If You Can't Explain It, You Can't Scale It.
Modern reviewers, from VCs to auditors, are pausing processes when key information isn't clear. Ad hoc processes are no longer acceptable.
The Clarity Gaps:
The Operations Gap: You collect user data without a structured framework (like ISO 27701), leaving you unable to pass privacy audits or security questionnaires.
The "Black Box" Problem: You can't map your AI models to standards like NIST AI RMF, making it impossible to prove to risk teams that your models are safe.
The Transfer Gap: You want to operate globally, but you lack the standardized transfer impact assessments required to move data across borders.
The Result: Diligence cycles drag on for months because you cannot map your operations to the standards enterprise buyers require.
Build What the Market Looks For
Diligence conversations feel overwhelming when reviewers ask for artifacts you've never heard of, like model cards or impact assessments. We bridge that gap.
How We Help: Aetos builds comprehensive governance programs aligned with ISO 27701 (Privacy), ISO 42001 (AI), and NIST standards. We connect every control to documentation, ownership, and processes that bring immediate clarity to reviewers.
Data Privacy & AI Governance: The System
-

Privacy Information Management
Implementing the international standard for collecting, storing, and sharing data. This creates the "PIMS" (Privacy Information Management System) auditors look for.
-

AI Risk Management
Operating within that foundation and mapping your models to the NIST framework to demonstrate safety, validity, and accountability.
-

Evidence Assurance
The documentation that proves your system aligns with these standards, supporting clearer conversations with risk teams.
Governance Components for Review-Ready Innovation
-
Notice & Consent Architecture
Operational workflows for managing user notices and consent preferences aligned with privacy frameworks.
-
Data Inventory & Mapping
A real-time map of data types, flows, systems, and sensitivity levels required for ISO 27701 certification.
-
Request Fulfillment Operations
Standardized workflows to handle data subject requests (Access/Deletion) within SLA timeframes.
-
Model & Vendor Intake
A standardized process for documenting and assessing new AI models against NIST safety guidelines.
-
Human Oversight Logs
Defined reviews and escalation paths that prove a human is in the loop for high-stakes decisions.
-
Transparency Artifacts
Model cards and system cards that explain your AI to non-technical stakeholders.
The Documentation Auditors Hunt For:
We populate your data room with the specific artifacts that satisfy rigorous framework assessments.
-
Privacy Program Charter
The governing document for your PIMS.
-
Data Classification Matrix
How you label sensitive info against standards.
-
Data Flow Diagrams
The visual map of your data lifecycle.
-
Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA)
Operational checks for high-risk processing.
-
AI Risk Management Framework
Your alignment to NIST/ISO 42001.

Model Cards
Standardized disclosures for your algorithms.
A Governance Cadence That Supports Readiness
-

Pre-Deployment Checks
Review data flows and risk assessments before you ship a new feature or enter a new region.
-

Ongoing Program Review
Monitor vendor changes, new data streams, and AI model behavior to catch drift early.
-

Quarterly Controls Refresh
Update documentation and confirm alignment with evolving standards.
