03 · ONGOING RETAINER

AI Governance-as-a-Service

Continuous compliance monitoring, regulatory update integration, new AI system assessment,
and audit support  so your governance infrastructure stays current as enforcement begins.

 

WHY ONGOING MATTERS

Implementation is the beginning, not the end.

The EU AI Act does not end with initial compliance. From August 2026, active enforcement begins. The European AI Office, national competent authorities, and sector regulators will issue guidance, investigate complaints, and conduct audits. New Annex III interpretations will change the classification landscape. Your organisation will deploy new AI tools that require assessment.

AI Governance-as-a-Service keeps your compliance infrastructure operational and current through a structured monthly retainer that handles the ongoing work so your team does not have to.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Monthly, quarterly, and on-demand.

Monthly intelligence briefings


Regulatory updates from the EDPB, European AI Office, and national competent authorities translated into specific governance actions relevant to your organisation and sector.


MONTHLY · WRITTEN REPORT

AI Inventory & Risk Register


A living register of every AI system in use classified by EU AI Act risk level, with owner, purpose, and status tracked in Microsoft Lists. No spreadsheet, no guesswork.

ON-DEMAND · AUTO-WORKFLOW

Copilot Studio Agents


Intake workflows built in Copilot Studio for FRIA requests, DSAR submissions, and new AI use case reviews triggered from Teams, logged automatically, and routed to the appropriate reviewer.


QUARTERLY · BOARD-READY REPORT

REGISTER MAINTENANCE


Structured site architecture with document libraries for FRIAs, DPIAs, governance policies, incident records, and audit artefacts. Controlled permissions, version history, and sensitivity labels applied.


ONGOING · MANAGED UPDATES

DELIVER MODEL

Remote-first. Fully documented.
No internal overhead.

Every GaaS activity is delivered remotely and documented in your Evidence Vault. Monthly briefings are written reports, not calls so your team receives the intelligence without calendar load. Quarterly health checks include a structured meeting with your compliance lead or legal counsel.

What your team provides: notification of new AI deployments (via the Copilot Studio intake agent), access to relevant business context during quarterly reviews, and escalation decisions on high-risk findings. Everything else is handled through the governance infrastructure already in place.

Keep your compliance infrastructure current.

GaaS is typically engaged following a Compliance-in-a-Box deployment.
