From baseline to evidence
The free Ballast benchmark scores your AI governance against one jurisdiction-agnostic control set and shows your percentile against other ANZ organisations — a number worth putting in a board pack.
The regulatory clock tracks every dated AI obligation across NSW, Australia, APAC, the EU and the US, filtered by which of your controls it affects.
When you're ready, generate the documented risk register and control mapping that survives internal audit, a regulator, or a customer security questionnaire.
