What We Do

Trusted AI services built for the organisations that need them most.

We bring Big-4-level rigour to AI governance, assurance, and accountability — at pricing accessible to the firms, institutions, and agencies actually deploying AI today.

AI Decision Assurance

Independent verification that your AI systems are operating accurately, fairly, and in compliance — with audit-ready evidence at every step.

AI Governance Setup

Design and implement governance structures aligned with NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 — policies, controls, oversight roles, and reporting cadence.

Independent AI Audit

Third-party verification of AI systems against your stated controls — giving boards, auditors, and regulators the documented assurance they require.

FERPA & Data Compliance

Specialised AI compliance reviews for universities and tribal colleges — covering FERPA, accreditation, and data sovereignty requirements.

Bias & Fairness Testing

Rigorous fairness analysis across protected classes for AI in admissions, eligibility, hiring, lending, and benefits decisions.

Advisory & Training

Workshops and ongoing advisory for boards, audit committees, and leadership on AI risk, opportunity, and responsible adoption.

Our Proprietary Methodology

The Harshwal AI Trust Framework

A structured, four-step methodology for organisations that need to adopt AI responsibly — balancing innovation with trust, compliance, and long-term sustainability.

Unlike generic AI governance tools, the Harshwal AI Trust Framework™ is sector-specific, human-centred, and designed for organisations that cannot afford Big-4 advisory rates but require the same standard of AI accountability.

NIST AI RMF SOC 2 ISO 42001 FERPA

Harshwal AI Trust Framework™ is a trademark of Harshwal Advisory LLC. Trademark application pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Four steps. One audit-ready record.
1
Data Check
Validate AI training and operational data for quality, completeness, and compliance — including FERPA, GLBA, and bias testing across demographic groups.
2
Model Check
Audit AI model logic, architecture, and behaviour for accuracy, explainability, and fairness — with SHAP/LIME scoring and protected-class fairness metrics.
3
Decision Monitoring
Establish continuous, real-time oversight of AI decisions in live deployment — with logging, anomaly alerts, override protocols, and drift detection.
4
Outcome Validation
Measure whether AI decisions produce fair, accurate, and intended real-world outcomes — through impact assessments and stakeholder feedback loops.

Frequently Asked

Common questions about AI assurance.

Same rigour, dramatically more accessible pricing, and built specifically for sectors the Big-4 typically underserve — tribal entities, smaller universities, regional CPA firms, and mission-driven non-profits. Engagements start at $2,500.
