AI Governance That Enables, Not Blocks

Design AI governance structures that protect your organization while accelerating AI adoption — with policies, risk frameworks, and compliance mapped to UAE regulations.

Duration: 2-6 weeks Team: 1-2 Senior AI Governance Consultants
The Challenge

You might be experiencing...

No AI governance framework — everyone is building AI differently
Regulatory requirements from NESA, VARA, and UAE AI Office are unclear
Leadership is concerned about AI risk but doesn't know how to manage it
No responsible AI policy for bias, fairness, transparency, and accountability

AI governance is not about slowing down AI adoption — it’s about accelerating it safely. Organizations without governance frameworks end up with fragmented AI efforts, unmanaged risks, and regulatory exposure.

We design governance structures that are practical and proportionate — enabling your teams to build and deploy AI quickly while maintaining appropriate controls for risk, compliance, and accountability.

Our frameworks are specifically tailored for UAE and GCC regulatory environments, mapping to requirements from the UAE AI Office, NESA, VARA, NCA, and PDPL. We don’t apply generic international frameworks — we build governance that fits your regulatory reality.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to implement an AI governance framework?

A typical engagement runs 2-6 weeks. The first two weeks cover assessment and regulatory mapping, weeks 3-4 focus on framework design and policy drafting, and weeks 5-6 handle implementation support, training, and change management.

Which UAE and GCC regulations do you cover?

We map governance frameworks to requirements from the UAE AI Office, NESA (National Electronic Security Authority), VARA (Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority), NCA (Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority), and PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law). We build governance that fits your specific regulatory reality.

Will AI governance slow down our AI adoption?

No — it accelerates it. Organizations without governance frameworks end up with fragmented AI efforts, unclear ownership, and unmanaged risk that leads to project shutdowns. Our frameworks are designed to be practical and proportionate, enabling teams to move faster with clear guardrails.

What deliverables do we receive?

You receive an AI governance charter and operating model, responsible AI policy covering bias, fairness, transparency, and accountability, an AI risk management framework with risk register, regulatory compliance mapping, AI ethics guidelines, and training materials for both leadership and engineering teams.

Do you provide training for our teams?

Yes. The engagement includes training materials and workshops for both leadership and engineering teams. We cover responsible AI principles, the governance operating model, risk management procedures, and how to apply the framework to day-to-day AI development and deployment decisions.
