AIGN Frameworks for Companies
Modular. Field-Tested. Certifiable. Artificial Intelligence only realizes its potential safely when governance, culture, and technology work in harmony. With AIGN Frameworks, we provide companies with a clear, modular roadmap—enabling credible, sustainable, and legally robust AI governance.
Choose your starting point and design your governance journey—scalable, tailored, and future-proof.
1. Governance Culture Framework
(Culture-Only or as Starting Point)
Culture is not a “soft factor”—it’s the strongest lever for trustworthy AI.
With the AIGN Governance Culture Framework, you can make organizational culture, leadership, and ethics measurable, developable, and certifiable for the first time.
Your roadmap:
- Culture Scan: Analyze the current state (leadership, ethics, reflection, escalation, feedback)
- Culture Tools: Workshops, Ethics Reflex Canvas, Redline Register, KPI Builder, Leadership Pulse Check
- Structure & Roles: Introduce responsibilities, feedback loops, and culture champions
- Culture Maturity Scoring: Measure & rate progress—from “Initial” to “By Design”
- Certification: Achieve the “Governance Culture Verified” label (from Level 3 upwards)
- Continuous Development: Ongoing pulse checks, change management, storytelling, ESG integration
Best for companies aiming to:
- Strengthen transformation, trust, and innovation culture
- Embed governance sustainably from within
2. Global AI Governance Framework
(Without Culture Module)
Compliance, Technology & Regulation—World-Class, Modular, Auditable.
The AIGN Global AI Governance Framework is your operating system for all technical, regulatory, and organizational requirements of AI governance—modular, measurable, and internationally recognized.
Your roadmap:
- Readiness Check / Trust Scan: Diagnose your governance, risk, technical, and process landscape
- Governance Structure: Establish RACI roles, governance boards, policies, redlining
- Technical Implementation: MLOps, audit trails, explainability, Data Governance Scorecard, incident playbooks
- Maturity Assessment: Evaluate your organization across five maturity levels
- Trust Label: Achieve Basic/Full certification—recognized internationally
- Monitoring & Continuous Improvement: KPIs, audits, update cycles, incident and red-teaming
Best for companies aiming to:
- Focus on regulatory requirements (EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST, etc.) or technical control
- Gain a competitive edge through measurable compliance and trust labels
3. Combined Approach: Culture & Governance
(For comprehensive trust-building)
For companies seeking both:
Start with authentic trust culture, then build robust governance—for lasting impact and international certification.
Your modular journey:
- Culture Scan & Quick Wins: Establish your culture baseline and achieve fast, visible improvements
- Build Culture Structure: Champions, feedback mechanisms, KPI integration
- Achieve Culture Maturity (Level 3+): Embed measurable, sustainable culture
- Transition to Global Framework: Set up governance boards, run readiness checks, implement policies and incident playbooks

- Sustainability & Impact: ESG reporting, impact tracking, continuous improvement
Benefits:
- Credibility both internally and externally
