Facts
As an early certified company, we put our own AI governance framework into practice. Even with rules in place, operations will not work if employees on the ground are unaware of them—and they are also assessed during recertification reviews every 2 years. We support you based on having navigated these pitfalls ourselves, not merely on theoretical advice. And because developing AI talent is our core business, we can combine AI governance training for employees and managers, enabling you to establish both rules and literacy at the same time.
We are also registered as 1 of the 6 certified consulting firms able to support companies in obtaining certification (as of August 4, 2026, according to JDLA).
The standard period from the initial kickoff to filing a certification application is about 8 weeks (2 months).
