Home / Services / Governance Retainer
Tier 3

AI governance that stays current as regulations evolve.

Ongoing support that keeps your policies up to date, your staff trained, and your documentation ready for any audit. Because compliance isn't a one-time project — it's an operating discipline.

Investment
$1,500 - $7,500/mo

Monthly retainer based on company size and scope. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No long-term contracts.

Prerequisite

Requires Readiness Sprint (Tier 2)

The retainer maintains and evolves the governance framework built during the sprint. If you don't have a framework yet, we start there. Already have one from another provider? We'll assess and adopt it.

What's Included

Continuous Governance Operations

  • Monthly Policy Reviews — Policies updated as regulations change, new tools emerge, or your business evolves
  • Quarterly Staff Training — Refresher sessions and onboarding training for new hires on AI usage policies
  • New Tool/Vendor Reviews — Before your team adopts a new AI tool, we vet it against your governance framework
  • Regulatory Monitoring — We track Oregon, federal, and relevant state/international AI regulations so you don't have to
  • Incident Response Support — If something goes wrong with an AI tool, we're on call to help manage it
  • Workflow Approval Process — New AI-powered workflows get reviewed and approved before going live
  • Monthly Compliance Reports — Leadership-ready reports showing governance status, incidents, and recommendations
  • Quarterly Executive Briefings — 30-minute call with your leadership team on AI governance posture and upcoming changes
Why Ongoing?

Because AI compliance is a moving target.

Regulations Change

Colorado's AI Act (Feb 2026), EU AI Act enforcement (Aug 2025), Oregon OCPA amendments — every quarter brings new requirements. Policies from 6 months ago may already be stale.

Tools Evolve

Your team discovers new AI tools constantly. Each one needs vetting: Where does data go? What are the terms? Does it comply with your policies? Without a review process, shadow AI creeps back.

Staff Turns Over

New hires don't know your AI policies. Existing staff forget. Quarterly training and onboarding integration keep everyone aligned, not just the people who were there when you built the framework.
