G1 Governance 1st
The AI governance platform · v.2026

Governance that actually works.

Governance 1st turns NIST AI RMF into a daily operating system. Every committee meeting, every policy update, every guardrail, every incident, every model in your stack, one platform, one source of truth, one place where governance becomes work that gets done instead of work that gets talked about.

The framework

Seven steps.
One operating system.

Every governance program follows the same arc, assemble accountability, identify scope, document the rules, train the people, install the guardrails, watch the outputs, and grow what works. We just made each step a real, working part of the product, not a slide.

7 steps to AI governance
The platform

Nine modules.
One governance OS.

Each module solves a piece the framework demands and stops at exactly that. No bloat. No shelfware. Everything wired into a shared use-case registry, audit log, and approval engine.

01

Governance Committees

Stand up oversight committees with structured agendas, voting, decision logs, and tracked action items, so accountability is documented, not assumed.

  • Meeting cadence + agendas
  • Member roles & responsibilities
  • AI-detected action items from notes
02

Use Case & Risk Registry

Catalog every AI use case in the organization. Score each on a 3×3 probability/impact matrix. Route approvals through the committee with full audit trail.

  • Probability × impact scoring
  • Risk-tier-driven approval routing
  • Use-case classification AI
03

Documentation Hub

Upload policies, procedures, audit reports, training materials. The platform AI-summarizes, critiques, and maps each document to the frameworks you operate under.

  • 19+ document types supported
  • Auto-map to NIST / HIPAA / GDPR / SOC 2
  • AI critique + podcast-style summary
04

Training & Certification

Curated AI training across four levels, Fundamentals, Professional, Technical, Executive, with built-in exams and per-employee certification tracking.

  • Level-based course catalog
  • Built-in exams + cert tracking
  • HRIS-synced enrollment
05

Safeguards

Two layers of protection: behavioral guardrails that bound what your AI is allowed to do, and content filters that block patterns you don't want appearing. Same 10-behavior, 200-rule taxonomy that powers the Governance 1st Browser Extension. Test in sandbox before promoting.

  • 10-behavior, 200-rule library
  • Regex + semantic pattern builder
  • Sandbox before production
06

Monitor & Control

Ten behavior evaluators sit on every model call. Custom dashboards. Real-time alerts. The kill switch is one click and it's tied to the use-case registry.

  • Hallucination · Drift · Bias · Dangerous advice · Injection
  • Refusal calibration · Bigotry · Logical fallacy · Partisanship · Misinformation
  • Custom widgets + dashboards
07

Policy Generator

Pick a framework. Pick a template. The platform fills in your organization's specifics, lets you edit, and exports a ready-to-circulate policy document.

  • 10+ framework templates
  • Auto-fill organization placeholders
  • Versioned approval flow
08

AI Directory

Every model from every provider, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Cohere, and 10+ more. Per-model cost, rate limits, approval requirements, and a kill switch.

  • 15+ providers cataloged
  • Approval-gated procurement
  • Per-model spend caps
09

Grow & Scale

Workforce disruption analysis, AI adoption metrics, and a 10-milestone operational readiness checklist. The dashboard executives actually look at.

  • 10-milestone readiness score
  • Workforce impact projections
  • Adoption + cost analytics
The evaluators

Ten things
watching every prompt.

Monitoring isn't a dashboard. It's a set of evaluators running on every model call, flagging the failure modes that matter to your committee, your auditor, and your user. Same 10-behavior taxonomy that drives the Governance 1st Browser Extension, with 200 underlying guardrails (20 per category) backing every score.

01

Hallucination

Detect when the model invents facts unsupported by retrieved context. Grounding, citation enforcement, math audits, temporal validity, entity coherence. 20 underlying rules.

02

Drift

Behavioral shift detection over time. Catch silent regressions after vendor updates before users do. Semantic baseline tracking, perplexity audits, shadow-deployment comparison.

03

Bias

Statistical and language-pattern bias scoring across protected classes. Demographic parity, occupational stereotyping, name-based scoring, counterfactual substitution.

04

Dangerous Advice

Hard-blocks on unlicensed medical diagnosis, financial picks, legal strategy, CBRN content, malware generation, lethal-force optimization, and 14 more high-harm categories.

05

Injection / Jailbreaking

Prompt-injection and jailbreak attempts logged, blocked, and routed to safeguards. System prompt encapsulation, suffix filtering, DAN pattern matching, dual-LLM separation.

06

Refusal Calibration

Track when the model refuses, why, and whether the refusal aligns to policy. Catch over- and under-refusal. Intent classification, tone auditing, granular reason labeling.

07

Bigotry

Near-zero-tolerance hard floor. Slurs, dehumanizing analogies, genocide rationalization, eugenics, transphobic rhetoric, dogwhistles, hate-group ideology, post-generation toxicity scan.

08

Logical Fallacy

Structurally broken reasoning delivered fluently. Ad hominem, straw man, slippery slope, false dichotomy, correlation-as-causation, circular reasoning, hasty generalization.

09

Partisanship

The model picking a political side. Candidate endorsement, loaded adjectives, asymmetric treatment of left-vs-right policy. Multi-perspective balance, source disclosure, partisan anchor detection.

10

Misinformation

Confident assertions contradicting verified consensus. Anti-vax claims, election fraud narratives, climate denial, fabricated quotes, predatory MLM scripts. Consensus alignment, integrity shields.

Frameworks

Speaks every
compliance language
your auditors do.

Pick the regimes that apply. The platform maps your policies, use cases, and controls to each automatically, so reviews, audits, and certifications stop being one-off projects.

NIST AI RMF ISO/IEC 42001 SOC 2 HIPAA GDPR FedRAMP PCI DSS CCPA Colorado AI Law EU AI Act CIS Controls + custom regimes
Integrations

Where your
people already work.

Native connectors to the systems running your workforce data and your communications stack. Sync rosters, certifications, calendars, document libraries, and incident channels.

BambooHR

Roster sync, certification tracking, role data for use-case scoping.

ADP

Headcount + role mapping for workforce disruption analysis.

Workday

HRIS as source of truth for org structure and committee membership.

UKG

Employee population and certifications for training compliance.

Google Workspace

Drive for documents, Gmail for incident channels, Calendar for meetings.

Microsoft 365

SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, same scope, Microsoft side.

+ HRIS APIs

Generic adapter pattern. If you have an HRIS, we can plug in.

Government data

Census, EEOC, OPM, Regulations.gov, USAspending, public data wired in.

Model providers

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Cohere, AWS Bedrock, and more.

Why not DIY

Spreadsheets
don't scale
governance.

Most companies start with a Word doc, a SharePoint folder, and a quarterly meeting. Then someone asks "where's the use case for this agent?" and the system breaks.
