Watch a short walkthrough of how Nova helps teams structure AI governance, assurance evidence and controlled release decisions.

The governance gap

Organisations Are Deploying AI Faster Than They Can Govern It

Most organisations now use AI models, copilots, chatbots, agents and automation across critical workflows. The problem is that governance, testing, monitoring and evidence production are often handled manually, informally or too late in the release process.

What AI systems do we have?
What risk level applies?
Are we a provider, deployer, importer or distributor?
Are our systems compliant with the EU AI Act?
Can we evidence human oversight?
Can we prove the system was safe to release?
Are outputs monitored in production?
Can we produce an audit-ready evidence pack?

Nova was built to answer those questions.
