AI Governance & Assurance
Artificial intelligence is already in Caribbean businesses — in staff tools, vendor products and customer-facing systems. Used well, it creates real advantage; used without governance, it creates risks around data, accuracy, compliance and accountability.
Dawgen Global helps organisations adopt AI responsibly: understanding where it is already in use, establishing governance frameworks and controls, and providing assurance that AI systems operate as intended and within your risk appetite.
The challenge
AI is arriving faster than most organisations’ ability to govern it. Staff may already use generative AI tools with client or company data, vendors embed AI in products you buy, and regulators are beginning to set expectations. Without a framework, organisations either adopt AI blindly or avoid it entirely — both carry cost.
Who it is for
- Boards and executives deciding how the organisation should use AI
- Organisations deploying AI tools in customer or decision processes
- Regulated entities needing assurance over automated decisions
- Businesses whose staff already use generative AI without policy
- Companies buying AI-enabled products from vendors
Signs you need us
- Staff use generative AI tools with no policy on what data can be entered
- You are deploying or buying AI-enabled systems without a governance review
- The board cannot say where AI is used in the organisation
- Automated decisions affect customers but are not reviewed for fairness or error
- A client, regulator or investor has asked about your AI governance
What we do
We help you get the benefits of AI while keeping the risks governed and accountable.
AI governance frameworks
Policies, roles and decision rights for responsible AI use across the organisation.
AI use and exposure inventories
Mapping where AI is already used — internally, in products bought, and in customer-facing processes.
Acceptable use policies
Practical rules for staff use of generative AI, protecting confidential and personal data.
AI risk and impact assessments
Assessment of specific AI use cases against accuracy, bias, privacy, security and accountability criteria.
Vendor AI diligence
Evaluation of AI capabilities in products you buy — what they do with your data and how they are controlled.
Controls and monitoring design
Human oversight, testing, logging and review procedures for AI systems in operation.
Board and executive briefings
Plain-language briefings on AI capabilities, risks and governance expectations.
How we work
Discover
We map where AI is already used and what decisions it touches.
Assess
We evaluate the risks of current and planned use against your context.
Govern
We establish the framework — policy, ownership, approval paths and oversight.
Assure
We design and test controls so AI systems operate as intended.
Review
We monitor use and update the framework as tools and expectations evolve.
What you receive
- A clear inventory of where AI is used in your organisation
- An AI governance framework and acceptable use policy
- Risk assessments for your significant AI use cases
- Controls and monitoring procedures for AI in operation
- Board-ready reporting on AI use, risk and controls
How it works in practice
Illustrative example. A professional services firm discovered that staff across several teams were using generative AI tools with client data, and that two vendors had quietly added AI features to core products. We mapped the exposure, drafted an acceptable use policy, assessed the high-risk use cases and set up an approval path for new AI tools. The firm gained the productivity benefits while bringing data and decisions under governance.
Where we work
We offer all of our services in every territory we serve, with every engagement planned, reviewed and quality-controlled from our Caribbean headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica. Some regulated services are performed by affiliated firms; we will advise you of the arrangements when you make a request.
Frequently asked questions
Our staff already use AI tools. What should we do first?
Start with an inventory and an acceptable use policy — knowing where AI is used and setting clear rules for what data can be entered is the highest-impact first step.
Does AI governance slow down adoption?
Done properly it speeds it up: clear rules let people use AI confidently instead of either avoiding it or taking unmanaged risks.
Do you help us choose AI tools?
We evaluate AI features in products you are considering and the risks of specific use cases — we are not tied to any vendor.
Is this relevant to a business that does not build AI?
Yes. Most AI risk comes from tools your staff and vendors use, not from AI you build yourself.
How are your fees set?
Our fees are tailored to each client, based on the scope and complexity of the work and the agreed deliverables, and are set out in your engagement letter.
