The #1 AI Governance & Compliance Company In Australia

Primarily organisations with teams already using AI tools - or planning to. Once you have multiple people across different roles using AI, you have exposure: data breaches, IP leakage, regulatory violations, and shadow AI risks. This service is particularly valuable for regulated industries like legal, finance, and healthcare, as well as any organisation handling sensitive client or commercial data.

Shadow AI refers to employees using AI tools - ChatGPT, Copilot, and others - without organisational oversight or approved protocols. Research shows 93% of employees share confidential data with unauthorised AI tools, and breaches involving shadow AI cost an average of $670,000 more than those involving monitored systems. The risk isn't theoretical - it's already happening in most workplaces.

No. Governance done well enables innovation rather than blocking it. The goal is to give your teams confidence to use AI effectively, with clear guidelines on what's safe, how to configure tools correctly, which use cases carry risk, and which don't. Banning AI isn't a strategy - governed adoption is.

The core focus is AI-specific governance - usage policies, data handling, IP protection, shadow AI, and regulatory compliance. Where broader data privacy or technology governance matters are in scope and connected to your AI environment, we can cover those too. We'll define the scope clearly during the initial engagement.

The governance frameworks, policies, and regulatory advisory are led by Marche Bantum - an Australian lawyer who actively builds and deploys AI systems. This matters because the policies we write are grounded in how the technology actually works, not just what the regulations say. You get legally sound frameworks that reflect operational reality.

We monitor and advise across Australian and global jurisdictions - including Australia's Privacy Act reforms (introducing automated decision-making requirements in late 2026), the EU AI Act, intellectual property and copyright law, workplace safety obligations, and liability frameworks for automated decisions. As laws evolve, we keep your frameworks current.

It's a newsletter delivered by Marche that keeps you informed as AI regulations, case law, and compliance requirements evolve. It's not tied to a specific engagement window - you can subscribe and stay informed on an ongoing basis regardless of whether you're an active client.

You receive a custom set of deliverables including: a Risk Assessment Report identifying vulnerabilities across IP, privacy, copyright, and automated decision-making; custom AI Policies and Procedures tailored to your operations; AI Risk Management Guidelines covering shadow AI detection and secure tool configuration; a full-day Compliance Training Workshop for all organisational levels; and ongoing advisory access for questions as new tools are introduced or regulations change.

In-person training workshops are available in Perth. For organisations across the rest of Australia and internationally, training is delivered remotely via live virtual sessions with the same interactive, industry-specific approach.

Yes, and it's often most effective when it is. When Zenias builds AI systems for clients through our Development service, we draft the governance frameworks simultaneously - so protection is built in from inception rather than retrofitted later. Governance can equally be deployed as a standalone service for organisations with existing AI tools already in use.

Pricing is customised to the scope of your engagement. We work with organisations of all sizes and structure engagements accordingly - from focused policy development for smaller teams through to comprehensive governance architectures for enterprise clients.

Our governance service is primarily designed for organisations with teams. If you're a sole trader with specific compliance questions, our Consulting service or a targeted advisory session may be a better fit - reach out and we'll point you in the right direction.
