Expert AI Governance Consulting for Startups & SMBs

Ensure ethical, compliant, and trustworthy AI for startups and SMBs with our governance expertise.

AI drives innovation — but without proper governance, it can become a serious liability.

The Risks of Ungoverned AI

  • 🧠Algorithmic Bias – AI systems can produce unfair outcomes that harm individuals or groups, especially in hiring, lending, or healthcare.
  • 🔐 Data Misuse & Privacy Breaches – Poor handling of training data can lead to non-compliance with GDPR and expose sensitive personal information.
  • ⚖️ Regulatory Fines – Under the EU AI Act, high-risk AI systems that don’t comply may face fines of up to 6% of global revenue.
  • 📉 Reputational Damage – A single failure can permanently damage public trust and investor confidence.
  • 👁️‍🗨️ Lack of Transparency – Black-box models without explainability erode accountability and stakeholder trust.

Frequently Asked Questions about AI Governance

Still have questions? Here are the most common concerns we hear from startups and growing tech teams — and how we address them.

Start with an AI risk scan and stakeholder mapping. Then define your AI use cases, document data flows, and establish early-stage governance roles like an AI Ethics Champion or advisory board.

It classifies AI systems into risk tiers. If your AI falls into the “high-risk” category, you’ll need to meet strict transparency, documentation, and risk mitigation requirements — or face fines of up to 6% of global revenue.

Yes — especially if you’re processing personal data, using decision automation, or aiming to scale in regulated markets. A lightweight, startup-friendly governance framework protects you from future compliance gaps.

Fairness starts with bias-aware data practices and transparent model testing. We use audits, fairness metrics, and explainability techniques like SHAP or LIME to flag and reduce disparities in outcomes.

It depends on the system’s complexity. We offer modular packages starting at €2,500 with optional sprints, assessments, and training — scaling as you grow.
