Investing in AI governance.
How we govern AI
Five commitments behind every engagement.
Transparent AI use
We believe clients deserve to know how AI is used in their engagements. We disclose which systems support our work, from Nicole® AI assisting with research and analysis to data processing tools, and we are explicit about the boundaries.
AI supports our auditors; it doesn’t replace them. Every deliverable is reviewed and validated by senior professionals, so you know what AI contributed and where human judgement remained in control.
Data security and client privacy
When AI is involved in your engagement, your data stays protected under our governance framework. Clear policies set what client information AI systems can process, how data is kept separate between projects and where AI training boundaries sit. Your confidential data never becomes training material for external AI models.
Our approach is designed to meet the GDPR, privacy regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate and the requirements of ISO 42001. Every AI system that touches client data is security-assessed and monitored.
Ethical AI principles
Our AI governance rests on five commitments:
- Transparency over black-box solutions
- Fairness and bias prevention in every AI application
- Accountability through clear human oversight
- Privacy protection as a non-negotiable standard
- Attention to AI’s environmental impact
These are operational requirements in our AI management system. We regularly assess Nicole® AI and our other tools against them, adjust when concerns arise and report honestly on limitations.
Human review of every AI output
No AI-generated content reaches clients without review by a human expert.
AI outputs are checked against source data, cross-referenced with regulatory requirements, assessed for context and signed off by senior auditors with lead auditor qualifications and domain expertise. Technology supports the work; people remain accountable for it.
Our own ISO 42001 certification
We hold ourselves to the standard we audit others against. Speeki is working towards ISO 42001 certification of its own AI management system, audited by an independent certification body.
The process includes risk assessment, policy development and a third-party audit, and gives us first-hand experience of what it takes to run an AI management system.
