AI Governance Services

Put clarity and controls around AI adoption

Governance That Enables Safe, Responsible AI

AI moves fast—so should your governance. We align business goals with a right-sized program that sets clear policies, a repeatable use-case review, and controls for data, models, and vendors. The result: teams know what’s allowed, how to assess risk, and which safeguards to apply—without slowing innovation.

Forgepath’s approach is framework-aware (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, sector expectations) but tailored to your organization. We define roles and decision gates, create lightweight documentation and workflows, and instrument operational checks so leaders see whether guardrails are working in practice. Deliverables include policy and process artifacts, control libraries, example patterns, and a roadmap with owners and milestones.

Policy to practice—end to end

Strengthen Your AI Security

We turn principles into daily operations: intake the use case, score risk, select controls, and monitor outcomes. Your program remains usable by builders and defensible to stakeholders.

Talk to An Expert

Build the foundation people can follow.

What we do: define acceptable use, data handling, human-in-the-loop rules, model/vendor onboarding, change control, and exceptions.
How we do it: map roles (product, engineering, security, legal), decision gates, required artefacts, and comms channels; provide short policy and SOP templates.
Output: a minimum viable AI governance set with RACI, issue routing, and versioning.

Decide “can we” and “how do we” with consistency.

What we do: create an intake form and risk/impact screen (data sensitivity, users, potential harms, external exposure, model/tool scope).
How we do it: apply a lightweight scoring rubric to select controls: guard prompts, retrieval filters, tool scopes, human review, and logging.
Output: a repeatable review package and decision record per use case.

Shrink the blast radius of data misuse and leakage.

What we do: classify data; set rules for training/finetuning vs. retrieval; define minimization/redaction; set retention and access.
How we do it: document allowed sources, metadata requirements, and redaction/aggregation steps; specify secrets isolation and privacy review touchpoints.
Output: data policies and control checks that protect PII/IP while preserving utility.

Bring third parties under the same guardrails.

What we do: create an evaluation checklist for foundation models, APIs, and hosted services (security, privacy, provenance, rate limits, SLAs).
How we do it: require artefacts (security whitepapers, DPA, regionality statements), define fallbacks, and set monitoring hooks for provider drift.
Output: vendor/model scorecards, onboarding criteria, and renewal reviews.

Know when guardrails fail—and what to do next.

What we do: define runtime signals (policy violations, sensitive output, tool side-effects), thresholds, and response playbooks.
How we do it: add logging/telemetry requirements, dashboards/KPIs, escalation routes, and periodic attestation of control performance.
Output: a living scorecard and operating rhythm (cadence, owners, actions).

Forgepath separates themselves from the rest as they’re a true security partner to Parsysco. They took the time to understand our requirements and how things were working with our previous provider.

We were impressed by how quickly they formulated a new strategy and approach. They helped us identify our challenges and consistently brought forward solutions that were in Parsysco’s best interest.

Most vendors only care about selling something, Forgepath took the personal relationship and partnership approach that we value greatly.
