The Hackathon Experience
One Assessment. Multiple Perspectives. Real Findings.
Most governance programs are evaluated by a single function — usually security. This hackathon is designed to expose what that approach misses. When two people in the same organization score the same controls differently, that divergence is not a disagreement. It is a governance gap waiting to be addressed.
Complete the ARISE Maturity Assessment
Answer 38 questions across 7 governance domains. Takes about 6 minutes. Your score is context-adjusted — industry, data types, and AI deployment context all shift how your maturity is classified.
Compare Across Functions
Bring in one or more colleagues from different parts of the organization — operations, legal, HR, or a business unit leader. Have them complete the same assessment independently. The gaps between your scores are the finding.
Submit Findings & Earn Training Certificate
Document your perception gap analysis and 90-day action plan. Submit for review and receive your training certificate in Evaluating Organizational Governance and Risk Maturity from Assessed Intelligence.
