Industries We Serve in Detroit
Automotive and Manufacturing. Detroit's automotive sector operates under complex contractual, regulatory, and intellectual property frameworks. AI governance addresses OEM data sharing restrictions, ITAR compliance for defense-adjacent work, export control requirements, and supplier agreement obligations. We build programs that protect proprietary information while enabling productive AI adoption.
Financial Services. Rocket Mortgage, Ally Financial, Comerica, and Detroit's financial community face some of the strictest AI regulations in any industry. Fair lending laws, consumer protection, data privacy, and fiduciary duties constrain how AI can be used. We build governance programs that satisfy regulators while enabling the productivity gains these institutions need.
Healthcare. Henry Ford Health, DMC, Beaumont, and Detroit's healthcare community must navigate HIPAA, state health privacy laws, and clinical AI regulations. AI governance for healthcare addresses which tools can access patient data, how clinical AI decisions are documented, and what controls prevent unauthorized exposure.
Defense. Detroit's defense technology sector at TARDEC operates under ITAR, CMMC, and classified information handling requirements. AI governance for defense addresses how tools interact with controlled data and how usage is documented for compliance audits.
Higher Education. University of Michigan, Wayne State, and regional institutions face governance challenges across research, teaching, and administration. We build frameworks that address academic integrity, research data protection, and student privacy (FERPA).
What to Expect
Usage Audit. We discover and document every AI tool in use across your Detroit organization, including sanctioned and unsanctioned tools. We map data flows, identify risk exposure, and assess your current governance posture against applicable regulations and contractual obligations.
Policy Development. We draft AI governance policies tailored to your industry, regulatory environment, and risk tolerance. Policies cover acceptable use, data classification, vendor evaluation, incident response, and the governance committee structure. All policies are written to be enforceable, not aspirational.
Technical Controls. We implement the technical infrastructure that enforces your policies: data loss prevention rules that block sensitive data from reaching AI tools, access controls that limit AI tool usage by role, monitoring systems that track AI usage across the organization, and audit logging that creates the documentation trail regulators require.
Ongoing Governance. We establish the governance committee and review cadence that keep your program current as regulations evolve. Quarterly reviews assess new tools, new regulations, and new risk areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your team is using AI tools with company data, you already have AI risk. Governance gives you visibility into that usage, controls to manage the risk, and documentation that satisfies regulators, auditors, and enterprise customers who ask about your AI practices. For Detroit's regulated industries, governance is rapidly becoming a requirement, not an option.
Depending on your industry: the EU AI Act (if you have European customers), state privacy laws (CCPA, Illinois BIPA), industry regulations (HIPAA, SOX, FINRA, GLBA), ITAR and export controls (defense and dual-use), contractual data handling obligations, and emerging federal AI guidance. We map the specific regulations that apply to your organization.
Both. A policy without enforcement is a suggestion. We implement data loss prevention rules, access controls, monitoring systems, and audit logging that enforce your AI policies technically, not just procedurally. Technical controls ensure compliance even when employees are not thinking about governance.
A basic governance program with usage audit, core policies, and initial controls takes 4 to 8 weeks. A comprehensive enterprise program with technical controls, governance committee setup, vendor assessment framework, and training takes 3 to 6 months. Most Detroit organizations start with the core program and expand incrementally.
