AI Governance & Policy
Establish governance frameworks for AI coding assistant adoption. Get the documentation security, legal, and compliance teams need to say yes.
The Problem
Engineering wants to use AI coding assistants. Security and legal have concerns. Without clear governance, you get one of two outcomes:
- ✕Blocked: Security blocks all AI tools due to unclear risks, hurting productivity and morale.
- ✕Shadow IT: Developers use tools anyway, creating uncontrolled risk exposure.
Proper governance enables controlled adoption — teams get the productivity benefits while maintaining security and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What compliance frameworks do you support?
We have experience with SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and general enterprise security frameworks. We tailor the deliverables to your specific compliance requirements.
Do you work with our legal team?
Yes. We draft the initial policy documents and work with your legal team to finalize language. We don't provide legal advice.
What if we already have some policies?
We review existing policies and fill gaps rather than starting from scratch. This often shortens the engagement.
Does this cover all AI tools or just coding assistants?
This engagement focuses on AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, etc.). Broader AI governance is a separate engagement.
