Aureus Govern

A fixed-scope, fixed-fee assessment of the AI systems you already run. Each system is benchmarked against four governance frameworks and returned as evidence your board, your auditor, and your regulator can work with.

The problem Govern solves

Deployment ran ahead of governance

Copilot is live. A chatbot is answering customer questions. Somewhere, an automated process is making decisions that affect real people. None of it has been formally assessed, documented, or assigned an owner.

That gap stays invisible until a board member, an auditor, or a regulator asks a direct question: which AI systems do we run, what risks do they carry, and who is accountable for them? Most organisations cannot answer in writing.

From December 2026, Privacy Act reforms introduce transparency obligations for automated decision-making. Organisations that can already evidence their AI footprint will treat that date as routine. Organisations that cannot will be starting from zero under time pressure.

What an assessment covers

Every Aureus Govern assessment benchmarks your AI systems - Microsoft, Anthropic, or otherwise — against four core frameworks, with a fifth available on request:

–

Australia's 8 AI Ethics Principles
The Australian Government’s primary framework for responsible AI, covering Privacy Protection & Security, Transparency & Explainability, Accountability, Fairness, and Contestability.

–

ISO/IEC 42001:2023
The international AI Management System standard. Your system is mapped against all seven clauses, identifying where governance evidence exists and where gaps remain on the path to conformance.

–

NIST AI Risk Management Framework
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI-specific framework, assessed across its four functions: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage

–

Microsoft Responsible AI Standard
Applied when Microsoft platforms are in scope - Copilot, Azure AI, Power Platform - mapped to Microsoft's own six principles.

–

UK AI Regulation White Paper (optional)
Available for organisations with UK operations or stakeholders. Included on request.

The result is a scored position per system, not a generic maturity rating. You see exactly where each system stands, what the gap is, and what closing it costs in effort.
