Risk levels determine how strict the compliance AI system must be, how many controls are installed, and how aggressively the system escalates issues to human review.
Use this framework to identify which tier applies to your organization — and what a deployment at that level looks like in practice.
4 questions · takes under 2 minutes
Answer four questions about your organization's industry, data environment, regulatory oversight, and compliance stakes. We'll route you to the risk tier that best matches your profile.

| Risk Level | Industry Example | Security Tier | Deployment Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 — Low Risk | Marketing agency | Security Tier 1 | 4 – 6 weeks |
| Level 2 — Medium Risk | Construction | Security Tier 2 | 6 – 10 weeks |
| Level 3 — High Risk | Finance / Medical | Security Tier 3 | 10 – 16 weeks |
| Level 4 — Extreme Risk | Hospitals / Banks | Security Tier 4 | 16 – 24 weeks |

Most high-value engagements occur at Level 3 (High Risk) because these organizations face real regulatory pressure, cannot risk compliance failures, and benefit most from AI compliance infrastructure.
The deployment timeline at this level is long enough to build something defensible — and short enough to deliver meaningful protection before the next audit cycle.
The quiz above gives you a directional read. Our Governance & Deployment Assessment goes deeper — identifying your risk tier, control gaps, and oversight vulnerabilities with the specificity needed to design a defensible system.
