Four editable Word templates that give your organization defensible AI governance in weeks instead of quarters. Built from real engagements, written for executives and adapted easily for regulated and government contracting environments.
The document auditors, primes, and insurers ask for first. Defines approved tools, permitted and prohibited use, data classification rules, human review, disclosure, and consequences.
A lightweight intake-to-decision path so new AI tools get reviewed in days, not months - with evidence you can show later.
The plain-language companion your team will actually read. Turns the policy into five rules, real examples, and a verification habit.
Score any AI vendor before it touches company data. Built around the questions that actually determine risk, not the ones in the sales deck.
Start with the Acceptable Use Policy - it is the anchor document everything else references.
Stand up the Approval Process so new tools stop arriving unreviewed.
Roll out the Employee Guidelines with a short training session and acknowledgment.
Apply the Vendor Review Checklist to every AI tool already in use, highest-risk first.
Every template uses bracketed fields - replace them with your organization's names, contacts, and obligations before adoption. These are starting points, not legal advice; have counsel review anything that flows into a contract.
The Executive AI Adoption Readiness Assessment scores your organization across ten pillars - including governance - and returns a phased roadmap so you know which of these templates to deploy first.
