AI Readiness & Governance
Access Point Consulting’s AI Readiness and Governance service prepares your business to successfully embrace this powerful technology within a secure, business-driven framework. In preparing governance guidelines around artificial intelligence, we help organizations understand how to develop, use, and secure AI while maintaining the technology’s advantages for the business.
A new arena for productivity and peril
Generative artificial intelligence – large-language models (LLMs) and similar technologies – represent an incredible opportunity for many businesses. Because of their complexity and the extent to which they are still being developed, they also carry an extraordinary level of risk. Staying on top of regulations, technology advancements, and criminal actors is a critically important endeavor.
AI data CIA
The CIA – Confidentiality, Integrity, and Access – of the data used to build the AI model is a critical issue from nearly every perspective. Lawmakers have their eyes on personal data, companies need intellectual property to remain confidential, and no one needs data they can’t trust. Building the right controls to protect and govern data gives companies a proactive advantage in the battle to create useful AI.
AI model CIA
Your model is the beating heart of your generative AI infrastructure. Protecting it from harm, whether intentional or accidental, internal or external, is vital to preventing a runaway model from derailing your company. Understanding the risks and building the control infrastructure to mitigate them will keep your AI engine working to benefit your business.
Staying ahead of regulation
Regulators and lawmakers around the world are looking at generative AI with skeptical, and sometimes poorly informed, eyes. Coming to depend on an AI model that could become out of compliance with new laws represents a risk growing businesses need not tolerate. Professional monitoring of the legislative and regulatory landscapes gives companies the chance to build and use their AI in ways that will bring long-term, stable benefits.
The risks of lowered trust
Generative AI can be a powerful tool for business results but it can also damage a business with new vulnerabilities and results that can’t be trusted. The right set of controls and practices can heighten the trustworthiness of AI-generated results while reducing the chances of harmful and dangerous findings.
Customized policies and controls
Access Point Consulting dives in to understand your business before developing policies, standards, and procedures tailored to your company, ensuring that AI compliance aligns with your unique environment, industry requirements, and rapidly evolving regulations.
Proactive risk management
Identifying potential vulnerabilities early allows Access Point Consulting to help prioritize risk remediation efforts and maintain resilient security measures to maintain a risk posture that fits within your risk appetite.
Expert solutions
Many organizations lack the time, budget, or specialized talent to manage AI governance effectively, increasing the risk of CIA damage. Access Point Consulting’s expert team provides the talent and personnel to make solid controls and governance a reality.
Continuous monitoring and automated response
AI models evolve with new data. AI technology evolves at lightning speed. Access Point Consulting constantly monitor both to make sure your business’s model is securely working at its best for your needs.
Clear roles and responsibilities
Defining, training, and maintaining AI models, as well as managing the applications and automation tools powered by them, often spans multiple business units and management roles. Access Point Consulting helps define clear roles and lines of responsibility across your organization, ensuring accountability at every stage—from model creation and deployment to ongoing operation and security.
