AI rollout governance pack

Four documents · thirty-two controls · CAD $595

The structured way through work that is mostly not AI work

Everything in this pack is public. Microsoft publishes the method, Quebec publishes the statute, and OWASP publishes the agent guidance. What does not exist anywhere is a sequenced way through it that an owner or an operations lead can actually run. That is what you are buying, and we would rather say so plainly than pretend the information is secret.

What is actually in it

The core

Gap analysis workbook

Thirty-two controls in four phases, in the order a rollout has to do them.

  • Know what is already exposed — the inventory, ownerless spaces, organisation-wide and external sharing, broken inheritance, where the sensitive material actually lives.
  • Set the guardrails — defaults, labels that carry real enforcement, rules on what may be put into a tool, and a way of seeing what is in use.
  • Records, retention and the law — prompts retained and discoverable, purpose limitation decided, contracts checked.
  • People and agents — accountability, the register, who may publish an agent, the Rule of Two, and the leaver process.
  • Each control says what it means in plain words, why it matters, and where to look for it. Status, evidence, owner and target date are yours.

The other three documents

Each does one job, and the workbook points at them where they are needed.

  • AI system and agent register. Every assistant, integration and agent: what it reaches, who owns it, whether anyone approved it, whether it acts alone. The AI counterpart of a records-of-processing register.
  • Rollout plan and decision gates. Four gates, each a decision by a named person on a date. Pilot design, acceptance criteria written before the pilot rather than after, and a go or no-go record.
  • Law 25 automated decisions. The assessment, the three duties, model notice wording, and the records of explanations given and human reviews carried out.
  • Excel and Word. Nothing locked, watermarked or protected.

The two lines that do the most work

The workbook counts itself, but the totals are the least interesting part of it. Two lines on the summary sheet matter more than the rest put together.

  1. Controls marked in place with no evidence recorded. This is the line an auditor, an insurer or an acquirer will ask about, and it is the gap between believing something is done and being able to show it. It is usually not zero.
  2. Phase 1 controls not yet in place. This is the line that decides whether you should switch anything on at all. Everything in Phase 1 is about knowing what is already exposed — and turning on an assistant before you know that is how a salary file ends up in a search result.

Who this is for, and who it is not

It is written for an owner, an operations lead or an office manager who has been handed responsibility for an AI rollout and is not a specialist. Every control is in plain words, and the technical feature names sit in a separate column so they can be handed to whoever administers the tenant.

It is not for a large enterprise with a dedicated governance function, who will already have their own control set and will find this too light. And it will not configure anything for you — see below.

Where the line falls

This pack will not configure anything, and we will not configure it for you.

It tells you what to do, in what order, and records who decided it. The permissions clean-up, the labelling and the tenant configuration belong to you or to your IT provider. We do not remediate what we assess, which is the reason our assessment of it is worth anything — and it does mean that if what you want is somebody to come and fix it, we are the wrong people and will say so.

Completing this pack is not a certification. It does not make you compliant with any standard or statute, and it is not legal advice. On the Law 25 questions in particular, where the answer is close, take Quebec counsel and keep their view in writing alongside the form.

What to read first

If you have not yet read what actually governs AI in Canada, start there and it is free. There is no Canadian AI Act, whatever a supplier may have told you, and knowing what genuinely applies changes what this pack is for.
