AI Governance & Readiness

Your company is already using AI. Can you prove it is being used responsibly?

Schedule an AI Readiness Conversation Request an AI Risk and Readiness Review

AI adoption usually happens before AI governance.

Employees begin using new tools. Teams upload company information. Vendors add AI features. Automated decisions start appearing inside ordinary workflows.

Then someone asks who approved it, what data is being shared, how the risks were evaluated, and where any of it is documented.

Syndesi helps companies answer those questions before a customer, regulator, insurer, employee, or board member asks them first.

What we review

An AI Governance & Readiness engagement can include the tools, decisions, data, and processes behind your company’s AI use.

An inventory of AI tools, systems, vendors, and internal use cases
Identification of sensitive, confidential, employee, and customer data exposure
Review of AI use in hiring, employee management, customer service, pricing, sales, insurance, lending, and other consequential decisions
Assessment of vendor contracts, security terms, data retention, and model-training provisions
Classification of AI use cases by business and legal risk, with legal questions referred to counsel
Review of human oversight and approval requirements
AI incident reporting and response procedures
Employee policies and training
Documentation needed for customer, insurer, board, legal, and procurement reviews
A prioritized remediation plan with clear ownership and deadlines

Businesses facing customer security and AI-governance questionnaires
Boards and executives who want clear ownership before an incident occurs
Companies preparing for future legal, insurance, contractual, or audit requirements

An important distinction

Syndesi provides business-focused AI governance assessments, process development, implementation support, and readiness reviews.

We do not provide legal opinions or represent that our work constitutes a statutory audit, legal certification, SOC examination, or regulatory approval.

When formal legal or independent assurance work is required, we can work alongside the company’s legal, accounting, security, and audit professionals.

AI governance does not begin with a hundred-page policy nobody reads.

It begins by knowing what tools are being used, what information they can access, who owns the decisions, and what happens when something goes wrong.

We help companies put that structure in place without bringing productive AI work to a halt.
