Schedule Your AssessmentFrequently Asked Questions
What does the AI Governance Readiness Assessment evaluate?
The assessment evaluates AI governance maturity across 6 pillars: (1) Strategy & Leadership - executive AI vision, organizational structure, and accountability; (2) Risk Management - AI risk identification, assessment, and mitigation processes; (3) Data Governance - data quality, lineage, bias detection, and privacy compliance for AI workloads; (4) Model Governance - model lifecycle management, version control, monitoring, and validation; (5) Ethics & Responsible AI - fairness, transparency, explainability, and human oversight frameworks; (6) Compliance & Regulatory - alignment with EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, industry-specific regulations (HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP). Each pillar is scored 1-5 with specific recommendations for improvement.
Who needs an AI Governance Readiness Assessment?
Organizations that need this assessment include: enterprises deploying Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, or other generative AI tools without formal governance; regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government) where AI decisions must be auditable and explainable; organizations preparing for EU AI Act compliance or following NIST AI RMF guidelines; companies with multiple AI/ML models in production without centralized oversight; and any enterprise where AI is making or influencing decisions about customers, employees, or operations. The assessment is especially critical for organizations in healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (SOC 2/SOX), and government (FedRAMP) where AI governance failures can result in regulatory penalties.
What deliverables are included in the $12K assessment?
The $12K fixed-fee assessment delivers: AI Governance Maturity Scorecard with ratings across all 6 pillars, Gap Analysis Report identifying critical governance gaps with risk prioritization, AI Risk Register documenting identified risks with likelihood and impact ratings, Responsible AI Policy Template customized to your industry and regulatory requirements, AI Governance Implementation Roadmap with 30/60/90-day action plan, Executive Briefing Presentation summarizing findings and recommendations, and Regulatory Compliance Checklist mapping your current state against relevant regulations (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, industry-specific requirements).
How long does the AI Governance Readiness Assessment take?
The assessment is completed in 5 business days: Day 1 covers stakeholder interviews with AI/ML teams, data science leadership, compliance, legal, and IT security (8-10 interviews). Day 2 reviews existing AI models, data pipelines, documentation, and current governance artifacts. Day 3 conducts the regulatory compliance gap analysis and risk assessment. Day 4 develops the maturity scorecard, policy templates, and implementation roadmap. Day 5 delivers the executive briefing presentation and all deliverables. The compressed timeline is possible because EPC Group uses a proven assessment framework refined across 50+ enterprise engagements.
How does this assessment relate to EU AI Act compliance?
The AI Governance Readiness Assessment includes a dedicated EU AI Act compliance module that: classifies your AI systems by risk level (unacceptable, high-risk, limited, minimal) as defined by the EU AI Act, identifies which of your AI systems fall under high-risk categories requiring conformity assessment, evaluates your technical documentation, risk management systems, and human oversight mechanisms against EU AI Act requirements, and provides a remediation roadmap for achieving compliance before enforcement deadlines. Even for US-based organizations, EU AI Act compliance is critical if you have EU customers, employees, or operations. The assessment helps you prepare proactively rather than reactively.
