C1 SmartStart for AI Control Tower (AICT)

Enterprise AI Governance, Lifecycle Control, and Compliance — Ready on Day One.

C1 SmartStart for AI Control Tower delivers a turnkey implementation of ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower module, giving organizations a governed, transparent, and scalable foundation for enterprise-wide AI adoption. Every AI asset—models, agents, datasets, prompts, workflows—is cataloged, governed, risk-assessed, and monitored through a unified, auditable lifecycle.

Key Benefits

  • Centralized AI asset inventory for enterprise governance
  • Standardized lifecycle workflows from onboarding → deployment → monitoring → retirement
  • Policy templates for privacy, data governance, bias, fairness, and compliance
  • Risk scoring and compliance checkpoints tied to IRM and regulatory frameworks
  • Mapping of AI assets to services, CMDB/CSDM, and business processes
  • Automated approval flows and role-based governance
  • Performance and value dashboards for ROI, risk, and adoption
  • Continuous monitoring of AI activity and audit-ready traceability

Why This SmartStart Matters

AI adoption is accelerating—but most organizations lack visibility, governance, and compliance controls. Shadow AI, unmanaged models, and untracked agent workflows introduce security, operational, and regulatory risk.

SmartStart eliminates these gaps.

C1Secure deploys the AI Control Tower with a complete governance structure: onboarding workflows, model registries, compliance and risk templates, lifecycle checkpoints, continuous monitoring, and enterprise reporting. AI assets are mapped to business services, CMDB entities, governance policies, and control frameworks—allowing responsible AI to scale without chaos.

Whether using internal AI models, third-party SaaS tools, LLM agents, or embedded AI features, SmartStart creates a governed ecosystem that maximizes business value while minimizing risk and ensuring defensible compliance.
