Governance & Compliance
Bringing Structure,
Accountability, and
Oversight to Technology Risk
Organizations face a growing set of responsibilities around technology, cybersecurity, information, and AI. Those responsibilities may come from regulation, clients, contracts, insurers, internal policies, or the nature of the information the organization handles.
Intrinsic helps organizations turn those requirements into a practical governance program—establishing appropriate policies and controls, assigning responsibility, maintaining documentation and evidence, and providing ongoing oversight as requirements and technology change.
Governance in Practice
From Requirements
to Evidence
Effective governance requires more than written policies. Organizations need to understand what applies to them, determine how requirements will be addressed, implement appropriate controls, and demonstrate that those controls are being maintained.
Intrinsic supports that process across four connected areas:
Requirements
Understand applicable regulatory, contractual, client, insurance, and internal requirements.
Controls
Define the policies, technical safeguards, operating procedures, and responsibilities required to address them.
Evidence
Maintain the documentation, records, assessments, and other evidence needed to demonstrate how controls are being managed.
Oversight
Review changes, identify gaps, track remediation, and provide leadership with visibility into material issues.
Our Governance Practices
Governance Across
Technology, Security, and AI
Intrinsic helps organizations establish and maintain governance practices across their broader technology environment. Our approach is designed to be practical, aligned with the organization's operations, and responsive to changing requirements.
IT Governance
Establish greater structure around how technology is managed, including policies and standards, access and change management, vendor oversight, business continuity, technology lifecycle, documentation, and accountability.
Security Governance & Compliance
Establish and maintain the security policies, risk-management practices, controls, documentation, and evidence required to support regulatory, contractual, client, and insurance requirements.
AI Governance & Compliance
Define how AI may be introduced and used across the organization, including approved applications, acceptable use, information access, use-case risk, third-party AI, accountability, and ongoing oversight.
Industry & Regulatory Requirements
Requirements Depend
on the Business
Governance should reflect the organization—not simply a standard checklist. Industry, information handled, contractual commitments, clients, insurers, and applicable regulation can materially change the controls an organization needs.
Intrinsic brings this context into the governance process.
