Questions we hear before every engagement

GovernIQ is an AI-native compliance platform — not a consulting firm. Where a consulting firm bills hourly and produces bespoke deliverables that live in a shared drive, GovernIQ runs your 12-question assessment, scores your compliance posture automatically, and generates a personalized Compliance Action Plan hosted at a permanent URL your team can revisit. The platform produces the same caliber of gap analysis and policy guidance that outside counsel charges five figures for, at a fixed $299 price point — no engagement letter, no billable hours. See full tier details at /pricing.

In-house counsel handles legal advice, contract review, and regulator interactions — work GovernIQ does not replace. What GovernIQ replaces is the operational compliance infrastructure that most mid-market companies cannot justify a full-time hire to build: the gap assessment, the policy templates, the monitoring cadence, and the documented posture you hand to outside counsel or an auditor. A Foundation engagement delivers that infrastructure in days, not months, at a fraction of the cost of a junior in-house hire — see pricing at /pricing and reusable policy artifacts at /templates. For companies that want ongoing coverage without a full-time headcount, the Continuous Monitoring retainer is the natural complement.

Partial compliance is the most common starting point — and the most dangerous, because it creates a false sense of coverage. The GovernIQ assessment evaluates your posture across twelve dimensions regardless of prior work, identifies the specific gaps that remain open, and scores them by risk level. If you have existing policies, they inform the gap analysis; they do not mask it. The Compliance Action Plan maps remediation to your actual AI stack, so prior work you can keep is kept and work that is missing or out of date is flagged explicitly. The Continuous Monitoring retainer keeps that posture current as regulations evolve.

The free 12-question assessment takes five minutes; the personalized Compliance Action Plan is delivered by email immediately after a $299 checkout. For deeper engagements, the Foundation tier (single-framework audit) typically runs two to three weeks; the Standard tier (multi-framework with monitoring setup) runs four to six weeks; and the Concierge tier is an ongoing monthly relationship with no fixed end date. Full timeline and scope details for each tier are at /pricing.

Your Compliance Action Plan lives at a permanent /plans/:slug URL — it does not expire and you can share it with counsel, auditors, or board members at any time. For ongoing coverage, the Continuous Monitoring retainer watches for framework drift, model inventory changes, new disclosure obligations, and vendor deltas on a monthly cadence. The reusable policy and audit artifacts at /templates, and the regulatory deep-dives at /eu-ai-act-guide, /sb-26-189-guide, and /nist-ai-rmf-guide, are free resources that complement your CAP as the regulatory landscape evolves.
