**AI governance, simplified**

# Know where AI is used.** **Control what it touches.

Track usage, classify risk, and strengthen data protection across your company.

**The gap**

## **AI adoption moves fast. 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**

**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.

**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.

**What you receive**

## **11 operational deliverables. Zero filler.**

Outcomes first, documents second. Every deliverable solves a real governance gap.

**Launch bonuses**## **Included with every pilot engagement.****Bonus 1**### **30-day governance review session** A follow-up review 30 days after delivery to assess adoption and resolve implementation questions.**Bonus 2**### **Policy refresh pass** One minor policy update cycle included post-pilot — adjust language, scope, or controls based on internal feedback.**Bonus 3**### **Leadership governance briefing** A structured session for executive leadership to align on AI governance priorities and next steps.**The reality**## **AI is already being used inside your company. The question is whether you have visibility.**> ***"If a client asked today what AI systems your company uses and how they are governed, would you have a clear answer?" ***- AI tools spread across teams before governance catches up - Enterprise clients increasingly require AI governance documentation - Lack of visibility creates operational, legal, and reputational risk - The gap between adoption and control widens every month [Start AI Act Readiness Sprint](mailto:contact@minerva-ds.com?subject=Start%20AI%20Act%20Readiness%20Sprint&body=Company%3A%0AName%3A%0ARole%3A%0AWhere%20you%20need%20help%20(inventory%2C%20classification%2C%20evidence%2C%20questionnaires)%3A%0AMain%20pressure%20(EU%20AI%20Act%2C%20GDPR%2C%20ISO%2027001%2C%20internal%20governance%2C%20audit%2C%20other)%3A%0ATimeline%3A%0A)**Trust and control**## **Built for control.**### **Operational compliance support** Minerva helps you prepare and document. It does not replace legal advice. ### **Data control** Set retention, segregation, and handling rules around your AI records. ### **GDPR-aware workflows** Keep privacy reviewers involved with purpose-bound, minimal data flows. ### **Audit logging** Track changes to inventory, packs, approvals, and exports. ### **Private deployment** Run in private or dedicated environments when policy requires it. ### **Minerva Veil** Add optional anonymization and data-boundary protection for sensitive workflows. ## **Best for companies already under pressure.** For companies that need clearer AI visibility, stronger evidence, and better governance answers. ### **Good fit**- Companies using AI tools across teams or shipping AI-enabled products - Organizations preparing for EU AI Act, ISO 27001, GDPR, or internal governance reviews - Teams that need one source of truth for inventory and evidence - Leaders ready to assign owners and review processes ### **Not yet**- Teams expecting software to replace legal counsel - Programs with no owner for AI governance - Teams that only want marketing copy without evidence - Organizations unwilling to map and maintain AI usage ## **Need better answers?**** Start with inventory, risk, and evidence.** Book the sprint or request a demo.
