Budget-ready governance ROI. Audit-ready evidence.
Your job is to fund the AI program that shows up in the strategic plan, and to answer for the risks that show up in the audit. Governance 1st gives you a defensible cost of governance, a documented control environment, and a fixed-price alternative to a rolling consulting spend.
Three tools that keep AI governance on-budget and audit-ready.
Governance 1st
Subscription platform, one line-item, replaces most of the consulting spend on framework work. Every control, every piece of evidence, every remediation ticket is in one workspace an auditor can log into.
Browser Extension
Per-seat pricing that scales with your workforce, not with your consulting firm. The lowest-cost path to real AI-use visibility, and often the whole business case in one line.
Policy FastTrack
Avoid the six-figure policy engagement. Generate the compliant policy suite in-platform, have legal review the diff, and put the savings into the workstreams that matter.
Fixed-price governance, not a rolling consulting bill.
Governance 1st replaces the consulting-heavy pattern (assessment, gap register, policy drafting, implementation, evidence collection, re-assessment) with a platform subscription plus focused engagements. The result is a governance cost you can budget, defend, and scale, and an audit environment that doesn't require a war room to prepare.
One subscription line, not eleven consulting SOWs
The platform handles the inventory, risk register, controls, evidence, and monitoring. Consulting engagements shrink to focused audit and implementation work, priced per scope, not per hour.
Every control, every finding, evidenced
When the external auditor asks "show me," you export a package cross-referenced to NIST AI RMF, SOC 2, HIPAA, or whatever framework applies. No document scavenger hunt.
Documented posture your D&O carrier can price
A live, evidenced governance program materially changes the AI-liability conversation with your insurance broker. We provide the artifacts that make that conversation shorter.
Cost per employee stays flat as the program matures
Adding a business unit or a jurisdiction doesn't add a new consulting engagement. The framework, evidence model, and monitoring capacity are shared infrastructure.
The cheapest possible line item that answers the AI-risk question.
Per-seat pricing, deploys through your existing browser management, no professional services required to install. In many organizations the extension is the entire pilot business case: it produces real telemetry that justifies the full program spend.
Predictable per-seat cost
You know the exact spend per employee, month one and month twelve. No hidden implementation fees, no consultant hourly rates for deployment.
Immediate cost avoidance
A single blocked credit card, MRN, or source-code paste often justifies a year of subscription. The extension quantifies that avoided loss as a monthly report.
Business-case data for the full program
Extension telemetry becomes the evidence in the SOW conversation for Governance 1st. You bring the finance team real numbers, not vendor slides.
Kill the policy consulting line.
Custom AI policy engagements typically run six figures and eight to sixteen weeks. Policy FastTrack generates a tailored, jurisdiction-aware, named-tool policy suite in-platform; your legal team reviews the output rather than drafting from scratch. The savings fund the parts of the program that consulting firms can't automate.
Replace the policy SOW
Most of the deliverables in a policy engagement are the document set itself. Policy FastTrack produces those in an afternoon; legal review is the residual work.
Auditors don't just want a policy, they want the enforcement
Every clause is mapped to the platform control that enforces it, so the audit follow-up ("show me you actually do this") has an answer.
