Secure AI. Clear control.
AI is transforming how alternative investment firms operate – but governance and security are lagging behind.
Drawbridge AI Risk Intelligence brings structure to this gap. We help firms understand how AI is being used, manage associated risks and implement clear controls – enabling secure adoption without slowing innovation.
Why AI governance matters
“AI risk is not new risk. It is existing risk, accelerated.”
AI is changing how cyber risk is introduced and managed. The same tools driving productivity are enabling more sophisticated attacks, while everyday usage can expose sensitive data or introduce unvalidated outputs. For investment firms, this creates a clear governance gap. AI risk is already embedded and must now be managed as part of the broader cyber risk framework.
Introducing AI Risk Intelligence
The growing challenge for firms, investors and regulators is proving that AI technologies are being deployed securely, monitored consistently and governed appropriately at all times. Firms therefore need a dynamic, continuously updated view of how AI tools are being used, where exposures exist, and whether controls remain effective as platforms evolve. AI Risk Intelligence is Drawbridge’s structured framework for managing the security and governance challenges introduced by artificial intelligence.
Whether firms are beginning their AI governance journey or advancing toward enterprise-level AI assurance, Drawbridge combines policy, training, platform-specific analysis and independent assessment to help firms demonstrate operational maturity, regulatory readiness and investor confidence.

How AI Risk Intelligence works
Deployment Consultation
AI adoption often begins informally, with tools quickly embedded into day-to-day workflows. Drawbridge helps firms understand where and how AI is being used, identify key risks and define a clear, practical approach to integrating AI within existing cybersecurity and governance frameworks.
AI Security Assessment
The AI Security Assessment evaluates the controls surrounding AI usage across the organization. This includes identity management, data protection, vendor configurations and governance processes. The outcome is a structured assessment with clear, prioritized recommendations to strengthen AI-related security.
AI Policy Development
Effective AI governance requires clear rules and accountability. Drawbridge develops tailored AI policies that define approved tools, acceptable use and data protection standards – providing a consistent, regulator-ready framework for AI usage across the firm.
AI Security Training
Technology controls alone cannot address AI risk. Employees must understand how to use these tools safely. Drawbridge’s training covers AI-enabled threats such as phishing, data leakage, deepfake impersonation and prompt injection – equipping teams to use AI confidently and responsibly.
