How Do You Put AI Into Production Without Losing Control?
Governor IQ defines what AI may access, what it may do, what requires approval, what must be logged and what happens when the workflow fails or reaches a cost limit. It turns governance requirements into operating controls.
What Is Governor IQ?
Governor IQ is VaultedAI's governance and control product for business AI and automation.
It can define and implement:
- Data boundaries
- Access rules
- Approved tools
- Human review
- Audit logs
- Error handling
- Manual override
- Budget alerts
- Cap behavior
- Vendor inventory
- Retention
- Incident response
Why Do Businesses Need an AI Control Layer?
AI adoption often begins before governance.
Employees may paste information into public tools, connect unreviewed applications, create agents with excessive permissions or automate communications without an approval model.
Governor IQ identifies those risks and creates a controlled operating design.
What Does an AI Usage Policy Cover?
An AI usage policy may define:
- Approved uses
- Prohibited information
- Approved vendors
- Account ownership
- Data handling
- Human review
- Customer communication
- Record retention
- Incident reporting
- Cost approval
- Testing
- Responsibility
A policy alone is not enough. Governor IQ connects the policy to the technical workflow where possible.
How Are Data Boundaries Designed?
The system identifies:
- Source systems
- Data categories
- Users
- Roles
- Approved destinations
- Retrieval rules
- Restricted fields
- Retention requirements
- Logging requirements
The workflow receives only the approved context required for the task.
Which Actions Should Require Approval?
- Sensitive communications
- Pricing
- Contract language
- Financial commitments
- High risk qualification
- Destructive changes
- Exceptions to policy
- External publication
- Unusual cost
- Low confidence decisions
How Are Decisions and Actions Recorded?
Governor IQ can define a logging schema that records:
- Trigger
- Input source
- User
- Decision
- Rule
- Confidence
- Action
- Approval
- Output
- Failure
- Override
- Cost
- Timestamp
What Happens When AI Is Uncertain?
The workflow can:
- Ask for more information
- Route to a review queue
- Restrict the action
- Provide a draft only
- Require approval
- Use a deterministic rule
- Stop safely
How Are Vendor Risks Reviewed?
A vendor review may consider:
- Contract terms
- Data use
- Retention
- Account ownership
- Access model
- Security controls
- Subprocessors
- Logging
- Export
- Portability
- Cost
- Failure behavior
The client and its advisors make final legal and regulatory determinations.
How Are Costs Governed?
Governor IQ can implement:
- Usage tracking
- Cost by workflow
- Budget thresholds
- Alerts
- Approval at 90 percent
- Hard stop
- Reduced frequency
- Lower cost model
- Priority processing
- Human fallback
What Does a Governor IQ Engagement Deliver?
- AI inventory
- Risk register
- Data map
- Access matrix
- AI usage policy
- Approval matrix
- Logging schema
- Vendor review checklist
- Budget policy
- Incident procedure
- Runbook
- Implementation backlog
Who Is Governor IQ Built For?
Governor IQ is designed for organizations that:
- Use AI with internal data
- Operate regulated or sensitive workflows
- Need client or board oversight
- Have multiple AI vendors
- Allow AI to take actions
- Need cost control
- Need auditability
- Are moving from experiments to production
What Is the First Step?
Identify every current AI tool, integration, data source and action, then classify what is approved, unapproved or unknown.
