AI advisory for businesses that answer to regulators
Cijara Group helps small and mid-size businesses in highly regulated industries - community banks above all - adopt AI without losing control of risk. Every engagement is a fixed fee, set in writing after a scoping call.
AI Vendor Risk Assessment
Your teams deployed ChatGPT-like workspaces, chatbots, and third-party AI plugins. We catalog every tool, verify each vendor's data-training and retention terms, and show you where your data is actually going.
Convenience AI
from $4,500 per vendor
Tools that draft, summarize, or transcribe but never touch a business decision or regulated data.
Data-processing AI
from $7,500 per vendor
Tools that ingest, transform, or store customer PII, financials, or proprietary files.
Decision-making AI
from $11,500 per vendor
Tools whose output drives a consequential decision about a customer, employee, or borrower.
Portfolio bundle
from $22,500 for 5+ vendors
The full-stack audit: every AI vendor in the business assessed together, with the rationalization and cost-takeout plan across the whole portfolio.
Annual re-review
from $1,500 per month
Vendors change their terms constantly. Ongoing monitoring re-verifies data-training and retention terms quarterly and flags new shadow AI as it appears.
Every engagement is a fixed fee, set in writing after a scoping call - never hourly, never a surprise. Ranges reflect how the AI touches your business.
Advisory service lines
Scope varies with the institution, so these carry no list price. Each is a fixed fee set in writing after scoping. How advisory engagements are priced.
AI Implementation
Cijara Group helps small and mid-size businesses in highly regulated industries - community banks above all - put AI to work without losing control of risk. We start from your workflows and your regulatory obligations, not from a vendor demo, and we stay through rollout so the tools actually get used.
Learn moreAI & Software Supply-Chain Security
Your core banking system, digital banking platform, and loan origination tools come from vendors - and all of it rests on open-source software you never see. Cijara Group maps that hidden layer, shows you which known flaws actually reach your environment, and researches the components you depend on for the flaws nobody has found yet.
Learn moreAI Governance & Model Risk
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 two of America's largest financial institutions and Goldman Sachs, including MRIA remediation under direct regulatory scrutiny. We bring that operator-grade discipline to institutions that cannot staff it full-time.
Learn moreProof it works at scale
At a Fortune 50 financial institution, our principal cataloged 6,300+ applications, surfaced 2,000+ redundant tools, and drove roughly $80M in annual savings - the same discipline we bring to your AI vendor portfolio.
