Not-for-Profit · AI Advisory & Assurance

Independent governance, audit, and certification

World AI Governance (WAIG) Foundation is a global not-for-profit organisation. We serve as an independent AI advisor and advocate — not a product vendor — helping governments, academia, civil society, and industry build trustworthy AI through governance, audit, assessment, testing, and certification.

Service pillars

How WAIG serves organisations

Advisory and advocacy first — with assurance programs that support audit, assessment, testing, and certification.

AI Advisory

Independent guidance for boards, regulators, and leadership teams on responsible AI strategy, policy design, and governance operating models.

AI Advocacy

Public-interest advocacy for ethical, transparent, and human-centric AI — contributing to OWASP, EU AI Act, OECD, and global standards discourse.

AI Governance

Practical governance frameworks aligned to ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, DPDPA, GDPR, and sector regulations — with maturity assessment and board reporting.

AI Audit, Assessment & Testing

Structured audits, adversarial testing, bias and robustness assessments, and red-team validation through the AI Testing Lab.

AI Certification

WAIG assurance pathways and certification readiness support — evidence-based validation for accountable AI deployments.

ISO 42001 Audit & Certification

ISO/IEC 42001 gap analysis, control validation, audit preparation, and certification support through the Governance Validation Tool.

Assurance programs

Trusted platform

These programs operationalise WAIG's audit, governance validation, and continuous assurance work — as public-interest tools, not commercial products.
