Governance Stacks™
Named Governance Frameworks
Six proprietary, trademarked frameworks — each stress-tested across regulated mandates, audited by supervisors, and built to survive enforcement scrutiny.
Framework 01
The Evidence Chain Model™
Four-tier institutional proof architecture — from practitioner artefact to supervisory-grade evidence. Every claim is traceable, every control is auditable.
DORA Art. 6ISO 27001Audit-Ready
Framework 02
Decision Rights Architecture™
Maps who decides, who escalates, and who is accountable — from board to SOC floor. Eliminates governance ambiguity under regulatory pressure.
NIS2 Art. 20Board MandateRACI+
Framework 03
Board-Survivable Cyber Architecture™
Governance architecture that protects board members from personal liability — bridging technical controls to director-level accountability.
SEC/DOJD&O ShieldBoard-Level
Framework 04
AI Accountability Stack™
End-to-end AI governance covering model risk, bias controls, explainability mandates, and EU AI Act Article 9 compliance architecture.
EU AI ActISO 42001Model Risk

DORA Art. 11BCP/DRPStress-Tested
Framework 06
Contract Control Matrix™
Third-party risk governance matrix — embeds enforceable controls into outsourcing contracts, M&A due diligence, and vendor oversight.
