Deploying AI Within your Firm

Rolling out AI tools to your team shouldn’t mean choosing between speed and control. PBI helps you launch AI tools the right way: approved, monitored, and backed by real oversight from day one.

How We Get You There:

01

Policy & Compliance

A written AI policy with clear use cases, a formal approval process before any new tool goes live, and regular audits to confirm it’s followed.

02

Technical Controls

Unapproved tools blocked at the network level, enterprise-tier licensing enforced across the team, and AI access to company data restricted to what’s approved.

03

Governance Oversight

A cross-functional committee with sign-off authority on every tool before launch, a documented review schedule, and independent third-party validation.

04

Continuous Assessment

Ongoing risk reviews as tools and usage evolve, tracking of relevant regulatory guidance, and annual reassessment of vendor terms.
