AI compliance & governance

You can't comply with AI you can't see.

AI compliance starts with one question: which models actually run in your software, on what data, making which decisions? We surface every AI and LLM system in your code — including the shadow AI nobody reported — and map it to the laws that apply. The evidence base your counsel, board and regulator need.

Why now

The regulator stopped waiting for a federal answer.

US AI regulation didn't arrive as one law. It arrived as a patchwork — Colorado, California, Texas and New York City each writing their own rules, each with their own notices, audits and assessments. Every one of them assumes you can answer the same first question: where does AI run in your software, and what does it touch?

None of these can be answered from a slide. They require a read of the code — one that's independent, defensible, and traceable to the commit.

What the audit covers

Six dimensions of your AI compliance surface.

01

AI Footprint

Every model, API and LLM call in your stack. Which products use them, what data they touch, what decisions they produce. The inventory every AI law assumes you already have.

02

Shadow AI Discovery

The model a team wired in last quarter. The AI buried three layers deep in a dependency. We find the systems that never made it onto a slide — usually where the exposure hides.

03

Data Lineage to AI

Where customer, financial and regulated data flows into model decisions. The map your CDO, audit committee and privacy counsel all need to answer a CPPA or GDPR question.

04

Consequential-Decision Mapping

Which AI systems make decisions about people — hiring, lending, housing, insurance, education. The exact trigger for Colorado SB 205, NYC LL144 and California's automated-decision rules.

05

Regulatory Surface by Jurisdiction

Your AI footprint mapped against Colorado, California, Texas, NYC and the EU AI Act — plus NIST AI RMF alignment. Surfaced from the code, not from a compliance questionnaire.

06

Attestation-Ready Evidence

A signed, source-traced read your counsel can build notices, bias audits and risk assessments on — and a CEO can attest to. Independent, because it isn't your engineers grading their own homework.

The state-by-state patchwork

Four regimes most likely to reach you.

CO

Colorado AI Act (SB 205)

The first comprehensive US state AI law. A duty of care against algorithmic discrimination for high-risk systems making consequential decisions. Read the Colorado breakdown →

CA

California AI Laws

AB 2013, the SB 942 AI Transparency Act, CPPA automated-decision rules, and frontier-model SB 53 — a stack of overlapping obligations. Read the California breakdown →

TX

Texas TRAIGA

The Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act. Prohibited uses, intent-based standards, and Attorney General enforcement. Read the Texas breakdown →

NY

NYC Local Law 144

The automated employment decision tool law. An independent bias audit, published results, and candidate notice before the tool can run. Read the NYC breakdown →

Footprint + regulatory map

A signed AI footprint and a regulatory-surface map by jurisdiction — the evidence base your counsel maps to obligations. Plus a continuous layer for the next question.

Who this is for

When "we think we're fine" isn't an answer you can sign.

Counsel & compliance

You're being asked which AI laws apply and you can't produce the notices or assessments without knowing what AI is actually in production. We give you the technical read to map.

CEOs & boards

The board has AI risk on the agenda and someone has to attest. An independent, code-level read is defensible in a way your own engineering team's summary isn't.

Buyers & investors

You're acquiring or funding a company and need its AI exposure mapped before you sign. Independence is the value, and it has to be designed in.

AI compliance, answered

The questions before the audit.

What is an AI compliance audit?

An independent, code-level read of your software that surfaces every AI and LLM system you actually run — which models, in which products, touching what data, making which decisions — and maps that footprint to the AI laws that apply to you. It's the evidence base regulators, auditors and boards ask for, built by reading the codebase directly, not from a questionnaire filled out from memory.

Which AI regulations actually apply to my company?

The rules most likely to reach an ordinary mid-market company are the ones about using AI: the Colorado AI Act (SB 205), California's AB 2013, SB 942 and CPPA rules, Texas's TRAIGA, and NYC Local Law 144 — plus the EU AI Act if you touch the EU market. The common thread: you can't produce the required notices, bias audits or risk assessments until you know which AI systems are in your code and what they touch.

How do you find shadow AI nobody reported?

Manual inventories catch what people remember to report; they miss the model a team wired in last quarter and the AI buried in a dependency. We read the code, package tree and integration points to find every AI and LLM call, API and library in use — including the ones that never made it onto a slide. That gap is usually where your real exposure sits.

Why independent, instead of asking our own engineering team?

When someone has to attest and a regulator may rely on it, an answer produced by the same team that built the systems isn't the strongest ground to stand on. An independent, code-level read is defensible precisely because it isn't the engineering team grading its own homework — it's evidence, traceable to the commit, that a board, auditor or regulator can trust.

This page is general information, not legal advice. AI statutes and their effective dates are moving targets; confirm what applies to you with your own counsel. We produce the technical read — the source-traced map of the AI in your code — that your counsel maps to the obligations that actually bind you.
