Assurance
AI Assurance
Hephaistos develops AI systems for regulated engineering workflows where defensibility, traceability, and human accountability are essential. Our approach is risk-managed and informed by the Australian Voluntary AI Safety Standard.
Governance and Accountability
We establish clear ownership for model use, workflow design, and decision boundaries. AI outputs are positioned as decision support, with final accountability retained by qualified professionals.
Risk Management
We assess use cases by consequence level and introduce AI only where it improves review quality without weakening control. Higher-impact findings are routed for human review before reliance.
Data and Security
Data handling is designed for regulated environments, with documented retention, access control, and evidence preservation. We use data only for the intended purpose and apply security controls appropriate to sensitivity.
Transparency and Human Review
Outputs are linked to supporting evidence and reasoning so reviewers can verify, contest, and override recommendations. The system is designed to surface uncertainty rather than hide it.
Testing and Records
We maintain test protocols, change control, and audit records to support traceability and repeatability. This enables clear oversight of model behaviour over time.
Discuss assurance and controlled deployment
If your team needs AI decision support that stands up to review, we can help define governance, auditability, and pilot controls before rollout.
