Governed AI. Defensible decisions. Compliance built in from day one.
Symbatek's AI governance services help regulated organizations adopt artificial intelligence safely, compliantly, and with full accountability — from initial readiness assessment through ongoing executive oversight.
We lead with governance, security, and cloud-native architecture — then deliver execution that holds up in audits, satisfies compliance teams, and earns board confidence.
Our AI practice is built on production experience — active AI and MLOps architecture at a major federal agency, agentic AI security and governance advisory for a global commercial enterprise, and more than two decades of compliance-first cloud architecture across government, healthcare, and financial services.
Symbatek is the right AI partner when:
You want to explore or adopt AI, but need governance guardrails in place first
Your organization lacks clear AI ownership, policy, or accountability structure
You operate in a regulated environment — public sector, healthcare, CJIS, FTI, PCI, or Gramm-Leach-Bliley
You need pilots designed to scale into production — not throwaway demos
You need a trusted advisor who will tell you what not to do, not just what you could do
You want AI leadership without the cost of a full-time Chief AI Officer
AI Compass ™
AI Readiness, Governance & Roadmap
Establish clarity and control before investing in AI execution. AI Compass is not a generic assessment. It is a decision-grade AI control framework that gives your leadership team a clear, defensible position on where AI fits in your organization — and where it does not.
WHAT IT SOLVES
Unclear AI direction. Unmanaged compliance risk. Fragmented decision-making. Budget spent before governance is in place.
WHAT YOU GET
AI readiness and risk assessment across people, data, security, and governance
Cloud and data architecture review (AWS / Azure / GCP)
Compliance gap analysis aligned to your specific regulatory environment (CJIS, FTI, HIPAA, FedRAMP, NIST AI RMF)
GenAI, Copilot, and LLM suitability assessment for your use cases
Vendor and platform recommendations — unbiased, environment-specific
12 to 18 month AI roadmap: prioritized, budget-aware, and executive-ready
ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Structured initial 4–6 week engagement. Defined deliverables. Scope varies by environment complexity, regulatory obligations, and number of stakeholders. Contact us to discuss your situation.
NATURAL NEXT STEP
Most AI Compass clients move into AI Steward™ for ongoing governance leadership, or into SecureAI Launchpad™ to execute a governed pilot on a high-priority use case.
AI Steward™
Fractional Chief AI Officer (Monthly Retainer)
Most organizations need someone accountable for AI decisions, governance and risk every month — not a one-time assessment, and not a full-time executive hire. AI Steward gives you ongoing AI governance leadership, decision support, and accountability without the overhead.
WHAT IT SOLVES
Lack of AI ownership and accountability. Governance drift after an initial assessment. Executive and board risk exposure. Vendor decisions made without qualified oversight.
WHAT YOU GET
Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) leadership
AI governance and policy oversight — acceptable use, data boundaries, model lifecycle
Architecture and security reviews for AI initiatives
Vendor and model evaluation with compliance-first scoring
Board and executive-level briefings on AI risk posture
AI risk register maintenance and mitigation tracking
Ongoing compliance alignment as regulations evolve
Incident response guidance for AI-related issues
Policy and standards development and maintenance
ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Engagement type: Monthly retainer engagement. Minimum 3-month commitment. Engagement depth scales to your governance program requirements, reporting cadence, and compliance environment. Contact us to discuss your situation.
NATURAL NEXT STEP
Light engagement (advisory only, 1-2 executive touchpoints/month)
Standard engagement (governance + reviews + monthly briefing)
Enterprise SMB (full governance program, board support)
SecureAI Launchpad™
Governed AI Pilot & Execution
When you are ready to move from strategy to execution, SecureAI Launchpad takes your highest-priority AI use case into a governed, auditable pilot. We design and deploy production-grade pilots on AWS, Azure, or GCP — secure, auditable, compliant, and built to scale.
WHAT IT SOLVES
Risky, undocumented GenAI experiments. Insecure LLM integrations. PoCs that security and compliance teams cannot approve for production. Pilots that prove functionality but not deployability.
WHAT YOU GET
Use case selection and risk-tiering against your compliance environment
Governed AI architecture design across AWS, Azure, or GCP (FedRAMP, CJIS, PCI or HIPAA-scoped where applicable)
Model selection, data pipeline design, and security control mapping
Production deployment with full audit trail and monitoring
Go/no-go recommendation backed by architecture your security and compliance teams can approve
Handoff documentation and operational runbook
ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Governed pilot engagement. Defined scope. FedRAMP, CJIS, and HIPAA-scoped engagements reflect additional compliance and documentation requirements. Contact us to discuss your situation.
NATURAL NEXT STEP
Not sure which engagement is right for you? Most clients start with AI Compass™. It gives you the clarity and roadmap to decide what comes next — without committing to execution before you are ready.
How all three engagements work together
Our three AI service offerings are designed to progress naturally — each one building on the last, with no forced upsell and no artificial gate between them.
AI Compass™ → Gives leadership clarity and a defensible roadmap
AI Steward™ → Provides ongoing governance, accountability, and executive leadership
SecureAI Launchpad™ → Executes a specific use case safely and at production quality
Most clients begin with AI Compass™, then move into a retainer relationship through AI Steward™. SecureAI Launchpad™ is typically initiated when a specific high-priority use case has been identified and scoped through the Compass or Steward engagement.
If you are unsure which engagement is right for your organization, start with a 30-minute discovery call. We will tell you honestly which — if any — of our services fits your current situation.
