Manage how your organisation uses AI.

A clear system for seeing what is in use, deciding what needs attention and keeping evidence of how it is governed.

AIGMS™ (Artificial Intelligence Governance Management System) is not an AI tool. It is a practical governance management system for organisations that use AI for drafting, decision support, analysis, automation and interaction.

See the method, the five-step route it follows and the records you can start building.
See AI use clearly. Govern it proportionately. Keep the evidence.
The practical starting point

AI use may already be ahead of your records.

Someone may be using a chatbot to draft customer replies. A supplier may have added an AI feature to software you already use. A manager may be relying on an automated ranking or recommendation.

That does not mean your organisation has done something wrong. It means you may need a clearer way to describe what is happening.

  • Where is AI being used?
  • Who is the Accountable Person for each AI Activity?
  • What data goes into it and what could it affect?
  • What evidence shows how it is governed?
What AIGMS™ helps you do

From informal AI use to clear ownership and evidence.

AIGMS™ gives managers a practical way to make AI Activities visible, understand their consequences and apply governance that matches what is at stake.

01 · SEE IT

Make AI use visible

Record each AI Activity in the Activity Register, including its purpose, provider, Data Inputs, Accountable Person and status.

02 · JUDGE IT

Understand what could be affected

Use Consequence Profiling to consider People Harm, Financial Exposure, Legal and Regulatory Liability, Reputational Damage and Operational Disruption.

03 · PROTECT IT

Apply the right Safeguards

Select proportionate Safeguards from the Safeguard Catalogue, so a simple drafting Activity does not receive the same workload as a consequential decision Activity.

04 · SHOW IT

Keep evidence as you work

Build the Governance Evidence Pack as the system operates. Use Assurance Review to check what has changed and what needs attention.

How it works

A simple operating loop and a nine-step Implementation Pathway behind it.

Managers already work this way: identify the activity, name ownership, assess what matters, put protections in place and review what changes. The five points below are that loop. The full Implementation Pathway turns the same work into nine recorded steps.

1. IdentifyFind AI Activities, including Shadow AI.
2. AssignName an Accountable Person for each Activity.
3. ProfileUse Consequence Profiling to understand what could be affected.
4. SafeguardSelect protections in proportion to the Consequence Rating.
5. ReviewKeep evidence current through Assurance Review.

How the loop maps to the nine-step pathway

  • Identify and Assign cover Pathway steps 1 to 3 (leadership, policy, Activity Register).
  • Profile and Safeguard cover Pathway steps 4 to 6 (Consequence Profiling, Safeguard selection, training).
  • Review covers Pathway steps 7 to 9 (Governance Evidence Pack, Assurance Review, maturity self-assessment).

What you can demonstrate

Useful records, not governance theatre.

AIGMS™ is designed to leave an evidence trail as the organisation works. The detail sits behind the simple route shown above.

Activity RegisterSee what is in use and who owns it.
Consequence ProfileExplain why an Activity receives its Consequence Rating.
Safeguard selectionRecord what has been applied and why.
Governance Evidence PackKeep the records that support how governance operates.
Competence recordsShow that people have the knowledge their role requires.
Assurance ReviewReview the system and keep improvement work visible.

What AIGMS™ does not do

AIGMS™ supports governance work. It does not provide legal advice, determine legal compliance, award certification or give an organisation authority to assess another organisation.

AIGMS™ is an independently created governance management system for organisations that use AI.

Buying an AIGMS™ pack does not grant AIGMS™ Verified status. Verification is a separate programme. As at 11 September 2026 it is in controlled pilot development: a free initial application can be made but later stages, status decisions, Status IDs and mark use remain closed. Read the verification programme boundaries.

Questions

Before you begin.

Is AIGMS™ an AI system?

No. AIGMS™ is a governance management system for organisations that use AI. It helps you identify AI Activities, assign responsibility, apply proportionate Safeguards and keep evidence.

Do we need a technical AI specialist?

No. AIGMS™ is written for competent managers. The Governance Lead brings in specialist input when a particular AI Activity needs it.

Does AIGMS™ replace data protection or health and safety arrangements?

No. Integration is one of the Governing Principles. AIGMS™ helps connect AI governance with the systems your organisation already uses.

How much governance does each AI Activity need?

The effort depends on the Consequence Rating. Negligible Activities need Core Safeguards while higher-rated Activities need additional Safeguards and more frequent review.

Make AI use visible before you need to explain it.
