MANAGED AI GOVERNANCE

Your AI. Your decisions. Less governance work.

Use Alterlayer with your own team, or have Alterlayer help operate the recurring governance work. Either way, your organization stays in control of ownership, validations and consequential decisions.

Optional: Named AI Governance Lead

A named lead can coordinate the agreed cadence and prepare governance work.

Discuss Managed AI Governance

Automate coordination. Keep accountability human.

Alterlayer automates parts of tracking and the record trail, and helps coordinate agreed work. Your people keep required validations and consequential decisions.

Keep the systems you already use.

Alterlayer adds an operating layer for enterprise AI without requiring you to replace the systems supporting your data, risk, compliance or business workflows.

Start with a focused assessment. Expand from there.

Begin with AI Audit Readiness to establish the current state and first governance priorities. Expand as your needs grow.

The operating workspace

Your AI governance work, in one place.

Alterlayer gives the people responsible for AI one operational view of what exists, who is responsible, what needs attention and what happened next.

Explore the approach

Build governance that stays current.

Govern the enterprise AI environment

Enterprise AI is distributed across business applications, AI services, internal systems, workflows and agents. A maintained AI Inventory provides a structured view of the AI Objects the organization has determined are relevant. It keeps the business context and responsibility needed to govern them as the environment changes.

Explore AI Inventory ↗

Keep human accountability at the center

Policies and frameworks establish expectations, but governance becomes operational through human Reviews and Decisions. Your organization retains authority over material business decisions. Alterlayer helps keep the question, the decision and subsequent Actions connected to the AI Object.

Explore the operating model ↗

Build evidence through normal work

A Governance Record preserves the context of completed Reviews and Decisions. Keeping Actions and supporting evidence connected to the governed AI helps teams explain how they reached the current state without reconstructing the history later.
