AI Security & Governance
Take Control of AI Before It Takes Control of You.
Your teams are already using AI. The question is whether you know where, how, and what data is being exposed. Cyber Analytica builds the security foundation, governance framework, and monitoring capability your organisation needs to adopt AI safely and defensibly.|
AI tools are spreading across every department, from marketing teams using ChatGPT to developers relying on Copilot, to finance teams experimenting with automated reporting. Most of this adoption is happening without IT’s knowledge, without security review, and without any governance structure in place. Cyber Analytica’s AI Security and Governance engagement gives you a clear picture of your AI exposure, then builds the controls, policies, and monitoring capability to manage AI adoption on your terms.
Why AI Governance Cannot Wait
The risk is not hypothetical. Sensitive data is being pasted into public AI services. Internal documents are being uploaded to unvetted platforms. A 2026 McKinsey survey found that security, risk management, and governance concerns are among the most frequently cited barriers to scaling AI.
Shadow AI Is Already Here
It rarely starts with a dramatic breach. It starts with an employee pasting a client contract into ChatGPT, or a developer feeding proprietary source code into Copilot without reviewing the data retention policy.
Regulators Are Watching
With the EU AI Act reaching general application in 2026 and clients sending due diligence questionnaires about AI controls, a documented, operational governance framework is no longer a nice-to-have.
74% vs 21% Maturity Gap
74% of companies plan to deploy agentic AI within two years, but only 21% have a mature governance model in place. The gap is widening, and the organisations that close it early build on solid ground.
Key Takeaway:
Organisations that fail to establish controls early are building on a foundation they will eventually have to tear apart. Cyber Analytica exists to close that gap before it becomes a liability.
Our Partners
See What You Cannot Govern
Discovery & Exposure Mapping
You cannot govern what you cannot see. Most organisations have no single view of which AI tools are in use, who is using them, or what data they are touching. Cyber Analytica starts every engagement by building that view, systematically and thoroughly, before any policy or control decision is made.
We conduct a structured discovery across your environment to identify every AI tool, integration, and workflow in use, whether sanctioned by IT or adopted independently. This includes enterprise platforms like Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise, developer tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude, embedded AI features within SaaS products, internal applications with AI components, and any shadow AI usage detectable through available telemetry.
“We have no idea how many AI tools our staff are using, what data they are putting into them, or whether any of it is approved.”

Key Takeaway:
Practical, Enforceable, Yours
Governance, Policy & Control Design
A governance framework is only useful if it is practical enough to follow and specific enough to enforce. With a clear map of your AI landscape, Cyber Analytica designs the governance structure that brings it under control, fitting your operating model and risk appetite, not generic templates lifted from a compliance library.
Governance Framework
Roles, approvals, oversight structure, and operating model. Plus an Acceptable Use Standard with practical rules for permitted and prohibited use of AI tools and data.
Technical Control Standards
Minimum controls for AI platforms and agentic workflows, covering identity management, least privilege access, secrets management, monitoring requirements, and human oversight gates.
Approval & Exception Process
A controlled, accountable channel for assessing new tools, approving use cases, and documenting exceptions. Adoption keeps happening, but on your terms.
Key Takeaway:
In 2026, with the EU AI Act reaching general application and regulators worldwide expecting demonstrable governance programmes, having a documented, operational framework is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a business requirement.
“We know we need an AI policy, but we do not know what it should cover, how to enforce it, or how to handle the tools people are already using.”
Policies Without Enforcement Are Suggestions
Technical Hardening & Monitoring
Cyber Analytica goes beyond documentation to conduct hands-on technical review and hardening of your primary AI platform, then defines the monitoring use cases your security team needs to detect and respond to AI-related risks in real time.
We conduct a detailed technical review of one primary AI platform, selected by you. This might be your Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment, ChatGPT Enterprise instance, GitHub Copilot rollout, Claude usage, or an Azure AI environment. We review identity controls, admin settings, access permissions, configuration options, and data boundaries, then support implementation of the agreed changes.
“We rolled out Copilot across the business but nobody has reviewed the security settings, and we have no way to tell if someone is feeding sensitive data into it.”
Hardening Deliverables
Hardening Checklist & Action Log
Reviewed settings, agreed changes, and implementation status.
Platform Configuration Review
Identity, access, configuration, and data boundary review for one primary AI platform.
AI Monitoring Use Cases
Suitable for SOC, IT operations, or governance review.
AI Incident Playbooks
Unsanctioned use, data exposure, excessive permissions, suspicious agent activity.
Residual Risk Log
Accepted risks and outstanding actions, documented.
Hardening tells you what to lock down. Monitoring tells you when something happens anyway. You need both.
Board-Ready, Not Jargon-Heavy
Executive Readout & Roadmap
The engagement concludes with a clear, business-facing presentation of findings, not a jargon-heavy report that gathers dust. Cyber Analytica delivers a practical readout designed for your leadership team, with a prioritised roadmap that tells you exactly what to do next.
Executive Readout
Findings, risk themes, progress made, residual risks, and practical next-step recommendations. Designed for your board and leadership team, not your security analysts.
90-Day Prioritised Roadmap
Quick wins, medium-term hardening actions, adoption milestones, and managed service options, sequenced so you can defend the order to anyone who asks.
Editable Deliverables
Every artefact is provided in editable format so your team can maintain, extend, and evolve the framework as your AI landscape grows.
Key Takeaway:
“We need something we can take to the board that shows what the risks are, what we have done about them, and what still needs to happen.”
