AI Governance

Build an AI management system that keeps pace with how your people use AI

de.iterate is an Australian GRC platform with AI governance and ISO 42001 support built in. AI arrived in most businesses through browser tabs and feature updates. de.iterate helps you monitor and manage your AI risk using a management system that keeps up with your AI use cases.

Built on top of International AI frameworks, your de.iterate system can help with AI impact assessments, AI risk management, AI supply chain management and even dynamically monitor and report your AI risk metrics through the de.iterate fabric using automated key risk indicators.

de.iterate is certified to ISO 42001 through a JAS-ANZ accredited certification body, and was named GRC Provider of the Year at the 2026 Australian Cyber Awards.

We help you get your ducks in a row.

The AI nobody mentioned

Leadership knows about the official AI project, the one with a business case. Marketing is using three AI writing tools. Finance is trialling an AI add-on for reconciliations. A developer has been pasting code into a chatbot since March.

Larger organisations have an AI steering committee, an AI policy and a register with twelve approved use cases in it. The committee reviews the projects with a business case. Meanwhile, the CRM vendor switched on an AI assistant in the last release, the HR platform is screening applications with a model nobody evaluated, Copilot was enabled for 4,000 staff by a licensing decision rather than a governance one, and every SaaS tool procurement approved in 2023 has added features procurement never saw. The register is accurate for the AI the organisation chose. It says nothing about the AI the organisation was given.

“Who is responsible for AI?” is now a standard audit question. “Good question” is not a passing answer.

How de.iterate handles AI governance

AI governance works when you know which AI systems you have, including the ones your vendors switched on, someone is accountable for each, and the controls around them grow out of the security and privacy work you’ve already done rather than starting a third program from scratch. de.iterate is built that way. AI systems sit in de.iterate's register that links to your suppliers and risks, impact assessments and approvals are recorded against each one, and the AI management system shares its controls and testing with ISO 27001 and privacy, so “who is responsible for AI?” has an answer with a name on it.

ai-management-system

Build your AI management system on the work you've already done

Build your AI management system with ISO foundations and map it to international standards and obligations. AI control design and testing are shared with your existing ISO 27001 and privacy programs, so your AI risk management naturally develops out of the foundations you already have.

find-ai-tool

Find every AI tool, and keep an eye on change

Record your AI systems in de.iterate's configurable register, with the fields your AI management system needs. AI tools that touch your data cross-link with your de.iterate supplier registers, where you can note where the data goes and link each tool to your AI risks and controls.

verify-automations

Automations you can easily verify

Every automated suggestion in de.iterate arrives as a draft, with its reasoning and confidence stored alongside it. A human approves it before anything changes, which is the same kind of oversight management asks of you.

ai-responsibility

Put a name against every AI system

Each entry in the AI register carries an accountable owner, a business purpose and a review date, with roles mapped to the responsibilities ISO 42001 expects. When an auditor asks who is responsible for AI, the answer is a list of named people rather than a committee.

ai-rules

Set the rules for AI use, and prove people read them

Start from an AI acceptable use policy written by de.iterate's GRC experts. Distribute it through de.iterate's policy module, track who has read it, and reset attestation when the rules change, so the developer pasting code into a chatbot has seen the policy that says not to.

ai-impact-people

Understand how each AI system affects people

Assess the impact of each AI system on people and on your organisation, and keep a record of the risks, decisions, controls and approvals that follow, as well as the evidence that each step took place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most questions about AI governance come down to two things: how much of this applies to an organisation that uses AI rather than builds it, and what an auditor will actually ask for. The answers below cover both, along with how de.iterate’s own AI treats your data, which is a fair thing to ask of a platform that governs AI.

Do we need ISO 42001 if we only use AI tools and don't build them?

ISO 42001 applies to organisations that develop, provide or use AI. Whether to certify is a business decision, but an AI policy, an inventory of AI tools and an AI risk assessment are worth having either way. They'll also help at your next ISO 27001 audit.

What will an auditor want to see for AI?

Auditors are looking for evidence across your data, suppliers, risks, controls, policies and training. A good start is an inventory of the AI in use, AI tools on your supplier register, an AI policy with some automated risk monitoring and a named owner for AI risk.

How does de.iterate's own AI handle our data?

Every AI suggestion is a draft that a person approves, with the reasoning recorded. Your data is hosted in the jurisdiction you choose, Australia or the EU. Our Responsible AI statement has the details.

What is an AI management system (AIMS)?

An AI management system is the set of policies, processes and objectives an organisation uses to develop, provide or use AI responsibly. ISO 42001 sets out the requirements for one.

Does de.iterate support the EU AI Act?

Yes. The EU AI Act framework is built into de.iterate, so you can map its obligations alongside ISO 42001 and your other frameworks.

How do we find the AI tools already in use in our business?

Start by reviewing critical business processes, then check them against your supply-chain inventory. Record what you find in de.iterate, and add data types in use to your data register. Map everything using the de.iterate fabric and gain instant visibility into your risk surface. Our blog post Shadow AI: How to Find the AI Already in Your Business has more tips.

Is de.iterate certified to ISO 42001?

Yes. de.iterate is certified to ISO 42001 through a JAS-ANZ accredited certification body.

What makes de.iterate different
