AI security & governance

AI Governance Program

From $3,000 (gap) CAD · scoped to you

AI is already in your organization, whether you governed it or not. We stand up a practical AI governance program (a usable AI policy, a risk register, a model and tool inventory, and human-oversight controls) so you can adopt AI on purpose and answer for it when customers or regulators ask.

AI work runs with our offensive-security partner Lorikeet, backed by five published CVEs and 20+ penetration testing engagements.

Built for teams that...

  • Companies adopting AI across products and internal workflows
  • Teams facing customer, board, or regulator questions about AI use
  • Organizations preparing for ISO 42001 or the EU AI Act
  • Leaders who want AI adoption to be deliberate and defensible

What we do

  • A practical AI acceptable-use policy your team will actually follow
  • An AI risk register that tracks and prioritizes real risks
  • An inventory of the AI models, tools, and vendors in use across the org
  • Human-oversight and accountability controls for higher-risk uses
  • Alignment with ISO 42001 and EU AI Act expectations where relevant

What you walk away with

You get a governance program that makes AI adoption deliberate and defensible: clear policy, a live risk register and model inventory, and oversight controls. It is the foundation for ISO 42001 or EU AI Act readiness.

Frequently asked questions

What does an AI governance program actually contain?

At minimum: an AI acceptable-use policy, a risk register, an inventory of the models and tools in use, and human-oversight controls for higher-risk uses. We tailor the depth to your size and risk.

How does this relate to ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act?

A governance program is the foundation both build on. We can align the program to ISO 42001’s AI management system structure and to EU AI Act obligations so later readiness work is faster.

We are small. Do we really need this?

The program scales down. Even a lightweight policy, inventory, and risk register put you well ahead of most peers and answer the AI questions customers are starting to ask.

Can you also secure the AI, not just govern it?

Yes. Governance pairs naturally with our AI security assessments, which test the systems themselves rather than just the policy around them.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

traztech Workspace Other GRC platforms
Licence cost $0. Free forever, no card, no paid tier $7,500 to $50,000 a year, on an annual contract
Control library, evidence register, policy templates, risk register, vendor questionnaires, readiness scoring Included Included
What it costs inside an engagement with us $0. You need a workspace either way Unchanged. The subscription sits on top of the fee
What it does to your audit quote $11,000 off a five-figure quote on one engagement, for a documented readiness position Nothing. The audit firm prices your readiness, not your tooling

Pricing in the right column is what compliance automation platforms are publicly reported to charge; none of them publish a number, so treat it as a range rather than a quote. The $11,000 came off the audit firm's own number once the readiness position was documented (the engagement). Where a paid platform is the better buy, and the fuller comparison, is on the Workspace page.

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation across 76 controls with zero exceptions, on a team of 15.

The platform held 99.9% uptime throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
