Cyber and AI
Governance
for Boards
Defensible oversight. Clear accountability. Board-ready reporting.
Directors carry personal accountability for cyber and AI risk. Many boards cannot clearly demonstrate who is accountable, how risk is challenged, or whether oversight would withstand regulatory scrutiny. I design governance frameworks that give boards defensible visibility and control.
Why Boards Are Exposed
Director Liability Risk
Cyber is no longer just a technical risk; it is a core fiduciary duty. Unprepared boards risk significant legal and reputational consequences.
Lack of Clear Accountability
Over-reliance on IT teams without a clear governance bridge means boards often lack the visibility required to make informed decisions.
Vendor Over-Reliance
Third-party services do not outsource your legal liability. Boards must understand how to govern risk across their entire supply chain.
Regulatory Expectations
Regulators now expect boards to demonstrate active oversight and understanding of digital resilience, not just passive acceptance of reports.
