Your Team is Using AI. Do You Know How?

Employees are deploying AI tools faster than security can review them, clients are asking how you govern it, and regulators are catching up. We help you get ahead of all three without slowing the business down.

You Don't Have an AI Problem,

You Have an AI Visibility Problem

AI showed up in your business through the side door. Marketing's using ChatGPT for first drafts, Engineering's running Copilot, Sales pasted client data into a tool nobody approved.

None of them are bad actors, they're just trying to move faster. But you can't govern what you can't see, and you can't pass an audit on what you can't prove.

  • You don't know which AI tools your team is actually using
  • You can't tell what data is being fed into them
  • Clients are asking AI governance questions you can't answer
  • Legal is flagging EU AI Act and ISO 42001 obligations
  • The board wants AI adoption, but won't sign off without controls
  • Your existing security stack doesn't cover AI-specific risks

The Cost of Waiting on AI Governance

Every month without an AI program is a month you're accumulating risk you can't quantify, audits you can't pass, and deals that go to competitors who can answer the question.

$670K

Extra breach cost from shadow AI

IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025: shadow-AI-involved breaches cost organizations $670,000 more on average than incidents without it.

Aug 2026

EU AI Act high-risk enforcement

The legally binding deadline for Annex III high-risk AI systems. If you build, deploy, or sell to the EU, the clock has started.

97%

Of AI-breached orgs lacked access controls

IBM 2025: 97% of organizations that suffered an AI-related breach had no proper AI access controls in place. Visibility is the foundation.

How We Approach It

One partner. The full AI lifecycle. Backed by a real framework.

Cyberleaf builds AI governance the same way we build cybersecurity programs: structured, scored, and tied to the standards your clients and regulators actually care about.

Built on NIST AI RMF 1.0

Every assessment maps to the four core RMF functions: Map, Measure, Manage, Govern, so leadership sees a defensible structure, not a checklist.

 

CMMI-Scored Maturity

You get a quantitative maturity rating per domain. No vague "needs improvement." A real score, a real gap, a real path forward.

 

End-to-End Ownership

Discovery through governance, on one team. We don't hand you a finding list and walk away, we help you operationalize it.

3 Steps to AI Confidence

From AI Sprawl to AI Governance

The path from "we don't know what's running" to "we have a defensible AI program" is shorter than most leadership teams think.

STEP 01

See What's Actually Running

We discover every AI model, agent, and embedded capability in your environment—sanctioned, shadow, and vendor-introduced—and tie each to a use case, data flow, and owner.

STEP 02

Score the Program, Map the Gaps

A NIST AI RMF–aligned assessment delivers CMMI maturity scores across all four functions, plus a prioritized remediation plan tied to actual security and regulatory risk.

STEP 03

Stand Up the Program

Policies, governance committee, decision rights, and the operating model behind them — built to hold up under audit and survive personnel changes.

Services

What's included.

Whether you're starting from zero or maturing an existing program, our AI Security & Governance practice covers the full lifecycle. Engage us for the full program or any single service.

/ 01

AI Footprint Discovery & Asset Mapping

Find every AI in use, sanctioned and shadow. We surface every AI model, agent, and embedded capability across your environment, then tie each to its business use case, data dependencies, and accountable owner.


The result is a single source of truth for what's running, who's using it, and where the governance gaps sit, before they become an incident.

/ 02

AI Readiness Assessment

NIST AI RMF 1.0, scored. Benchmark against all four RMF functions with CMMI maturity scores per domain so leadership sees exactly where the program stands.
 
Every gap is paired with a prioritized remediation path tied to security, regulatory, and operational risk. You walk away with a workplan, not a finding list.
 

/ 03

Policy & Regulatory Alignment

One policy stack. Every framework you owe. We translate EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and your sector-specific rules into one internally consistent policy stack. One set of controls that satisfies every obligation you carry.


Plus the operating model behind it, charters, RACI, escalation paths, and documentation that holds up under audit and survives personnel changes.

/ 04

Governance Program Build

We help you stand up the AI Steering / Governance committee, define decision rights across the lifecycle, and assign named owners for each control domain.
 
Then we turn the assessment into a 36-month strategy with advancement goals, regulatory milestones, and quarterly checkpoints leadership can track.
 
/ 05

Data Protection & AI Security Controls

We engineer the data layer feeding your AI: continuous scanning, classification, DLP, and sensitivity tagging, so models only see data they're authorized to process.

Access controls and data-flow guardrails map directly to NIST AI RMF subcategories, giving you traceable, audit-ready coverage from prompt to inference output.

Built For The Way You Operate

Whether you're securing a single growing business, an MSP expanding into AI services, or a portfolio of companies, we deliver to how you actually work.

Growing Businesses

Your team is shipping AI faster than your security team can review it. We give you the program, the proof, and the policies — without an in-house AI security hire.

Solve Your AI Risk →

MSPs

Your clients are asking about AI. Add a fully managed AI governance practice to your portfolio without building it from scratch or hiring AI specialists.

Expand Your Practice →

Private Equity

AI risk is portfolio risk. Standardize AI governance across portfolio companies to protect valuations, ensure compliance, and avoid surprise findings at exit.

Secure Your Portfolio →
