AI governance posture your COLP can see
The AI Governance & Audit Agent assesses your AI-governance and compliance posture against the EU AI Act, NIST, ISO 42001, and the SRA. It triages AI use cases, runs AI impact assessments, reviews vendor AI terms, and builds the risk registers and board reports your COLP needs.
The evidence the regulator asks for, already there.
SRA rules on governance, compliance records, and risk management already apply to AI, and the EU AI Act adds classification, transparency, and oversight duties on top. Yet most firms govern AI with spreadsheets and good intentions.
What goes wrong
- No AI risk register, which the SRA expects under its risk-management rules
- AI use cases never classified against EU AI Act risk tiers
- Evidence assembled by hand, days of work before each inspection
From your question to a governed answer
Not a black box. Every step is visible, checkable, and governed. Here's exactly what happens when you use the AI Governance & Audit.
Data flows in from every agent
Each agent produces governance data as it works — what was processed, checked, passed, or escalated — which this agent gathers and organises.
Use cases are triaged
Each AI use is classified against EU AI Act risk tiers (Art 6, Annex III), so high-risk uses are identified and treated accordingly.
Posture is assessed
The firm's AI governance is measured against the EU AI Act (Art 13 transparency, Art 14 human oversight, Art 99), NIST, ISO 42001, and the SRA.
AIAs and vendor reviews run
AI impact assessments are run for new use cases, and vendor AI terms are reviewed for governance and compliance risk.
The risk register and dashboard stay current
The register updates as usage changes, and a live COLP dashboard shows which agents are in use, by whom, with what verification and compliance outcomes.
Board reports build themselves
Periodic or on-demand reports built around what the SRA and the EU AI Act ask for, with incidents logged and escalated.
Every output governed by:

Everything the AI Governance & Audit can do
Every capability runs on our own legal database and through the same governance — checked, compliant, and logged.
- Posture assessment against the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the SRA
- AI use-case triage — classifying each use against EU AI Act risk tiers (Art 6, Annex III)
- AI impact assessments (AIAs) run end to end
- Vendor AI terms reviewed for governance and compliance risk
- Risk registers kept current, in line with SRA risk-management rules
- Board reports and a live COLP dashboard of AI usage, risk, and readiness
Who the AI Governance & Audit is for
- COLPs accountable for AI compliance under the SRA Standards and Regulations
- Managing partners overseeing AI adoption and risk across the firm
- Risk and compliance teams preparing for the EU AI Act or an SRA inspection
Governance guarantee
This is the governance, made visible. Every agent on the platform produces audit data as it runs; this agent brings it together and assesses it against the EU AI Act (Art 6, Annex III, 13, 14, 99), NIST, ISO 42001, and the SRA — so the firm holds the evidence regulators ask for, ready to go.
In practice
Real scenarios, real outcomes
How different roles in your firm would use the AI Governance & Audit — with specific scenarios and governed outcomes.
Scenario
An SRA notice asks how the firm governs its use of AI, with a tight deadline.
Governed outcome
A complete evidence pack from the dashboard: risk register, usage figures, verification metrics, training records, and incident log, assembled in hours.
Scenario
The board wants to understand AI adoption and risk before the strategy review.
Governed outcome
A board-ready summary: which teams use AI, how often, and with what governance outcomes, plus a risk heatmap by practice area.
Scenario
Preparing for the EU AI Act's high-risk obligations.
Governed outcome
Each AI use case classified against Annex III, with transparency and human-oversight gaps surfaced and tracked.
What makes this different
Built for legal work, not relabelled for it
Governance built in, not bolted on
Every agent produces audit data as it runs; this agent assesses it, rather than starting a separate exercise.
Real frameworks, not a generic checklist
Measured against the EU AI Act, NIST, ISO 42001, and the SRA specifically.
Live, not a quarterly PDF
The COLP sees whether AI use is within tolerance now, not three months later.
One dashboard for every agent
Built-in and custom agents land their governance data in the same place.
Built on our own legal database
The AI Governance & Audit checks every output against BAILII, legislation.gov.uk, EUR-Lex, and our own legal database — a curated, constantly updated source we built in-house for faster checking. It's our own work, and it lets us cross-reference across jurisdictions in ways the public sources can't on their own.
Built-in governance
How Verify, Comply, Prove works for the AI Governance & Audit
Every agent on LegalAI Space runs through the same three steps. Here's exactly what that means for ai governance & audit outputs.
The audit trail itself is trustworthy
The record has to be reliable for the posture assessment to mean anything. We make sure the data behind the dashboards and reports is a true account of what happened.
- A tamper-evident, signed record — entries can't be edited or deleted once made
- Cross-checks between agent activity logs and the dashboard
- Timestamps checked so the order of events holds up
- Completeness checks — no gaps in the trail
Posture checked against the real frameworks
The Regulatory Compliance Check measures the firm's AI governance against the specific obligations that apply. Not a consultancy framework — the EU AI Act, NIST, ISO 42001, and the SRA.
- EU AI Act: risk classification (Art 6, Annex III), transparency (Art 13), human oversight (Art 14), Art 99
- SRA rules on governance, compliance records, and risk management applied to AI
- SRA competence (rule 3.3): staff trained and competent to use AI tools
- SRA Principle 7: clients informed where AI materially affects the service
The evidence the SRA and EU AI Act ask for
In an inspection or a conformity check, the questions are specific: classification, oversight, records. This agent has the answers ready.
- An AI risk register with assessments, mitigations, and review history
- Use-case classifications against EU AI Act risk tiers
- Verification and compliance metrics: pass rates, failure types, resolution
- Incident log: what went wrong, how it was handled, what changed as a result
