The Reality Check: 7 AI Governance Gaps Stalling Your ROI

Adoption is outpacing governance and mid‑market firms are already paying the price. This executive guide breaks down the hidden risks, the controls required to fix them, and the roadmap to a governed AI strategy.

What’s Inside the Guide

  • The 7 strategic gaps fueling Shadow AI

  • Executive controls that restore trust, traceability, and compliance

  • How to eliminate architecture fragmentation and tribal knowledge

  • The IAM, provenance, and data residency controls auditors expect

  • A framework for predictable AI TCO and model portability

  • Why most internal builds fail—and how to accelerate governance in weeks

Why It Matters

Without governance, AI becomes a liability: inconsistent decisions, unlogged access, data residency violations, and runaway inference costs. This guide gives you the clarity and structure to fix it before it becomes an audit finding.
