A clear picture of AI in your agency, and a path forward you can defend.
Autessa helps public sector leaders see where AI is already in use, where the gaps are, and what to do next. A governance platform built for the frameworks and accountability requirements you face.
What we are hearing from leaders
The questions are getting harder, faster.
Councils and commissions are asking what the agency is doing about AI. State guidance is tightening. Federal grants are starting to require AI disclosures. Staff are using AI tools, and vendors are shipping AI features into systems that were procured years ago.
Most agencies have a one-page memo and a careful answer. That worked a year ago. Today, leaders are looking for something more durable — and they would rather build it on their own terms than wait for an audit, an incident, or a council resolution to force the conversation.
We built Autessa to help you do that work.
AI Use Inventory
A living record of every AI use across your agency — from staff tools to vendor features — with risk classification, ownership, and review cadence.
Policy & Control Framework
Map your existing policies and controls against NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001. See what's covered, what's missing, and where to focus next.
Vendor AI Monitoring
Track AI features and terms changes across the systems you already use. Get alerted when a vendor ships AI into your tenant — before renewal, not after.
Incident Response & Audit Logs
Structured incident workflow with severity classification, notifications, remediation tracking, and post-incident reporting — audit-logged end to end.
How it works
Three tiers. Start where you are, grow as you need.
Most agencies do not need everything on day one. Start with foundational visibility, add inventory and policy when the team is ready, and bring in continuous monitoring when accountability requirements tighten.
"Where are we, and what do we need to do?"
Start with essential visibility into your AI governance posture. Framework-mapped dashboard showing your current state across NIST AI RMF functions, with gap identification and recommended next steps to build your program.
Includes: Governance Dashboard · Framework Gap Analysis · Vendor AI Exposure View
"We have governance in place."
Track your AI inventory and policy framework. Build the system of record you need to demonstrate governance to your council, respond to audits, and meet state guidance.
Includes: Everything in Assess, plus AI Use Inventory & Risk Register · Policy & Control Framework
"We can prove it to the board, auditor, and public."
Continuous vendor monitoring and structured incident response. The evidence and audit trails you need when board oversight, audit requirements, or grant compliance demand proof.
Includes: Everything in Govern, plus Continuous Vendor Monitoring · AI Incident Response & Audit Logs
Frameworks & Requirements
Built around the standards and guidance you are accountable to.
Every output the platform produces — your inventory, your policy framework, your vendor risk view, your incident reports — is structured so it can be traced back to specific framework controls and state guidance.
NIST AI Risk Management Framework
NIST AI 100-1 (AI RMF 1.0), Govern · Map · Measure · Manage
The federal voluntary standard most public agencies are aligning to. Autessa maps inventory, policy, vendor, and incident outputs to specific functions across the AI RMF Core.
ISO/IEC 42001
AI Management System standard (2023)
The international standard for AI management systems. Increasingly cited in procurement and audit. Autessa structures policy and control evidence to align with its requirements.
WaTech EA-01-03-G
Adopted as statewide IT policy, December 11, 2025
Washington's Interim Guidelines for Purposeful and Responsible Use of Generative AI in State Government. Autessa's diagnostic and inventory reflect the policy's expectations on disclosure, acceptable use, and oversight.
WA AI Task Force (ESSB 5838)
Interim Report December 2025 · Final Report due July 2026
The state's task force is shaping policy direction for cities, counties, and agencies. Autessa tracks recommendations as they evolve and incorporates them into the platform.
Federal Grant AI Disclosure
Emerging requirements across HUD, DOJ, DOT, HHS programs
Federal funding increasingly requires AI use disclosures and risk attestations. Autessa generates inventory and policy evidence in formats that map to common grant assurance requirements.
WA Public Records Act
RCW 42.56
Records related to AI use, decisions, and incidents are public records. Autessa's audit trail and incident documentation are structured to support disclosure obligations and litigation hold.
Framework references reflect current public guidance as of platform release. Autessa maintains mappings as standards and state policy evolve.
Why Autessa
Governance is the architecture, not a feature added later.
Most AI tools were built for speed first and oversight second. Autessa was built the other way around. Every action is observable. Every decision is traceable. Every output carries an audit log and a reference to the framework control or state guidance it supports.
We are based in Washington and built for the realities of public sector — procurement, public records, oversight, and the council meeting next month. The way the platform works is the way you will need to explain it to your auditor, your council, and your residents.
Observable by default
Every AI action and policy decision is logged, mapped to a framework control, and ready for disclosure.
Built for public sector reality
Procurement cycles, public records obligations, and council oversight are first-class concerns — not afterthoughts.
Defensible to your auditor
When questions come from your council, auditor, or grant officer, you can trace the answer back to the source.
