The gap is widening
Every new AI tool your people adopt widens the distance between use and control.
The space between what your people do using AI and
what you can prove you control is where exposure lives.
Illustrative, not measured.
What you actually need to know
AI governance, in five plain questions
Regulators already hold you accountable for how your firm uses AI.
Not a future risk — a current obligation under rules you answer to today.
Oversight of how AI gets adopted and used — not the tools themselves.
Policy, accountability, and evidence that someone is watching.
Before an examiner, auditor, or incident asks the question for you.
Usage always runs ahead of policy — the gap is where exposure lives.
One structured assessment against recognized NIST frameworks.
Findings, gaps, and a prioritized remediation path — in plain business terms.
Your leadership owns it. We facilitate. Your auditors and regulators receive it.
A board-grade package that speaks to every audience at the table.
See your exposure in minutes.
Answer a few questions about how your firm uses AI. The Regulatory Exposure Profiler shows which rules put you on the hook — before you talk to anyone.
No account, nothing stored.
The difference · no one else does this
We don't hand you a report. We hand you a program.
Most firms get a slide deck that dies on a shelf. You get a live remediation program — ported straight into your own system of record, where your team already assigns, tracks, and burns work down.
Your assessment → a remediation backlog
in your system of record · sanitized exampleMaintain an inventory of AI systems & vendors
Gap: no central register; tools adopted team by team. Fix: a living inventory with an owner and data classification per system.
Retain AI-assisted communications as books & records
Gap: AI-drafted client messages not captured for retention. Fix: route AI outputs through the archive and test retrieval.
Delivered where you already work — Azure DevOps · Jira · Microsoft Planner · or a tracked sheet. Not another tool to log into.
Dies on a shelf. Nothing gets assigned, nothing gets fixed.
Another silo your lean team has to log into and maintain.
The fix, in your own system of record — owned, tracked, and examiner-ready.

For CPAs, auditors & advisors
Your clients are adopting AI. Be the one with the answer.

AI governance is a trust-and-accountability sale. That's why my name is on it: I'm accountable for the outcome, not just the deck.
Also the fractional CIO/COO practice at boanta.com — same operator, broader remit.
Close the gap before it closes you.
