We build your AI governance program — not a policy document, but a functioning system. Sovereign AI Framework™ deployment, vendor risk controls, and staff training for CPA firms, law firms, and medical practices.
78% of organizations are using AI in at least one business function. Only 25% have a fully implemented AI governance program. For professional services firms with client confidentiality obligations, that gap is not a compliance checkbox — it is an active professional ethics risk under AICPA ET Section 1.700, ABA Model Rule 1.6, and HIPAA's minimum necessary standard.
Most AI governance engagements produce documents. A policy template. A framework assessment. A recommendation deck. Axiom Sovereign builds operating systems — the actual policies your staff sign, the approved tool lists they reference, the technical controls that enforce the boundaries, and the governance structure that keeps the program current as the AI landscape evolves.
The difference between a governance document and a governance program is execution. We provide both.
"Most professional services firms have staff using AI tools that were approved for a different purpose entirely — personal productivity — but are being used with client data, patient records, and legally privileged communications. The firm has taken on legal and ethical liability it does not know about."
Anonymous staff survey identifying every AI tool in use, data types being entered, and governance gaps in current usage. Most firms discover 3–5x more AI tools than leadership believes exist.
Every tool evaluated against our Vendor Risk Scorecard. Classified as Approved, Conditional, or Prohibited. Approved list documented and distributed to all staff.
Drafted for your organization, referencing your professional ethics obligations by name. Specific prohibited uses, approved tool list, client disclosure requirements, and staff acknowledgment process.
Data Processing Agreements and Business Associate Agreements executed with all approved AI vendors that process personal data or PHI. Vendor relationships structured for compliance.
DLP configuration, DNS filtering for unapproved tools, Microsoft 365 Copilot configuration, audit logging for AI interactions. Controls that enforce the policy, not just describe it.
AI governance training for all staff covering approved tools, prohibited data types, professional ethics context, and incident reporting. Completion documented individually.
Our AI governance programs are built against established frameworks and regulatory requirements, not proprietary methodology. Every engagement produces documentation that is traceable to:
The Sovereign AI Framework is Axiom Sovereign's proprietary methodology for evaluating, governing, and operationalizing AI within professional services organizations. It addresses five domains: Discovery (what AI is in use), Assessment (what risk each tool creates), Governance (the policies and structures that manage that risk), Controls (the technical measures that enforce governance), and Monitoring (the ongoing processes that keep the program current). Technology Sovereign tier clients receive the full Framework implementation.
