AI governance built by someone who has engineered, shipped, and tested the systems it governs.

Talk with Mary Ann about your AI governance program

Focused On

AI Governance

Belarmino Advisory helps enterprises and public bodies turn AI rules and policies into controls that engineering teams can build and auditors can verify.

Typical engagements

  • Governance literacy training
  • Governance program design
  • Regulatory obligation mapping across jurisdictions
  • EU AI Act provider and deployer obligations
  • Shadow AI discovery
  • Fundamental rights and AI impact assessments
  • Test and evaluation strategy for AI systems

The engineering depth behind the governance

Each of these is also available as a standalone engagement.

Quality Systems Engineering

Test design, release controls, and incident feedback loops: the operational backbone that makes governance controls real.

Technical Product Management

Clear scope and requirements, so oversight fits into how products are planned and shipped instead of blocking them.

Strategy and Implementation

AI programs tied to mission, budget, and execution, with change leadership that helps teams adopt it.

Strategy without implementation fails. Governance without product context stalls. Quality without both is theater. Belarmino Advisory connects the full system.
