AI Usage Inventory
Complete catalog of AI tools and workflows across every team.
Three phases. Governance that improves monthly.
Cloister deploys audit-survivable AI governance in 4 weeks — then keeps it current as regulations shift. Here is how the process works.
Phase 1
Assessment
2-4 weeks
Map AI tools, workflows, and data flows to surface compliance risk before audits.
Phase 2
Containment
Ongoing
Move AI usage into a logged, bounded environment with approval gates and policy controls.
Phase 3
Stewardship
Monthly
Deliver monthly governance updates so your architecture stays current as rules evolve.
Phase 1
Assessment
2-4 weeks
We map every AI tool, workflow, and data flow across your organization. You get a complete picture of where AI is used, what data it touches, and where the compliance gaps are — before the auditor finds them.
Data Flow Mapping
Diagram of what data moves through which AI tools, and where CUI exposure exists.
Gap Analysis
Risk assessment mapped to CMMC Level 2 controls, with specific findings and remediation priorities.
Governance Architecture Plan
Blueprint for the containment environment — policies, tooling, and approval workflows your team will operate.
Phase 2
Containment
Ongoing
AI workflows move into a logged, bounded environment. Every interaction is tracked, every tool is approved, and every data flow has a chain of custody. Your team operates the system — Cloister builds it.
Approved Tool Registry
Curated list of sanctioned AI tools with configuration standards and usage boundaries.
Approval Gates
Workflow for requesting, reviewing, and approving new AI tools or use cases.
Logging and Audit Trails
Automated capture of AI interactions, data inputs, outputs, and operator identity.
Policy Documentation
Governance policies mapped to CMMC controls — ready for the auditor to review.
Team Training
Practical training for your team on operating within the governance architecture.
Phase 3
Stewardship
Regulations shift. New AI tools emerge. Your governance architecture stays current. Cloister monitors the regulatory landscape and delivers monthly updates — so your team never falls behind.
Monthly Governance Reviews
Assessment of new regulatory guidance and its impact on your architecture.
Policy Updates
Revised documentation and controls as CMMC requirements evolve.
New Tool Evaluation
Assessment of emerging AI tools against your governance framework before adoption.
Audit Preparation Support
Evidence packaging and readiness checks ahead of your C3PAO assessment.
The deadline is real. The governance gap is fixable.
