When the board asks how you govern AI, have the evidence ready.
TruGovAI turns the AI tools already running across your business into a board-ready governance picture - inventory, risk, and controls you can put in front of a board, an insurer, or a procurement team. No consulting engagement.
The deadline moved. The obligation didn't.
Boards, insurers, and procurement teams are asking mid-market firms to show how they govern AI - now, not in 2027. Most firms can name a policy. Very few can show evidence. TruGovAI is built to close that gap.
"Where are we exposed?"
They want a plain-English posture - what AI is in use, what's risky, and what's being done about it - not a 40-page framework.
"Show your controls."
Cyber and PI renewals increasingly ask what AI you use and how it's governed. "We have a policy" rarely satisfies the question.
"Prove it to win the work."
Larger customers push AI-governance questions down their supply chain. Firms that can evidence it clear the gate faster.
See it. Control it. Prove it. Sustain it.
Four stages of a working governance programme - each one produces something real you can hand to your board.
You can't govern what you can't see. TruGovAI finds the AI already running across your teams - sanctioned or not - and sorts it into a single traffic-light inventory.
- AI tool inventory with red-amber-green status
- Shadow-AI employee survey to surface hidden use
- Data-sensitivity and department tagging on every tool
| Tool | Team | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Otter.ai | Sales | Unmanaged |
| ChatGPT (free) | Marketing | Review |
| GitHub Copilot | Engineering | Review |
| Claude (Team) | Legal | Governed |
| Grammarly | Operations | Governed |
Turn the picture into policy people can actually follow. TruGovAI generates the controls that sit around your AI use, and a repeatable way to vet new tools before they get in.
- AI acceptable-use policy, in plain English
- Vendor vetting checklist for new AI tools
- Governance statement and roles for the board
- Quarterly audit cycle to keep it honest
This is where most firms fall down - and where TruGovAI earns its keep. Every score is derived from a published rubric, so the numbers are repeatable and you can show your working.
- Risk scoring matrix and a plotted risk heatmap
- Governance maturity assessment across five levels
- Board briefing pack, generated as a PDF
Governance isn't a one-off binder. TruGovAI keeps the picture live as tools, teams, and rules change - and gives you a way to log and handle incidents when they happen.
- Incident tracking and response templates
- Employee comms and training material
- Regulator watchlist and annual gap report
Named outputs, not vague "templates".
Every stage produces a specific artifact, in a known format, for a known audience. Here's the shape of it.
Two guided sessions to board-ready.
You're not handed a login and left to it. An onboarding lead sets you up across two working sessions - you leave the second with outputs you can take to the board.
Get the picture
- Set up your users and teams
- Build your first AI tool inventory
- Launch the shadow-AI employee survey
Produce the evidence
- Review survey results and risk scores
- Generate your governance maturity view
- Export your first board-ready outputs
Guided Setup is included - self-service the platform after, or keep it hands-on. Your call.
Mapped to the frameworks your stakeholders already know.
Your outputs are cross-referenced to the standards boards and auditors recognise - so the evidence lands in language they trust.
Governance Ready™ is a good-practice signal against TruGovAI's published rubric. It is not a certification, a compliance guarantee, or a regulator approval - it's evidence you can show, in plain English.
"I watched good firms buy expensive frameworks they could never actually run. TruGovAI does the opposite - it produces the evidence, keeps it current, and leaves you in control. No consultants camped in your office. Ever."
Nicholas Ellsmore - Founder, TruGovAI
Talk to us directlyThe questions a careful buyer asks.
Is this a certification?
No - and we're deliberate about that. Governance Ready™ is a good-practice signal against a published rubric, giving your board and stakeholders clear evidence in plain English. It is not a legal approval or a compliance guarantee, and we never claim it is.
Is my company's data sent to external AI models?
Your governance data lives in your own tenant. We'll walk you through exactly how data is handled - where it sits and what does and doesn't leave it - on the demo, so you can satisfy your own security team before you commit.
How is this different from a policy-template pack?
A template gives you a document. TruGovAI gives you a working system: it discovers what AI is actually in use, scores the risk from a repeatable rubric, produces board-ready evidence, and keeps it current as things change. A PDF policy can't do any of that.
How is it different from hiring a consultant?
A consulting engagement delivers a snapshot and then leaves. TruGovAI gives you the depth of that engagement as software you run yourself - faster to stand up, always current, and yours to keep. It's built to make outside help unnecessary.
How quickly can we be board-ready?
Two guided sessions. You build the picture in the first and leave the second with your first board-ready outputs. Most of the work is reviewing and confirming, not building from scratch.
Who is TruGovAI for?
UK mid-market firms - roughly 50 to 250 people - especially in financial services, insurance, legal, and professional services, where a board, an insurer, or a customer is already asking about AI governance. If nobody's asking yet, they will be.
