AI Governance: From uncontrolled adoption to a governed, traceable, and compliant model

We design, implement, and operate the AI Governance model that turns risk into a controlled competitive advantage aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act.

Trusted by organizations already governing their AI adoption with auditable evidence

The problem isn’t AI; it’s the lack of control

AI is in your organization; control is not—yet

According to Gartner, most organizations adopting AI do so without a common framework to inventory systems, classify risks, assign responsibilities, or generate evidence. This leads to regulatory uncertainty, operational risk, and invisible shadow AI.

Shadow AI and Incomplete Inventory

Teams adopt AI tools on their own: Copilot, ChatGPT, code generators, proprietary models. The organization doesn’t know which AI systems it has, who uses them, for what purpose, or with what data. Without an inventory, governance is impossible.

Regulatory Pressure: AI Act + ISO/IEC 42001

The EU AI Act classifies AI systems by risk level and imposes obligations for documentation, impact assessments, and human oversight. Without a governance model, you cannot demonstrate compliance to regulators, auditors, or strategic clients.

AI That Doesn't Scale Without Control

Isolated AI projects, without decision traceability, measurable ROI, or coordination between business, technology, data, and security. AI grows as accumulated technical and regulatory debt that hinders scalability and trust.

The common pattern: organizations prioritize the speed of AI adoption over control. When an audit, regulatory requirement, or incident occurs, they lack the inventory, evidence, and identified stakeholders to respond.

Where does the real cost appear in your organization?

Regulatory non-compliance. Exposure to sanctions from the AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and sector-specific regulations without auditable evidence or risk classification.

Uncontrolled Shadow AI. AI tools adopted without oversight, usage policies, data control, or identified stakeholders.

Decisions without traceability. Systems that make or assist in critical decisions without logs, documented human oversight, or explainability mechanisms.

Loss of trust and ROI. Without governance, it is impossible to measure the value of AI, prioritize investments by risk/viability, or justify ROI to the business and executives.

Lack of identified stakeholders. Without a RACI matrix or governance committee, no one has the authority or obligation to respond when something fails.

AI that doesn’t scale without control. Isolated projects, lacking coordination between business, technology, data, and security, which accumulate technical and regulatory debt.

AI Governance: Diagnosis · Design · Implementation · Operation

E2E AI Governance: Not just policies, but real operation

The MTP approach combines governance, compliance, risk, quality, and real operation into a single service. We don’t stop at defining policies: we operationalize the model through processes, roles, controls, evidence, KPIs, committees, and continuous improvement.

Beyond Policies: Real Operational Governance
AI system inventory, risk classification, impact assessments, RACI matrix, control catalog, auditable evidence, KPIs, and dashboards. The model works; it doesn’t just exist in a document.
Native Regulatory Alignment by Design
The AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001 are complementary: the former establishes regulatory obligations, while the latter structures the internal management system. MTP integrates them from the model’s design, not as layers added at the end.
AI Governance Office with Operational Capability
MTP can operate the governance model: reviewing new use cases, classifying risks, issuing recommendations, updating evidence, addressing deviations, and generating periodic reports. Centralized, federated, or hybrid.
No Vendor Lock-in, Adapted to Your Real Maturity
The governance model is designed independently of the AI tools used. It integrates with existing GRC, MLOps, CMDB, observability, and dashboards without imposing additional platforms.

Everything You Need to Know About AI Governance

What is AI Governance and why do I need an external service?

AI Governance is the set of policies, processes, roles, controls, metrics, and evidence that allow for the adoption of AI in a controlled, traceable manner compliant with the AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001. Most organizations already using AI lack an inventory, risk classification, clear stakeholders, or auditable evidence. A specialized external service accelerates implementation with a proven model and avoids costly errors when an audit arrives.

What does the initial implementation consist of and how long does it take?

The initial implementation takes approximately 3 months across three phases: Quick Assessment for diagnosis and maturity (weeks 1-2); operating model design with policies, processes, RACI, committees, controls, and KPIs (weeks 2-8); and initial deployment with training, support, and AI PMO activation (weeks 8-12). The scope is adapted to the number of AI initiatives and the starting maturity level.

What inputs does MTP need to start the Quick Assessment?

The following are required: an initial inventory of AI use cases or initiatives (even if incomplete); descriptions of AI systems in use or planned; current policies and procedures; a map of involved roles and areas; technological architecture and relevant tools; existing risk and compliance criteria; and known incidents or concerns. It is not necessary to have everything complete.

What deliverables will my organization receive?

Diagnosis and maturity report; AI system inventory and classification; risk and impact map; target AI Governance model; usage policies and guidelines; approval and monitoring processes; RACI matrix; committee proposal; control and evidence catalog; prioritized roadmap; KPI dashboards; and, during operation, periodic monitoring and continuous improvement reports.

What is the EU AI Act and how does it affect my organization?

The EU AI Act is the first comprehensive regulatory framework for AI, in effect since 2024 with staggered deadlines through 2027. It classifies AI systems by risk level and imposes progressive obligations: technical documentation, impact assessments, human oversight, and conformity logs for high-risk systems. Fines can reach 7% of total worldwide annual turnover or €35 million.

What does MTP's AI Governance service NOT do?

It does not replace the client’s responsibility for their decisions, internal policies, or final regulatory compliance. It does not act as independent legal advice or formal certification unless expressly contracted with authorized third parties. It does not develop the client’s AI models nor does it replace cybersecurity, privacy, MLOps, technical QA, or internal audit, although it can integrate with all of them.

Does the service include continuous operation of the governance model?

Yes. The service has two modules: implementation (diagnosis, design, and deployment) and operation (continuous management through the AI Governance Office or AI PMO). In the operational phase, MTP can review new use cases, classify risks, issue recommendations, update evidence, address deviations, and generate periodic reports. SLAs are adapted to the volume of initiatives and the criticality of the environment.

What differentiates MTP from other AI consulting firms?

MTP combines governance, compliance, risk, quality, and real operation into a single service. It is not limited to defining policies: it operationalizes the model through processes, roles, controls, evidence, KPIs, committees, and continuous improvement. It incorporates experience in QA and technical validation of AI systems (TMMi Level 5, the first company in the world), technological independence, and the capacity to operate centralized, federated, or hybrid governance models using Gartner methodology.
