Turn AI Governance Confusion Into Clear Priorities

Governance is not brakes; it is guardrails.

Priority Governance is built for organizations facing new AI questions — from customers, boards, funders, and regulators to their own teams. Answer 21 plain-English questions and get an instant Readiness Level, a seven-pillar snapshot, and the gaps to address first — without submitting sensitive operational data.

No sensitive operational data required. Not legal advice.

Why now

Most Teams Start Here Because Something Just Happened

You don’t need a governance theory — you need to answer a real question that landed on your desk. If any of these sound familiar, the QuickScan is built for exactly this moment.

A customer or vendor sent an AI or security questionnaire
The board or leadership asked "what’s our AI policy?"
Employees are using ChatGPT / Copilot / Claude with no policy
A vendor added AI features no one reviewed
Worry about sensitive data going into AI tools
The problem

AI Is Already in Use — The Governance Just Hasn’t Caught Up

Employees are using ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude. Vendors are adding AI features. And increasingly, customers, boards, funders, and regulators are asking what your policy is. For teams that sell into regulated, enterprise, or public-sector buyers, that pressure arrives as a security questionnaire. For school districts, nonprofits, faith organizations, libraries, and local government, it arrives from a board, a funder, a state mandate, or a duty to protect the people they serve.

The QuickScan helps you organize the questions, spot obvious gaps, and understand ownership and evidence — so you can prepare better conversations with leadership, legal, security, and compliance. It’s governance readiness, not compliance certification.

What It Is / Isn’t

A practical, non-legal, non-technical starting assessment. It helps you prepare — it is not legal advice, a security assessment, a formal compliance assessment, an audit opinion, or any kind of certification.

What you get — free

What the Free QuickScan Gives You

Instant Readiness Level

A plain-English level (label first, number second) so you know roughly where you stand — directional, not a certification.

Seven-Pillar Snapshot

See how you score across the AI Governance Operating System, so weak spots are obvious at a glance.

Your Top Gaps

The three areas most worth talking about first — the start of a focused action plan, not a 40-page report.

Policy Starter Outline

A Discussion Draft template-filled from your answers — a starting point to refine internally and with counsel, not a finalized or compliant policy.

Something You Can Share

Output you can take to your board, legal, security, or a prospect — and prepare better conversations with each.

The framework

The AI Governance Operating System

Seven practical pillars from the AI Governance Operating System — the framework developed by Priority Governance’s founder, Jason Lohse. Your QuickScan scores each pillar so you can see where to focus, and the same framework drives the live QuickStart Workshop.

InventoryData BoundariesRisk ClassificationHuman AccountabilitySecurity & Abuse ControlsMonitoring, Evidence & AuditabilityGoverned Acceleration

Inventory

Do you know which AI tools are in use, by whom, and for what — sanctioned or ad-hoc?

Data Boundaries

Are there clear, communicated rules about what data may and may not be used with AI tools?

Risk Classification

Are AI use cases sorted by risk so higher-stakes uses get more scrutiny?

Human Accountability

Is it clear who owns AI use, who reviews it, and who handles escalation?

Security & Abuse Controls

Are there practical controls and guidance to reduce misuse, leakage, and abuse of AI tools?

Monitoring, Evidence & Auditability

Can you show what you do — records, checklists, and evidence a buyer or leader might ask for?

Governed Acceleration

Can teams adopt AI quickly within clear guardrails, rather than being blocked or going rogue?

Data handling

Designed to Work Without Sensitive Data

The QuickScan is designed to minimize sensitive-data collection — built around your policies, processes, and high-level governance information, not your confidential data. No sensitive operational data is required to complete it.

Please don’t share customer data, employee records, PHI, financial records, credentials, source code, production logs, trade secrets, or sensitive legal documents. If a question tempts you to, summarize the policy or process instead.

What you submit is used only to prepare your QuickScan readiness snapshot and report. We don’t use your submissions to train public AI models, and access is limited to authorized Priority Governance review.

This is a practical starting point — not legal advice, not a security assessment, not a compliance certification.
