AI Governance
AI Governance Consulting
AI governance consulting for regulated enterprises, built to implement, not just advise.
definition
What It Covers
AI governance consulting covers the policies, controls, and technical infrastructure an organization needs to deploy AI under regulatory scrutiny, model risk assessment, framework design, compliance-as-a-service operations, and executive-level governance structure.
context
Why Enterprises Are Hiring for This in 2026
AI adoption has outpaced most organizations' governance maturity, and regulators have started to notice. The Federal Reserve's shift from SR 11-7 to SR 26-2, the EU AI Act's phased enforcement, and state-level AI rules in insurance and healthcare are turning AI governance from a nice-to-have into an audit requirement.

Our Services
Risk and Readiness Assessment
An honest evaluation of your current AI footprint, data maturity, and governance gaps, benchmarked against NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
Framework Design (NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, EU AI Act)
Translating those frameworks into concrete policies, controls, and workflows specific to your industry and use cases, not a generic template.
Model Risk Management and Compliance-as-a-Service
Ongoing model inventory, monitoring, and audit-trail operations, so governance doesn't stop the day the framework document is delivered.
Fractional CAIO and Governance Council Setup
Standing up the executive and cross-functional structure to own AI governance long after the engagement ends. See our dedicated fractional Chief AI Officer service for details.
differentiation
Kriv AI vs. Big 4 and Boutique Advisory
Large advisory firms structurally don't publish pricing for AI governance engagements, and their AI governance practices typically stop at the framework document. Kriv AI publishes engagement pricing and builds the governed system itself, evidenced by an AWS Marketplace NAIC AI Governance Assessment listing that already ranks organically, proof of a real, productized offering rather than a one-off engagement.
industry
By Industry
Healthcare and life sciences organizations need HIPAA-aligned governance with a BAA. Insurers need NAIC Model Bulletin-aligned model governance for underwriting and claims AI. Financial services organizations need SR 26-2-aligned model risk management. Each industry gets a governance framework built around its actual regulatory obligations, not a generic template with the industry name swapped in.
pricing
Pricing
Engagements start with a scoped readiness assessment and scale into a compliance-as-a-service retainer or a fractional CAIO relationship depending on your needs. See our pricing page for the current engagement floor and structure.
Straight answers
Frequently asked questions about AI Governance Consulting
What is AI governance consulting?
AI governance consulting builds the policies, controls, and technical infrastructure an organization needs to deploy AI under regulatory scrutiny, spanning risk assessment, framework design against standards like NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, and ongoing compliance operations.
How much does AI governance consulting cost?
Pricing depends on scope, from a one-time readiness assessment to an ongoing compliance-as-a-service retainer or fractional CAIO relationship. See our pricing page for the current engagement floor.
What does an AI governance consultant do specifically?
Assesses your current AI footprint and governance gaps, designs a framework mapped to the specific regulations you're subject to, and, with an implementation-focused firm, helps build the actual governed system rather than just documenting a plan.
What frameworks does AI governance consulting typically reference?
NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, and industry-specific frameworks like the Federal Reserve's SR 26-2 for financial services or the NAIC Model Bulletin for insurance.
Is Kriv AI a boutique or a Big 4-style firm?
Kriv AI is a boutique, implementation-focused firm. We publish our pricing and build the governed system directly, backed by a public accelerator portfolio and an AWS Marketplace NAIC AI Governance Assessment listing.
