The AI Governance Starter Pack equips small to mid-size organizations with the four essential templates every AI deployer needs to build a strong governance foundation. Each template is practical, customizable, and aligned with global standards such as NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and the Colorado AI Act.
Here’s what you’ll get:

- Covers key areas like ethical use, compliance obligations, human oversight, transparency, and accountability.
- Provides space to adapt to your industry and risk appetite, ensuring your policy reflects your unique context.
- Useful for internal governance, regulator requests, and client assurance.
2. AI Inventory Tracker Template

3. AI Impact Assessment Template
