AI assurance,
evidenced.
Organisations have adopted AI faster than they have learned to govern it. When a client, a regulator or a board asks how exposed you are, most cannot answer.
We produce a documented, evidenced answer.
What you receive
A Statement of Assurance Evidence
The Statement sets out which standards apply to your organisation, what evidence exists against each, which have been reviewed and accepted and on what basis, and which remain outstanding — with what closing them would require.
This is a record, not a certificate. Ignivara iQ is not an accredited body and does not certify, audit or confirm compliance. What you receive is an evidenced position as at a stated date, an independent professional view of it, and a documented basis for both — which is what allows you to demonstrate that reasonable steps were taken, and to whom.
Evidenced, dated and specific — alongside a map of your AI-touched work, a prioritised roadmap, and a short board-ready read.
Business first. AI second.
Most assessments start with the technology and bolt business impact on afterwards. We map how your business actually works — the outcomes that matter, who owns them, how the work gets done — before examining what AI is doing inside it. The difference between an AI problem and an existing accountability problem that AI has made visible is a distinction only that order reveals.
We do not score.
Every AI governance dashboard on the market hands down a rating: a percentage, a maturity level, a traffic light. That number is precisely what makes those tools untrustworthy in a room, because it is software pretending to a judgement only an accountable person can legitimately make.
We surface the evidence. You can see exactly why every standard was raised and challenge any of it. A named consultant records the view, and can be asked about it afterwards.
Nothing is concluded that cannot be traced to a fact you recognise.
Four kinds of expectation
Every standard we examine is presented with what actually sits behind it — so you know who can act, and from when.
Enforceable now
Mostly UK GDPR. The regulator can act today, whether or not anything has gone wrong.
In force from a stated date
EU AI Act. Two obligations apply now; most from December 2027, and only where you touch EU users.
Contractual expectation
ISO 42001 and equivalents. No fine — but it appears in your clients' due-diligence questionnaires and in tenders.
No external enforcer
Nobody will ever ask. No fallback if a supplier withdraws; nobody can do the work manually any more.
Frequently the most expensive category of all — and the reason to use a person rather than a product.
