AI Governance
Governance and operating controls for organizations that need more than prompts.
Serious AI systems need policies, approved knowledge, access control, human review, audit trails, risk controls, and evidence. NEMS provides the governance layer behind NGCI's AI platforms and custom builds. Built and rehearsal-proven; productizing now.
What NEMS controls
The controls, designed into the system.
Controlled documents
Version-controlled SOPs, policies, and records — a single source of truth.
Policies & procedures
ISO 9001 / 27001 / 42001 and CMMI-aligned, clause mapped to control.
Approval workflows
Maker-checker — no one approves their own work, enforced in the database.
Risks & controls
A live register tying risks to the controls that mitigate them.
Audits & CAPA
Findings can't close without evidence; corrective actions need an independent verifier.
Records & evidence
Evidence captured as work happens, kept audit-supporting and immutable.
Role-based accountability
Access and authority scoped to role — least privilege by design.
Maker-checker review
Separation of duties across every consequential action.
Human-in-the-loop gates
AI drafts; a person approves before anything is released.
NEMS is designed to support ISO 9001 / 27001 / 42001 and CMMI practices. NGCI does not claim formal certification; language here is governance-ready and compliance-aware, not a certification statement.
- Regulated and GovCon organizations
- Teams adopting AI that need real controls
- Quality, security, and compliance leads
- Policies in PDFs no one follows
- Self-approval and unclear ownership
- Ungoverned, unaudited AI outputs
- Controlled documents and maker-checker
- Audit evidence captured as work happens
- Continuous certification-readiness
Why it matters
What NEMS helps prevent.
Unapproved AI outputs
Stale knowledge reuse
Unclear ownership
Missing audit evidence
Self-approval
Policy drift
Uncontrolled documents
Ungoverned automation
