Evidence usually does not.** AI tools spread across teams before anyone owns the register. Then security, legal, compliance, and procurement ask the same questions, and answers drift. 1 **Incomplete inventory** Teams use AI before it is documented, so no one sees the full picture. 2 **Inconsistent answers** Sales, security, and legal answer questionnaires from different sources. 3 **Overlapping pressure** EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 27001, internal governance, and vendor reviews all ask for the same facts. 4 **Weak evidence trails** Without citations, every review becomes a last-minute scramble. **The system** ## **Inventory, classify, document, cite.** One place for inventory, risk, evidence, and questionnaire answers. Minerva Veil adds optional protection for sensitive workflows. **01** ### **Discover** Surface AI tools, owners, and data touchpoints. **02** ### **Classify** Apply reviewable risk logic aligned to your policy. **03** ### **Prove** Generate evidence packs with linked sources and controls. **04** ### **Maintain** Keep inventory, packs, and answers current over time. **Frameworks** ## **Built for how teams are assessed** - ![EU AI Act](https://evidence.minerva-ds.com/_nuxt/eu-icon.FU556GgP.png) **EU AI Act** - ![NIST AI RMF](data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20120%20120'%20fill='none'%20aria-hidden='true'%3e%3crect%20width='120'%20height='120'%20rx='10'%20stroke='%23342f2b'%20stroke-width='2'%20/%3e%3cpath%20stroke='%23342f2b'%20stroke-linecap='round'%20stroke-width='5'%20d='M28%2038h64M28%2062h44M28%2086h58'%20/%3e%3c/svg%3e) **NIST AI RMF** - ![ISO/IEC 42001](https://evidence.minerva-ds.com/_nuxt/iso-icon.CxIjUYe3.png) **ISO/IEC 42001:2023** **The deep-tech layer** ## **Explainable signals, not black boxes.** See why a system was flagged, what controls it maps to, and what is still missing. **01** ### **Structured detection** Combine vendor, integration, and steward signals into one AI record. **02** ### **Explainable classification** Show the factors behind each risk level. **03** ### **Gap detection** Flag missing controls, approvals, or DPIA links early. **04** ### **Evidence graph** Link packs back to policies, datasets, and tickets. **Core capabilities** ## **Five modules for daily AI governance.** Clearer workflows, lighter reviews, stronger proof. ### **AI usage inventory** Track tools, owners, data categories, and dependencies in one register. ### **Risk classification engine** Score systems with logic your team can review and adjust. ### **Evidence pack per tool** Bundle policies, controls, and proof into one exportable pack. ### **AI policy generator** Draft policy and control text from validated system data. ### **Questionnaire and audit mode** Turn repeated governance questions into consistent, cited answers. **How it works** ## **Four steps. Clear ownership.** 1 **Scope** Confirm the jurisdictions, frameworks, and governance needs that matter. 2 **Build the inventory** Discover systems, remove duplicates, and assign owners. 3 **Classify and document** Apply risk logic and generate packs, policies, and answers. 4 **Keep it current** Update inventory and evidence as your systems change. 1 ### **Which context best describes your company?** This calibrates the level of governance pressure.2 ### **How is AI used today?** Include SaaS tools, internal automation, APIs, and AI-enabled products.3 ### **Do you have an inventory with owners?** Think one record per AI system, tool, vendor, or workflow.4 ### **Are AI systems classified by risk and data exposure?** The logic should be reviewable by security, legal, or governance teams.5 ### **What data can enter AI workflows?** Consider prompts, uploads, integrations, logs, and model outputs.6 ### **Is there an internal AI usage policy?** Useful policies define approved tools, prohibited use, data rules, and escalation.7 ### **How are new AI tools approved?** This includes vendor review, owner assignment, and risk checks.8 ### **Do you have AI-specific incident escalation?** Examples: prompt leakage, sensitive data exposure, harmful outputs, vendor incidents.9 ### **Who is asking about AI governance?** Client reviews and audits often ask for the same facts in different formats.**Your snapshot**### **Readiness and document priorities** Answer every question to see your readiness snapshot.**Limited pilot offer**## **AI Governance Readiness Sprint****Get control over AI usage across your company in 14 days.** Inventory your AI systems, identify governance gaps, prepare internal policies, and generate reusable evidence for enterprise clients, audits, and compliance reviews.
