AI Governance
Quantum Risk Solutions advises mid-market and enterprise clients on the design, implementation and operation of governance frameworks for artificial intelligence. The firm works with organisations at all stages of AI adoption, from those establishing initial governance structures in response to internal or regulatory pressure, through to those seeking to mature existing arrangements as their use of AI scales across the business.
Engagements
- 01 The design and implementation of AI governance frameworks aligned with recognised standards, including ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and the emerging requirements of the EU AI Act.
- 02 The development of internal policy and operating procedures covering AI use, model risk, third-party AI services, and the responsibilities of business and technology functions in respect of AI systems.
- 03 The establishment of AI inventories and risk classification approaches, enabling organisations to identify, categorise and prioritise AI systems for governance attention.
- 04 Advisory support to senior leadership, boards and AI governance committees on emerging regulatory developments and their implications for the organisation.
- 05 Engagement with regulators and other external stakeholders on AI-related policy questions, including the development of organisational responses to consultation processes.
- 06 The design of operational processes for AI impact assessments, model evaluation, ongoing monitoring, and the controls necessary to ensure that AI systems perform as intended throughout their lifecycle.
- 07 The provision of outsourced or fractional AI governance leadership for organisations not yet ready to appoint a dedicated internal lead.
How we work
Effective AI governance is structural rather than declarative. Policy documents and statements of principle have their place, but they do not, in themselves, govern anything. The work of AI governance is in the design of operational processes that ensure those principles translate into how AI is built, procured, deployed and overseen across the organisation.
Quantum Risk Solutions approaches AI governance as a discipline that draws on regulatory understanding, privacy and security expertise, organisational design, and a clear-eyed view of what is workable in practice. The firm advises clients to build governance structures that are proportionate to the risks they are intended to address, that integrate with existing risk and compliance functions rather than duplicating them, and that are sustainable for the organisations expected to operate them.
The firm engages substantively with the regulatory landscape, including developments under the EU AI Act, the UK's evolving regulatory approach, and sector-specific guidance from financial services, healthcare and other regulators. Clients can expect advice that reflects current developments and an informed view on where the regulatory environment is likely to move next.
