Evaluate how artificial intelligence affects your organization’s security, governance, and technology risk. Tyson Martin helps boards, executives, and risk leaders identify material gaps, clarify decision rights, and turn assessment findings into defensible priorities. The approach connects AI oversight with cybersecurity, regulatory expectations, and business execution so leaders can move forward with greater clarity and fewer surprises.
Assess AI and cyber exposure, strengthen governance, and give boards clearer oversight of technology risk.
Build ongoing AI governance with an AI risk register, decision-rights map, board-ready reporting, employee policy templates, and recurring governance reviews.
Move from no formal AI governance toward a defensible framework through an assessment, decision-rights map, board-level policy, and facilitated director briefing.
Evaluate security maturity, identify gaps, connect spending to risk reduction, and produce a prioritized remediation roadmap with ownership and board-ready metrics.
Define and document the thresholds at which technology and cyber risk becomes unacceptable, supported by metrics, decision rights, and oversight mechanisms.
Prepare boards, executives, and response teams through tabletop exercises, incident readiness reviews, disclosure rehearsal, and backup and restore validation.
Review cyber and AI oversight posture in a focused workshop, identify the three most dangerous governance gaps, and create an executable board action plan.
An AI security risk assessment connects emerging AI use with the controls, governance, and accountability leaders need to oversee technology responsibly.
