AI Governance & Model Risk Management
Cijara Group builds the governance layer regulators expect around AI and models - risk frameworks, inventories, testing evidence, and board reporting. Our principal spent 15+ years inside model risk and operational risk functions at major financial institutions, including MRIA remediation under direct regulatory scrutiny. We bring that operator-grade discipline to institutions that cannot staff it full-time.
Outcomes you can expect
- An AI governance framework aligned to NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001, sized to your institution
- Model and AI-use inventories with ownership, classification, and review cadence
- Examiner-ready evidence: risk assessments, testing records, and remediation tracking
- Board and committee reporting that turns AI risk into decisions, not slide filler
Service lines
AI governance framework build
Policy, roles, and control design aligned to NIST AI RMF Govern/Map/Measure/Manage and ISO 42001 - calibrated so your institution carries only the controls that actually apply.
Model risk management
Model inventory, tiering, validation cadence, and issue management built on the discipline of federal model risk standards - right-sized for a community institution.
Regulatory remediation & exam readiness
Hands-on remediation of supervisory findings and exam preparation, from an operator who has closed MRIAs at two federally regulated institutions.
Risk & board reporting
Residual-risk reporting, risk-appetite alignment, and committee materials that connect technical findings to the language your board and examiners use.
