AI Governance Consulting
Your team is already using AI, and most leadership teams cannot say which tools, what data they touch, or who approved them. DersCo LLC builds the governance infrastructure that closes that gap: clear policies, vendor oversight, and an accountability structure that gives leadership a real picture of what the company is doing with AI and why.
The typical small and mid-sized business is using AI tools across multiple departments without a clear picture of what those tools are doing with company data, what the vendor agreements actually say, or who owns the decision if something goes wrong. That is not a compliance problem first. It is a management problem. You cannot move fast with a tool you do not understand, and you cannot make good decisions about AI without governance infrastructure that tells you what you are actually operating.
DersCo LLC builds that infrastructure: the policies, the vendor oversight processes, the accountability structures, and the clarity that lets leadership say with confidence what the company is doing with AI and why. The risk management follows from that, but the starting point is being in control of your own AI program.
A structured review of how your company is using AI today: what tools are in use, how vendors are managed, how data flows through your AI systems, and where the gaps are between what you think is happening and what actually is. Delivered as a written report with prioritized findings your leadership team can act on immediately. Fixed fee, conducted personally by an attorney.
We build the policy infrastructure that lets your team use AI deliberately and consistently: acceptable use policies written for how your people actually work, vendor review processes that catch problems before adoption rather than after, data classification standards, and an accountability structure that makes clear who owns AI decisions and how they get made.
Most AI vendor agreements are signed without anyone reading the provisions that actually matter: what happens to your data, whether the vendor can use your inputs to train their models, what confidentiality protections exist for your proprietary prompts, and how liability is allocated if something goes wrong. We review those agreements so you know what you are agreeing to before you agree to it. Legal review through Anders Almgren, Attorney at Law for clients who need it.
We translate AI governance into the language boards and executive leadership need to make informed decisions: what the company is doing with AI, what the significant decisions are, what oversight exists, and what the organization would need to do differently to operate its AI program with confidence. Companies that can answer those questions clearly have a competitive advantage over those that cannot.
DersCo LLC works with US small and mid-sized businesses across all industries, typically under 1,000 employees, where leadership is close enough to the AI decisions to see clearly what the company is and is not doing with them.
You set the direction that brought AI tools into the company, and you own the outcome. The companies that are going to win with AI are the ones where leadership understands what the organization is actually doing with it, and right now most founders and CEOs do not have that picture.
You are being asked to sign off on AI vendor agreements and internal policies that were often built without your input and without a clear picture of what your specific company has actually agreed to. Getting ahead of that is easier than unwinding it after the fact.
AI does not fit cleanly into existing enterprise risk frameworks, and most CROs know it. The board is starting to ask how AI risk is being managed, and the companies that can give a direct answer will have a meaningful advantage over those that cannot.
Your team is already using AI tools, and in most cases they adopted them faster than any governance process could have kept up with. The question now is how to build governance that works for people who have actual jobs to do, not a 40-page policy document that nobody reads.
Most AI governance advice comes from one of two places: technology consultants who understand the tools but have never had to write a policy that real employees would follow, or law firms that understand contract risk in the abstract but have never been inside a company where operational pressure shapes every decision. DersCo LLC is neither.
Anders Almgren spent years as in-house counsel across industries, where the question was never whether to accept some abstract level of risk but whether the organization understood what it was actually doing and why. That experience is what DersCo's governance work is built on: frameworks designed for how organizations actually operate, not for how they would operate in a textbook.
DersCo LLC provides AI governance consulting: assessments, policy frameworks, vendor oversight processes, and the governance infrastructure that lets leadership manage AI the same way they manage any other significant operational program. Where clients need legal review of vendor agreements or other legal services, that work is handled separately by Anders Almgren, Attorney at Law.

Every engagement ends with governance infrastructure your team can actually use: policies written for how your people work, processes that fit your operations, and a clear picture of what you are doing with AI and why.
