About Peruze

Independent AI governance, led by people who have built and sold technology businesses.

Peruze is a UK independent AI governance service. We help leadership teams decide how far their AI goes, and keep it accountable, measurable and worth what it costs as it takes on more of the work. Our framework gives the board one simple rule, that nothing moves up a stage without a decision, and we set it up in the systems you already run and keep it working, month by month.

We started Peruze because we saw AI repeating problems we had spent our careers fixing in cyber security and IT asset management.

How we work

Independent of AI vendors and buildersWe are independent of the people who build and sell your AI, and no vendor sets our recommendations. Where a governance technology earns its place, we can supply it: we name it and an alternative in writing before you agree to anything, and tell you how we are paid for it.

Specialists when you need themBehind the founders are governance and security specialists we bring in as each engagement needs, so you aren’t relying on one person.

Out of your wayWe answer your data protection and security questions in writing before anything starts. The AI review, one of three ways to start, looks at the AI on the devices and systems you agree in advance. It doesn’t collect prompts, chats or documents, and we don’t change anything in your systems.

Built on recognised standardsYour evidence is organised the way ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework expect, and mapped to the EU AI Act where it applies to you. Your legal and compliance advisers decide what each regulation means for you, and we work with the firm you already use: we make sure you can show you have met it.
