IMDA released MGF v1.5 at ATxSummit 2026. One case study shows what enforcement-layer governance actually requires. Read the analysis →

AI governance and assurance for autonomous systems.

Your AI agents are ready to act. Your governance isn’t.

Most AI pilots don’t stall on technology. They stall because nobody can evidence the controls around them.

Aivance identifies the missing control, tests whether it works at runtime, and gives your team a practical path to close the gap.

Enforcement Gap Review

A clear answer in 30 minutes.

We identify whether your controls satisfy the frameworks that apply, work reliably at runtime, and can be evidenced afterwards.

Within 48 hours, you receive a written diagnosis mapped to your applicable frameworks.

Is this your situation?

The situations that bring clients to Aivance.

Aivance works with organisations where AI carries material regulatory, contractual, or operational consequences.

Aivance is usually brought in by CROs, CISOs, enterprise architects, AI programme leads, compliance leaders, and technology executives who need a control decision they can defend.

The work is relevant where requirements arise from the IMDA Model AI Governance Framework, MAS AI risk expectations, ISO/IEC 42001, PDPA, contractual commitments, or board-level risk appetite.

01

Your AI pilot is blocked from production

Risk, compliance, security, or executive approval is holding back a system that already works technically.

02

Your governance controls cannot be evidenced

You have policies, registers, and dashboards, but cannot show that the right controls hold when the system acts.

03

Your autonomous system needs bounded authority

You need to define what an agent may do, when a human must intervene, and how the decision will be reconstructed later.

Where Aivance fits

The layer between AI governance and runtime enforcement.

Frameworks define expectations. Security and identity platforms provide technical capabilities. Engineering teams build the systems. Aivance connects those layers by defining what an autonomous system is authorised to do, under which conditions, and what evidence must exist when it acts.

Frameworks

Define expectations through regulation, standards, and risk appetite.

Security and identity

Authenticate systems, protect data, and provide technical capabilities.

Engineering

Build, integrate, and operate the production system.

Aivance

Translate governance intent into control requirements and evidence.

The governance stack

Governance is not complete until it can shape what the system does.

Most AI governance programmes are strong on policy and process. The gap appears at the execution boundary: can the system constrain, pause, or evidence a consequential action?

01

Policy layer

What the organisation says should happen: principles, obligations, risk appetite, and accountability.

02

Process layer

How people are expected to respond: approvals, reviews, escalation, monitoring, and reporting.

Where most governance programmes stop
03

Enforcement layer

What the system can technically do: allow, deny, or escalate an action based on verified conditions at runtime.

Aivance assesses and designs this layer

Runtime decisions

Allow

Execute within granted authority.

Deny

Prevent execution under current conditions.

Escalate

Hold for human approval.
