Aligne Technologies
Proportionate AI Governance for Small and Mid-Sized Businesses
The problem this solves
Unmanaged AI adoption spreading across a small business without oversight
Aligne Technologies helps SMEs turn AI governance from policy into practical controls, sized to the actual risk of how AI is being used across recruitment, customer service, finance and decision-making. The approach starts with visibility — knowing where AI is already in use — then classifies risk and puts basic controls in place before the organisation relies on AI output.
Novel practice
Start with an AI inventory, not a governance platform
“the first step in AI governance for an SME is not buying a governance platform. It is creating a simple inventory of AI use. Know what tools are being used, who is using them, what data they have access to, what decisions they influence, and who owns the risk.”
