AI Governance Consulting
AI tools are making decisions in your business right now. Most organizations can't name who's accountable when something goes wrong. Govagentic builds the governance infrastructure that closes that gap — before a regulator, client, or incident forces the question.
The problem
The average mid-market company now has AI tools embedded across sales, operations, legal, and finance — most of them adopted bottom-up, without a policy, without an audit trail, and without a clear owner. That's not a technology problem. It's a governance problem. And when something goes wrong — a bad decision made by an agent, a compliance gap surfaced in an audit, a vendor whose AI practices you never vetted — the question will be: who was responsible for this?
Built on TrustLayer
This working prototype runs on TrustLayer — our continuous-monitoring architecture for evidence collection, attestation, and audit-ready compliance. Every tool call is logged. Every decision is traceable. Every action runs through a policy engine before execution. The same architecture we build into client engagements, applied here to vendor risk assessment.

Mock data · No real vendor information used
Sound familiar?
There's no AI use policy. No one has mapped which tools handle sensitive data. The word "liability" keeps coming up in meetings but nothing is getting written down.
Workflows are running autonomously. Nobody has defined what these agents can and can't do, or what happens when they make a mistake that affects a client or a contract.
You're being asked to demonstrate responsible AI use. You don't have a framework, a policy document, or a named owner. You need something real — and fast.
What we do
Assessment · Independent posture review
An independent assessment of how your organization actually governs AI today — across people, vendors, tools, and agentic workflows. Anchored to a named framework (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act, or sector overlay), delivered as a board-grade posture report with a prioritized roadmap.
Design & Implementation · Operating model
Design and implement your organization's AI governance operating model — a Board-approvable charter, the policy suite, committee structures, decision rights, and the supporting standards that turn policy into practice.
Program · Third-party risk
Your vendors are using AI too — and their risk is your risk. We build the program your TPRM function needs for AI vendors: risk-tiered intake, due-diligence questionnaire, contract clause integration, and continuous monitoring that runs on TrustLayer.
Retainer · Embedded governance leadership
Senior AI governance leadership on a retained, part-time basis. We chair or advise your AI Risk Committee, deliver monthly and quarterly reporting, monitor regulatory developments in your jurisdictions, and stand up incident review when needed.
How we work
We don't publish prices. Scope, deliverables, and fees are determined in scoping — anchored to the work the engagement actually requires, not to a website tier.
A 30-minute call. Where you are, what you're navigating, and whether we're the right fit. No prep required, no obligation.
A working session to define outcomes, stakeholders, evidence access, and the deliverable that will land with your sponsor, your board, or your regulator.
Written scope, timeline, roles, and dependencies. Signed by both parties. No surprises mid-engagement.
A single fee for the engagement, tied to the Statement of Work. Retained engagements priced per month with defined initial term.
Delivered by the principal. Working sessions with your team where they add value. Board-ready output at the end — not a slide deck nobody reads.
Regulation is arriving — and it won't wait for you to be ready
Canada's Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) and the EU AI Act are reshaping what accountable AI use looks like for any company operating at scale. Organizations that build governance frameworks now will adapt easily. Those that wait will scramble.
Agentic AI is a different risk category than AI tools
A ChatGPT subscription is a productivity tool. An AI agent that autonomously emails clients, processes invoices, or makes scheduling decisions is an operational actor. The governance requirements are fundamentally different — and most companies haven't made that distinction yet.
Your clients and auditors are starting to ask
Enterprise procurement teams, insurers, and auditors are adding AI governance questions to their vendor assessments. If you can't answer them clearly, you're a risk — and contracts go to the company that can.
First movers build the standard — everyone else follows it
The companies that establish internal AI governance frameworks today become the benchmark their industry peers are measured against. That's a competitive advantage that compounds over time.
About Govagentic
"Most AI governance advice is either too theoretical to act on, or too generic to apply. We build frameworks that actually get used."
Govagentic is a specialist AI governance consultancy built for mid-market organizations that are serious about responsible AI — not as a PR exercise, but as a genuine operational and legal foundation.
We combine deep expertise in risk management, compliance frameworks, and agentic AI systems to help legal, ops, and risk leaders get ahead of a problem that isn't going away. Our engagements are practical, fast-moving, and delivered by a senior advisor — not a junior team working from a template.
Our engagements are anchored to TrustLayer, our own architecture for evidence collection, attestation, and continuous compliance monitoring. The same architecture you can see running in the prototype above.
We're based in Canada and work with organizations across North America navigating the intersection of AI adoption and governance accountability.
