Workshop — ARISE Foundations

You Cannot Protect
What You Haven’t Defined.

The ARISE workshop is a structured engagement that explains and upskills your team on the six governance controls every organization must have.

ARISE Workshop
The Challenge

Most programs build on a foundation that was never laid.

Organizations invest in tools, frameworks, and compliance programs while skipping the foundational governance controls those investments depend on. Without defined risk appetite, data ownership, and AI inventory, every downstream control operates in a vacuum.

The ARISE Foundations Workshop closes that gap in a single working session — producing board-ratified artifacts, quantitative tolerance metrics, and a living AI registry before any other governance effort begins.

What breaks without this foundation

Risk decisions made in isolationNo board-ratified appetite statement means every risk acceptance is informal — and unenforceable at audit.
Data governance gaps compound AI riskWithout ownership, classification, and retention policy, AI training data enters pipelines without provenance or consent records.
Shadow AI bypasses every controlUnregistered AI systems access production data before governance teams know they exist.
Privacy programs lack a lawful basisWithout a documented RoPA and consent framework, GDPR and CCPA obligations remain aspirational rather than operational.
Audit evidence doesn’t existFrameworks without evidence packages cannot survive regulatory review — regardless of intent.
The Foundation

Six Controls. One Session. An Operational Foundation.

Every control follows the ARISE Implement → Operate → Validate methodology — producing enforceable policy.

G.RM-02 · Govern Domain

Risk Appetite & Tolerance

Board-ratified thresholds — eliminating human latency from the enforcement loop.

Foundational

G.GV.P-09 · Govern Domain

Data-Governance Policies

Establish ownership, classification, AI data intake, and retention enforced automatically. Every critical dataset assigned a named owner before any AI pipeline is approved.

Foundational

G.GV.S-02 · Govern Domain

Security Standards

Documented security baselines linked directly to risk register entries to ensure control selection is justified by specific, measurable exposure rather than convention.

Foundational

G.PR-01 · Govern Domain

Privacy Program

Learn about workflows, breach notification, and RoPA maintenance.

Foundational

G.RM-01 · Govern Domain

Risk Management Framework

ISO-aligned ERM with modeling for top-tier risks — support the ability to produce defensible risk understanding for leadership decisions.

Foundational

G.ST.S-01 · Govern Domain

AI Scope & Inventory

A living registry established to document AI systems, assign risk tiers, and ownership.

Operational

The Outcomes

What You Walk Away With

Understanding Risk Appetite Statement

Learn how to develop a Risk Appetite Statement with quantitative KRIs, tolerance thresholds per domain, and delegation of authority tiers

Awareness of the Operational Privacy & Data Governance Stack

Understand privacy, consent management platform configuration, DSAR workflows, and breach notifications

Knowing Foundational Requirements

Learn to ensure AI systems are registered before production access, risk tiers are assigned, shadow AI monitoring is active, and stage-gate enforcement is configured in the pipeline.

Understanding Evidence Expectations

Know how to build framework documents, register exports, committee minutes, KPI dashboards, and FAIR model outputs

Governance Starts With Definition. Start Here.

The ARISE Foundations Workshop will upskill your team on the six controls that every other investment depends on and teach them how to build an operational governance foundation.
