AI Assurance

Independent AI Assurance for Trust, Safety and Transparency

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way governments and organisations deliver services, make decisions, and interact with citizens. With this transformation comes significant risk. Elevated risk is the baseline for AI in government and enterprise—automation, decision-making, sensitive data use, and a lack of explainability mean AI systems must be subject to the same rigorous independent assurance as other major programs and projects.

PM Solutions is Australia’s leading provider of accredited independent assurance. Building on our global leadership and best practice accreditations in Gateway Assurance® and Agile Assurance®, we now deliver specialised AI Assurance reviews that help agencies and organisations navigate the complexity of AI, ensuring ethical, transparent and trustworthy outcomes.

Why AI requires assurance.

Unlike traditional ICT and digital projects, AI systems are:

  • Dynamic – models retrain, environments shift, and risks change overnight.
  • Opaque – decision-making processes may be difficult to interpret or explain.
  • High-Impact – outcomes directly affect citizens, customers and businesses.
  • Regulated – national and state governments are introducing mandatory AI assurance frameworks.
Without independent oversight, AI risks quickly erode trust. PM Solutions provides assurance that AI systems remain safe, transparent and aligned with ethics, governance and public policy.

What we do.

We provide a full suite of independent AI Assurance reviews across the lifecycle:

  • AI strategy and readiness reviews – assurance at the earliest stage, ensuring ethical principles, governance frameworks, and risk management approaches are built into AI programs from inception.
  • Health checks – independent validation of AI models, training data, and system design prior to deployment.
  • Post-implementation reviews (lessons-to-emulate) – comprehensive evaluations of whether AI objectives, benefits, and safeguards are being achieved in practice.
  • Continuous assurance and monitoring – periodic health checks and independent assessments to ensure AI systems remain aligned with fairness, transparency, and explainability requirements.
  • Specialist AI assurance reviews – targeted reviews of bias, model drift, explainability, and compliance with regulatory and ethical obligations.
