The problem in Arlington
AI is arriving through every channel at once: chat tools staff sign up for themselves, AI features switched on inside software you already pay for, and vendors pitching AI products.

AI inventory and risk assessmentKnow where AI is used and what could go wrong.
Ongoing AI oversightA part-time AI officer who keeps it current.
AI safety training for staffMake the policy real for every team.

Thousands of small firms, consultancies, medical and dental practices, salons, gyms and restaurants compete here for the same customers.

Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. We provide practical governance and training. Your attorney should review final policies, especially for health, financial or government data.
What is the NIST AI Risk Management Framework?
A voluntary framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology for managing AI risk, organized into four functions: Govern, Map, Measure and Manage. We use it to organize your program.
