Description
The AI Governance Starter Toolkit Essentials is the entry-tier bundle in Madalent’s GRC toolkit — twelve ready-to-customise documents covering policy, risk, vendor oversight, and staff guidance, giving any organisation a practical AI governance foundation in a day, not a quarter.
Built to the standard a Big-4 advisor would deliver, every document is editable, brand-ready, and aligned to ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and OECD AI Principles.

Why not just use a free template?
Free AI policy templates from PwC, the National AI Centre, or generic blog downloads give you one document with no cross-referencing to a risk register, no version control, and often a public attribution requirement. The AI Governance Starter Toolkit Essentials is different: all 12 documents share consistent terminology and cross-reference each other — your Risk Register feeds your Steering Committee Charter, your Vendor Assessment feeds your Tool Inventory — and ship as fully yours, with no attribution, no watermarks, and no restrictions on internal use.
How it works
Download the ZIP file immediately after purchase, open each document in Word or Excel, and replace the placeholder branding with your own. Most organisations issue their first policy within a day. Every document includes inline guidance notes explaining what to customise and why, so no governance background is required to complete the set.
Who it’s for
Business owners and CEOs setting a practical AI baseline, compliance and risk officers accelerating drafting and review, IT/technology leaders clarifying tools and data rules, HR managers supporting staff guidance, consultants and advisors starting from a structured toolkit, and startups and scale-ups putting controls in place early.
Frequently asked questions
What file format is this toolkit in?
All 12 documents are delivered as editable Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx) files, with select documents also available in PowerPoint (.pptx).
Can I edit this template with my own branding?
Yes. Every document ships unbranded — add your logo, adjust formatting, and issue it under your own organisation’s name with no restrictions for internal use.
What’s the difference between the Essentials and Professional bundles?
Essentials covers the 12 foundational documents. Professional includes all 12 Essentials documents plus 15 additional documents — governance framework, audit, compliance mapping, and SOP-level detail — 27 documents in total.
Does this align with ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act?
Yes. Every document is cross-referenced against ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and OECD AI Principles, so gaps are visible before an audit finds them.
Instant digital download — Word (docx), Excel (xlsx) and PowerPoint (pptx) files, ready to issue the same day. Backed by Madalent’s 7-day money-back guarantee. Free updates as AI regulations evolve.
