Governance Framework
Define policy, accountability and controls so AI can be used with confidence and oversight.
Overview
Effective AI adoption depends on clarity: who can approve use, under what conditions, and with what controls in place. Orbital Intelligence designs governance frameworks that align to Australian legal and regulatory expectations, integrate with existing corporate governance, and provide clear approval pathways, reporting and audit-ready oversight.
The framework applies to internally developed solutions, configured platforms such as Microsoft 365, and third-party tools with embedded AI capabilities.
Our approach
We start from your current operating environment. Existing governance, privacy, cyber, data management and risk practices are reviewed and extended with AI-specific decision rights, standards and assurance arrangements. The result is a framework that fits established processes rather than running alongside them.
Outputs are delivered in your preferred corporate format and structured for day-to-day use, not shelf storage.
Deliverables
Responsible AI policy and standards: Acceptable and prohibited uses, human oversight requirements, data handling rules, and review cadence.
Governance model and RACI: Defined roles, responsibilities and escalation pathways for AI initiatives, including executive and committee oversight.
Risk and control matrix: Mapping of key AI risks such as accuracy, bias, privacy, security and vendor exposure to specific controls and assurance activities.
AI systems register and classification: A maintained register of AI tools and use cases, including ownership, risk tiering, approvals and review dates.
Procurement and vendor due diligence pack: Evaluation criteria and checklists for third-party AI tools, including data handling, security and contractual considerations.
Assurance and reporting cadence: Defined monitoring, review and reporting arrangements, including incident triggers and executive reporting.
Implementation plan: A staged rollout covering governance adoption, communications, training and compliance touchpoints.
Indicative pricing
Advisory offerings are priced as indicative ranges because scope varies with organisational size, regulatory exposure, the number of business units involved, and how many use cases are required. All fees are ex-GST (AUD).

Clear governance removes uncertainty. When approval pathways, controls and accountabilities are defined, teams can adopt AI with confidence and leadership can demonstrate responsible oversight.
