Australia's AI Governance Platform

Your organisation is running AI
you cannot see, govern,
or prove you managed.

We fix that.

Guvn.AI gives every Australian organisation complete visibility over every AI system in its environment, the controls to govern it, and the evidence to prove it — built natively for APRA, the Privacy Act and the boards who carry personal liability when AI goes wrong.

78% of Australians say current AI safeguards are inadequate
41% of enterprise employees use unsanctioned AI tools
Zero Australian-native AI governance platforms exist today
The Problem

Five crises. One source. No Australian solution — until now.

  • 01
    Security blind spots

    Shadow AI creates breach pathways IT cannot see — across browsers, endpoints, cloud services and autonomous agents operating inside your infrastructure.

  • 02
    Data leakage

    Employees paste sensitive organisational data, customer records, source code and financial information into AI systems outside enterprise visibility. 46% of sensitive AI inputs are sent to personal accounts rather than sanctioned corporate tools.

  • 03
    Compliance gaps

    Boards cannot produce audit evidence for frameworks now arriving: APRA CPS 234, NAIC AI6, Privacy Act 1988. Manual processes cannot keep pace with the regulatory timeline.

  • 04
    Cost sprawl

    Duplicate AI subscriptions, uncontrolled API spend and ungoverned SaaS AI tools are invisible to the CFO. No organisation can optimise what it cannot see.

  • 05
    Director liability

    Under Corporations Act s.180, directors face personal exposure for AI risks they cannot demonstrate were identified, assessed and managed. Ignorance is not a defence.

  • Cloud AI services across all major cloud environments
  • Autonomous agentic AI systems and orchestration frameworks
  • AI-powered browser extensions across every managed device
02
Control

Know the risk every AI system carries. Enforce policy. Manage vendor exposure. Stay ahead of the next regulatory obligation.

  • Proprietary five-factor risk scoring on every discovered tool
  • Policy templates aligned to APRA CPS 234, NAIC AI6 and the Privacy Act
  • Approval workflows and access controls that work with your existing IAM
  • AI Impact Assessments and vendor risk scoring built in
  • Live compliance gap analysis against your current register
03
Proof

Generate the evidence that boards, regulators, acquirers and insurers require — in one click, not one quarter.

  • Board AI Governance Report — quarterly, plain English, 15 minutes to review
  • Regulatory Examination Package for APRA and OAIC submissions
  • M&A AI Due Diligence Report — investment-grade, 24–48 hours
  • ISO 42001:2023 and NIST AI RMF certification readiness tracker
  • Immutable audit trail for every governance action taken
Compliance Frameworks

Built for Australian law. Not retrofitted from the US.

Global platforms are designed for US SOC 2 and EU AI Act compliance — then translated for Australian requirements as an afterthought. Guvn.AI maps natively to every Australian regulatory obligation from day one. No translation layer. No gaps.

Australian regulatory frameworks — primary coverage
APRA · Financial Sector

CPS 234 — Information Security

Requires APRA-regulated entities — banks, insurers and superannuation trustees — to maintain information security capabilities commensurate with AI-driven information assets. Enforcement guidance (2024) explicitly extends CPS 234 to AI systems.

DiscoveryRisk ScoringAudit Package
APRA · Operational Risk

CPS 230 — Operational Risk Management

Requires APRA-regulated entities to identify, assess and manage operational risks arising from third-party and technology dependencies — including AI services procured from external vendors and embedded in critical business processes.

Vendor RiskThird-Party RegisterIncident Log
NAIC · All Sectors

AI6 — Eight Voluntary Safeguards

The National AI Centre's AI6 framework covers accountability, transparency, safety, reliability, fairness, privacy, security and human oversight. Mandatory adoption is signalled for federal government suppliers and regulated industries. Guvn.AI maps every safeguard at the data layer.

Policy ManagerCompliance HubEvidence Generation
OAIC · Privacy

Privacy Act 1988 — AI-Assisted Decisions

Amendments create obligations when AI makes or significantly influences decisions affecting individuals — credit, employment, insurance, healthcare. Organisations must explain AI decisions, provide correction mechanisms and maintain records under the Australian Privacy Principles.

AI RegisterPIA DocumentationData Sensitivity
ASIC · Directors

Corporations Act 2001 — s.180 Director Duty

Directors must exercise reasonable care and diligence in managing material risks. AI has crossed the threshold of materiality for most Australian organisations. An AI-related incident creates a direct pathway to ASIC enforcement if a board cannot demonstrate governance processes were in place.

DISR · Mandatory

Mandatory AI Register — DISR Consultation

The Department of Industry, Science and Resources is consulting on a mandatory AI register for Australian organisations. The Guvn.AI AI Register is purpose-built to satisfy this obligation from day one — no retrofit required when the mandate arrives.

About

Australian-built. Australian-hosted. Australian law.

Guvn.AI is the only AI governance and risk platform built natively for the Australian regulatory environment. Every compliance framework, every risk taxonomy and every report template is designed for Australian law, Australian boards and Australian regulators — not translated from a US or EU product.

Our team brings deep expertise across enterprise cybersecurity, AI governance, platform engineering and Australian regulatory frameworks. We have worked inside the organisations Guvn.AI serves — conducting technology due diligence, running cybersecurity assessments, and sitting on the boards that carry the governance obligations our platform addresses.

The AI Tool Registry — the core IP underpinning every discovery scan and risk score — contains 200+ AI tools with Australian-weighted risk scores, detection signatures, vendor jurisdiction flags and regulatory mapping. It compounds with every deployment: each customer scan improves detection accuracy for every subsequent customer.

Sovereign Hosting

All Guvn.AI customer data is stored and processed exclusively within Australian sovereign infrastructure. Your data never leaves Australian jurisdiction without your explicit consent. No foreign government access. No cross-border data transfers. Full compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Government data sovereignty requirements.

Brisbane, Queensland

Guvn.AI is an Australian company, governed by Queensland law. Our team operates from Brisbane — inside the same regulatory environment, time zone and business community as the organisations we serve.

Data sovereignty — what it means in practice
Hosting

Australian Data Centres Only

All production infrastructure runs exclusively in Australian sovereign data centres. No customer data is processed, stored or transmitted outside Australian jurisdiction under any circumstances.

Access Control

No Foreign Government Access

Guvn.AI's architecture is designed to prevent compelled disclosure to foreign governments — including under US CLOUD Act, UK Investigatory Powers Act or equivalent legislation. Your governance data stays yours.

Compliance

Privacy Act & ISM Aligned

Data handling is fully compliant with the Privacy Act 1988 Australian Privacy Principles, the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM), and Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) requirements for government deployments.

Multi-Tenancy

Complete Tenant Isolation

Row-level security enforced at the database layer. Schema isolation for enterprise and government customers. No cross-tenant data access is architecturally possible — your register is visible only to your organisation.

Encryption

Encrypted in Transit and at Rest

All data encrypted at rest using AES-256. All data in transit over TLS 1.3. Browser extension communicates via authenticated WebSocket — only classification signals transmitted, never prompt content or document data.

Audit Trail

Immutable Governance Log

Every governance action — discovery scan, risk assessment, policy change, user access event — is written to an immutable audit log. Tamper-evident. Exportable for regulatory examination on demand.
