AI Governance & Technology Consulting in Lansing
Lansing is the seat of Michigan state government, the headquarters of some of the state's largest insurance carriers, and home to Michigan State University. Each faces distinct AI governance and compliance challenges — and the nearest national consulting offices are an hour and a half away.
Most national consulting firms serve Lansing from Detroit offices an hour and a half east, if they serve it at all. Our team has direct ties here, including a faculty appointment at Michigan State University College of Law. We work with the institutions, carriers, and agencies that define the Lansing market.

Frequently asked questions
What does AI governance mean for an insurance carrier?
The NAIC Model Bulletin on AI in Insurance requires governance frameworks, bias testing, documentation, and ongoing monitoring for algorithmic underwriting and claims decisions. We design and implement all of these, combining CPA and Certified AI Auditor credentials that are directly relevant to the insurance regulatory environment.
Do you work with state government agencies?
We serve as independent third-party auditors for AI systems, provide cybersecurity assessments, and assist with IT compliance. As Michigan considers legislation requiring independent AI audits for state systems, we are positioned to provide those assessments.
Are you eligible for Michigan supplier diversity programs?
We are eligible for MSHDA WBE (State of Michigan) and WBENC (national) woman-owned certifications. Michigan state agencies and many large Michigan employers actively seek certified diverse-owned vendors.
What CMMC level do Lansing-area defense contractors need?
Most contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) need CMMC Level 2, which aligns to NIST SP 800-171. We handle CMMC readiness alongside ISO 27001 and SOC 2 in a single engagement, since the frameworks overlap significantly.
Lansing needs AI governance before the mandate arrives
Whether it's NAIC requirements for insurance carriers, proposed state AI audit legislation, or basic cybersecurity compliance for government contractors — the requirements are coming. We help you get ahead of them.
