This guide will not make you invincible. Nothing will. Governance unlocks creativity. It will move you out of the way and become an extremely hard target to hit. That is the goal. Not Fort Knox. Not perfect. Just not the easiest target.
Work through this with your leadership team. Not with IT alone. With the people who make governance decisions, hiring decisions, vendor decisions, and policy decisions. Because that is where the gap lives.
There is also a complimentary AI Workshop and AI Security Live training available with QR Codes to sign up.

- This two-page actionable checklist walks your leadership team through every AI governance decision that matters, from approved tools to incident response, without requiring a technical background to use it.
- It covers three critical layers most businesses skip entirely: foundation policies, real-time security visibility, and the human risk factors that no software can fix on its own.
- Shadow AI, meaning the tools your employees are already using that nobody approved, gets addressed directly with a vendor review process and an approved tool list your team can build from day one.
- The People section tackles threats most governance guides ignore, including deepfake exposure from executive recordings, BYOD risks, and AI-assisted fake hiring scams targeting companies right now.
- It closes with a clear next step: a complimentary AI Workshop or Cyber Awareness Lunch and Learn with NetGain’s team, so the checklist becomes a roadmap, not just a document.
