Fractional AI CISO & Governance Advisory

Govern your AI before your regulator does it for you.

RegulateAI/ML builds AI security and governance programs for enterprises that are shipping AI faster than their compliance function can follow. EU AI Act readiness, AI security architecture, and fractional CISO leadership, delivered by practitioners who run this at enterprise scale.

Whereas enforcement timelines do not wait for architecture reviews, and whereas every AI system your teams deployed last quarter is already in scope of someone's regulation: the organizations that fare best are the ones that governed themselves first.

The Services

Three articles. One obligation: an AI program that survives scrutiny.

Every engagement is scoped in writing, staffed by the person you spoke to, and measured against criteria we set together before work starts.

Article 1

AI Governance Advisory

Scope: assessment & strategy

A structured assessment of where your AI estate actually stands against the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001, ending in a prioritized roadmap your board can fund and your engineers can execute.

  • AI system inventory and risk classification
  • Gap assessment against applicable regimes
  • Governance operating model design
  • Board and executive briefings
Article 2

AI Security Architecture

Scope: implementation

Hands-on security architecture for the AI you're deploying now: LLM gateways, RAG pipelines, agentic identity, model access control, and the cloud infrastructure underneath all of it.

  • AI gateway and guardrail architecture
  • Agentic AI identity and least privilege
  • RAG and data pipeline security review
  • Cross-border data architecture (GDPR, PIPL, DSL)
Article 3

Fractional AI CISO

Scope: ongoing retainer

Senior AI security leadership without the executive headcount. We own your AI risk agenda on a fractional basis: policy, vendor reviews, incident readiness, and the standing answer to "who owns AI risk here?"

  • Monthly risk posture reporting
  • AI vendor and model security reviews
  • Policy and standard authorship
  • Regulator and audit response support
Coverage

The domains where AI risk actually lives.

Not a maturity model in a slide deck. These are the places where AI programs fail audits, leak data, or grant an agent more access than any employee has ever held.

GOV

Regulatory readiness

EU AI Act classification, conformity obligations, technical documentation, and the evidence trail a notified body or regulator will ask for first.

AGT

Agentic AI identity

Machine-speed identity for AI agents: scoped credentials, short-lived tokens, human accountability chains, and kill switches that work.

DATA

Data governance for AI

What your models train on, retrieve from, and emit. DSPM for AI pipelines, cross-border transfer constraints, and retention that matches your promises.

INFRA

Cloud AI infrastructure

The CNAPP-grade security posture underneath the models: identity, network boundaries, secrets, and the misconfigurations that turn a pilot into a headline.

The Clock

The EU AI Act is not a future problem.

Key enforcement milestones. If your organization touches the EU market, some of these already apply to you.

Feb 2025 · In force

Prohibited practices ban

Unacceptable-risk AI systems banned outright, and AI literacy obligations began for providers and deployers.

Aug 2025 · In force

GPAI model obligations

Transparency, documentation, and copyright obligations for general-purpose AI model providers, with the governance structures behind them stood up.

Aug 2026 · Now

General applicability

The bulk of the Act applies, including the high-risk obligations most enterprise deployers have been deferring. This is the milestone most compliance programs planned backward from, and many missed.

Aug 2027

High-risk systems in regulated products

Extended transition ends for AI systems embedded in products already covered by EU product safety law.

The Method

Assess. Architect. Operationalize. Attest.

Governance that lives in a binder fails. Every phase ends in something your teams run without us in the room.

Assess

Inventory the AI estate, classify risk, and map it against every regime you're exposed to. Two to four weeks, ending in a written findings report.

Architect

Design the controls: technical architecture, policy, and the operating model that assigns every AI risk a named owner.

Operationalize

Implement with your engineers, not around them. Controls land in code, pipelines, and runbooks, gated by your existing review process.

Attest

Build the evidence trail: documentation, metrics, and audit artifacts that hold up in front of a regulator, a customer, or your own board.

The first conversation is a readiness review, not a pitch.

Sixty minutes. You describe what your organization is deploying; we tell you where you're exposed and what we'd fix first, whether or not you hire us.
