AI Governance Risk Snapshot
A fixed-scope AI governance review for Australian businesses. Understand which AI uses to allow, review or stop, with clear actions for data boundaries and human review.
The Snapshot reviews up to three AI tools or use cases in one team. You receive an allow, review or stop decision map, five priority control gaps and a 30-day action plan within 10 business days of the interview and receipt of agreed evidence.
Practical controls before more AI rollout.
Who it helps
For businesses already using ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude or AI-enabled software, or preparing a rollout. A leader needs a practical answer about approved use, information boundaries or review responsibilities.
- Staff adopting AI without consistent rules
- A planned rollout involving confidential information
- Client or leadership questions about AI oversight
Fixed scope, agreed upfront
One team of up to 20 staff, up to three tools or use cases and up to five redacted evidence items. The review includes a questionnaire, a 60-minute interview, a 30-minute readout and one factual correction round.
- No tenant or administrator access
- No client files or unredacted customer records requested
- Remote delivery within 10 business days after the interview and agreed evidence receipt
Inspect the method before you decide
Summit Guard is opening a three-engagement pilot cohort for this bounded method. Public samples are illustrative; they demonstrate the approach and do not represent completed client engagements.
- Findings linked to supplied evidence or labelled assumptions
- Practical actions with an owner and target date
- A clear explanation of what the evidence cannot establish
Where a deeper review is needed
The Snapshot does not include technical configuration, security testing, organisation-wide policy drafting or ongoing monitoring. Specialist legal interpretation and formal assurance should stay with appropriately qualified advisers.
- Complex or high-impact decision systems may require a specialist review
- Additional teams or use cases require a separate scope
- Implementation actions can be handed to your existing IT or risk team
What you walk away with.
- Register of the three in-scope tools or use cases
- Allow / review / stop decision map with conditions
- Five priority control gaps, evidence and consequences
- Proposed data boundaries and human-review responsibilities
- 30-day action plan with owners and dependencies
Mapped to recognised guidance.
- National AI Centre essential AI practices
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework
- ISO/IEC 42001 governance concepts; not certification
Common questions.
Is the Snapshot limited to law firms?
No. It is for Australian businesses with a bounded AI governance question. Suitability depends on your use cases, risk, evidence and decision needs, rather than industry alone.
How long does it take?
Delivery is within 10 business days after the interview and receipt of the agreed evidence. We confirm scope and availability before you commit.
Do you need access to our systems?
No tenant or administrator access is required. We review up to five agreed, redacted evidence items. Do not send client files or unredacted personal information.
How is the fee agreed?
We confirm the scope and fee in a written proposal before work begins. The initial 20-minute fit call is free and establishes suitability; it is not an assessment.
Is this audit assurance or legal advice?
No. This is practical governance guidance based on the agreed scope and supplied evidence. It is not legal advice, certification or formal assurance.
