Engagement Examples

What Governance Looks Like in Practice

The following engagement summaries illustrate the scope, approach, and outcomes of Aeon's work with regulated enterprises. All client details have been anonymized.

Global Capital Markets Firm

Enterprise AI Governance Program

6 months (initial framework); ongoing retained advisory

100+ AI initiatives governed across 12 business lines with a single, board-approved framework.

The Challenge

A Tier 1 global capital markets firm had accumulated over 100 AI initiatives across trading, risk, compliance, and client services — with no centralized governance, no AI inventory, and no consistent risk classification methodology. The firm faced an upcoming regulatory examination and had no defensible answer to the question: "What AI are you using, and how are you governing it?"

Regional Financial Institution

Agentic AI Governance & Observability Program

4 months (framework and controls); 6-month implementation support

5,000+ employee-built AI agents brought under governance without disrupting operational productivity.

The Challenge

A regional financial institution had deployed an internal AI agent platform, enabling employees to build and deploy their own AI agents for operational tasks. Within 18 months, over 5,000 agents had been created — with no systematic governance, no observability infrastructure, and no controls to prevent agents from taking unauthorized actions or accessing sensitive data. A near-miss incident involving an agent accessing restricted customer data triggered an urgent governance review.

Multinational Insurance Group

EU AI Act & ISO 42001 Compliance Program

8 months to ISO 42001 certification readiness; EU AI Act compliance roadmap through August 2026

ISO 42001 certification achieved in 8 months while simultaneously meeting EU AI Act high-risk system requirements.

The Challenge

A multinational insurance group with operations across North America and Europe needed to prepare for EU AI Act compliance obligations while simultaneously pursuing ISO 42001 certification as a signal of AI governance maturity to regulators and institutional clients. The organization had no AI inventory, no formal AI governance policy, and AI risk management was fragmented across technology, legal, and compliance functions with no clear ownership.
