The Framework

Nine domains, covering the full lifecycle of AI governance.

The Veridio AI Governance Framework (VAGF) organises fifty-eight principles into nine domains, from strategic intent through operational control.

Each principle is mapped against thirteen or more regulatory instruments, scored across three maturity tiers, and supported by implementation templates.

AI governance is now compulsory. Enforcement is underway.

Every organisation using or developing AI now faces the same question from investors, regulators, auditors, and clients: can you evidence your governance? For three audiences in particular, the answer determines what happens next.

01

Founders preparing for investment

Investors now decline funding rounds where AI governance can't be evidenced. Due-diligence failure is the quiet deal-killer of 2026. A Veridio report answers the questions before they're asked, and shortens the round.

02

Compliance and governance leads

The EU AI Act's first enforcement deadlines have passed. The ICO statutory code on automated decision-making is in consultation. UK enforcement typically follows EU practice within eighteen months. Waiting is no longer available as a strategy.

03

Consultancies and accountancy firms

Your clients are asking AI governance questions their existing advisors can't answer. Every professional services firm now needs an AI governance answer. Veridio becomes yours, through partnership, referral, or licensed delivery.
