow you to go fast.
How does UK AI Governance differ from the EU?
The UK employs a principles-based, decentralised approach to AI governance, emphasizing proportionality and innovation. Unlike the prescriptive EU AI Act, UK SMEs are governed by existing regulators (ICO, FCA) enforcing core principles like fairness and accountability. For business leaders, this means compliance is outcome-focused, often requiring frameworks like ISO 42001 to demonstrate "Duty of Care" under the Companies Act 2006.
The Ignite AI Manifesto
Governance starts with culture. Before we touch the code, we install the "Shield," the "Heart," and the "Engine."
1. The Shield (Safety)
Governance & Risk
If you don't have an AI strategy, you have a security breach. We leverage military-grade COMSEC principles to protect IP and mitigate "Shadow AI" risks.
2. The Heart (Culture)
Education & Buy-in
The barrier isn't code; it's fear. We act as Cultural Transformation Guides, moving your workforce from the "fear zone" to the "growth zone" via our 90-day CHANGE program.
3. The Engine (System)
Automation & Agents
We audit workflows to identify low-value admin. We replace manual drudgery with autonomous AI agents, freeing leadership to focus on strategy.
