Our experience

25

years of technology leadership experience from our founder, spanning enterprise IT, engineering, security and operational resilience.

Experience leading the teams, systems and operational decisions behind the policies.

Practical judgment, personal involvement

Real experience. Personal involvement.

You should be able to ask a straightforward question and get a straightforward answer. Paratus connects business priorities with practical safeguards, clear responsibilities and work your team can carry forward.

That perspective draws on experience establishing responsible AI programs, guiding a private AI pilot for a consulting firm, and developing safeguards for AI connected to business systems.

The goal is a program your team understands and can put into practice.

Before we begin

A few practical
questions.

A useful working relationship starts with clear expectations.

Do we need an internal compliance team?

You can start with the people already responsible for the business and its technology. We help clarify who needs to be involved and what they will own, with the engagement shaped around your available capacity.

Can you work with our IT provider or existing tools?

Yes. We work alongside your internal team and service providers to define responsibilities and coordinate implementation. Tooling needs are considered in the context of your requirements and current environment.

Is AI governance only for companies building AI?

No. It also applies to businesses using AI tools in everyday work. Policies, data boundaries, tool review and human oversight help employees understand how to use those tools responsibly.

How are engagements scoped and priced?

Scope depends on your requirements, environment, current practices and the support you need. We discuss these factors first, then define the work, deliverables and fees in a proposal.

What happens in the first conversation?

We discuss what prompted you to reach out, any deadlines or customer requirements, and what is already in place. From there, we can identify the next useful step and whether Paratus is a good fit.

Let’s talk
