AI Governance and Regulatory Compliance
Operational Clarity. Framework Alignment. Real Oversight.
AI governance is no longer optional. Regulators are issuing new guidance. Boards want documentation. Insurers are asking detailed questions about model usage and data risk. The need to demonstrate real oversight around AI use isn’t theoretical—it’s already showing up in audits, renewals, and funding reviews.
For organizations in regulated environments, government contractors, healthcare providers, financial firms, or any entity handling sensitive data, AI activity must be tracked, governed, and justifiable. ATS works with you to move beyond vague guidelines and into defined governance: mapped to your risks, built around your workflows, and structured for real-world compliance.
ATS directly integrates AI governance processes within your existing technology infrastructure, including Microsoft GCC/GCC High environments, internal ticketing systems, CRM platforms, workflow management tools, and Azure Compliance Manager dashboards.
Where Oversight Becomes a Requirement
These are the scenarios clients bring to us—not hypotheticals, but current-state risks that demand immediate clarity.
Government Contractors
A DoD client requests documentation on AI usage as part of contract reporting. Your internal teams haven’t formalized any controls. Under a CMMC-aligned agreement, that puts future contract eligibility at risk. Governance turns informal usage into something defensible and auditable.
Healthcare Providers
Staff begin using generative AI to speed up clinical documentation. Patient information gets entered into a tool with no data boundary controls. When the compliance team investigates, they find no documented approval process or safeguards. Governance draws the lines, defines responsibilities, and prevents exposure.
Cyber-Insured Financial Firms
Your insurer sends a risk questionnaire. One item asks for your AI usage logs and model evaluation process. You have neither. Governance isn’t just about security—it now affects financial terms.
Mid-Market Enterprises Seeking Investment
An investor asks for your AI governance approach during diligence. You have adoption stories but no clear oversight structure. Governance communicates readiness and maturity.
What ATS Delivers
Governance isn’t a white paper. It’s a system.
AI Governance Framework
- Clear accountability structure for approvals and oversight
- Categorization of AI use cases (approved, conditional, restricted)
- Access controls tied to roles and data sensitivity
- Workflow-specific guardrails for tools interacting with regulated data
- Change tracking for models, tools, and use policies
- Documentation templates for usage logs, exceptions, and policy attestations
Compliance Alignment
We don’t just reference standards—we build to them.
Aligned frameworks include:
- NIST AI RMF
- ISO/IEC 42001
- U.S. Executive Order on AI (2023)
- EU AI Act
Integration with adjacent standards you already manage:
- HIPAA
- CMMC
- FedRAMP
- GLBA 27001 / SOC 2
- SEC + CFPB AI risk guidance
ATS translates these requirements into systems and documentation you can use—with zero guesswork and no extra burden on your internal teams.
AI Risk Registers and Gap Reports
We create clarity where ambiguity usually wins.
- Custom AI risk register with threat scenarios and mitigation tracking
- Visual dashboards for executive conversations
- Gap analysis against required controls, with actionable next steps
Proof for Reviewers, Auditors, and Stakeholders
ATS delivers:
- Audit-ready reporting packages
- Policy and oversight decks for board use
- Standard language for RFP and insurance responses
- Role-based visibility materials for staff awareness
Technical enforcement of AI governance is delivered through direct integration with Microsoft Purview for policy management and Entra ID for identity and access governance.
How ATS Works With You
We simplify the path to governance with a focused delivery model—no sprawl, no steering committees.
Why ATS
We Understand Compliance from the Inside Out
ATS is one of the few U.S. firms certified to implement Microsoft GCC and GCC High environments. We don’t just talk policy—we configure the controls across Microsoft 365, Azure, Purview, and Fabric.
We Handle the Policy, the Controls, and the Delivery
Most firms give you a binder or sell you software. ATS gives you working governance, mapped to tools your teams already use.
We Build With Review in Mind
Our materials are built for real-world use: RFPs, board packets, funding reviews, and insurance renewals. They don’t need translation or justification—they’re ready when you are.
Internal IT operations teams are designated clear responsibilities for ongoing maintenance and updates to AI governance frameworks post-implementation.
A scheduled review cycle is implemented to continuously update and refine governance frameworks, adapting to evolving regulatory standards and operational needs.
Management plans addressing residual risks such as staff non-compliance or vendor-related issues are clearly documented and operationalized.
AI Governance and Regulatory Compliance FAQ
Do I need this if I already have an AI policy?
Yes. Policy sets the expectation. Governance shows how it’s enforced. One without the other won’t satisfy scrutiny.
Can you help us prepare for a specific audit or framework?
Yes. We map our work to whatever is required—NIST, ISO, HIPAA, CMMC, EU AI Act, SEC, and more.
What if our AI use is minimal?
That’s actually ideal. Starting early lets you shape governance before behavior becomes embedded or hard to unwind.
Do we have to be using Microsoft tools?
No. But if you are—especially in GCC or GCC High—we bring deep expertise and can build controls directly inside your existing environment.
Get in Front of the Question Before It’s Asked
You won’t always get advance notice when governance becomes a requirement. Audits, proposals, renewals—they often arrive without lead time. The good news? You can be prepared.
ATS helps you define how AI is used, monitored, and controlled—on your terms. Before anyone else defines it for you.
