§ Two doors·secure it, then govern it

Find the right starting point.

Most financial institutions arrive with one of two problems: an AI deployment that has never been security-tested, or governance pressure from examiners, the board, or a procurement team. Start where you are.

Security first

Is your Copilot actually attackable?

Most AI deployments have never been tested for prompt injection, data leakage, or agent abuse. Before you govern it, find out whether it can be broken. Start with an AI Security X-Ray.

Governance pressure

Under examiner, board, or procurement pressure on your AI?

Audit-readiness AI governance aligned to the supervisory expectations your examiners apply — SR 11-7, third-party risk, fair lending, and UDAP/UDAAP — with ISO 42001 / NIST AI RMF for procurement and board assurance.

§ What this is·and what it isn't

Readiness consulting. Not certification.

DSE provides AI governance and compliance readiness consulting and AI security testing. We are not an accredited certification body and do not issue ISO/IEC 42001 certificates or certify EU AI Act or NIST AI RMF compliance. Only accredited certification bodies or notified bodies do that.

We cannot guarantee passing an audit or avoiding enforcement, and we do not provide legal advice. We work alongside your counsel. Where we describe "mapping to" SR 11-7, third-party risk, fair lending, UDAP/UDAAP, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, SOC 2, or ISO 27001, that means advisory alignment, not certification.

All engagements are governed by a signed SOW / MSA that includes a limitation of liability.
