Effective Solutions & Strategic Advisory for AI Risk, GRC Technology, Data Protection and Digital Sovereignty

Redefining GRC technology for the AI era

ART25

We build ART25 ECP at the intersection of AI, technology, governance, data protection, and digital risk.

The platform helps organisations identify, understand, and manage AI risk across systems, suppliers, and decision-making environments. It addresses emerging and novel AI risks beyond compliance, embedding them into GRC models that reflect real operational complexity.

ECP bridges strategy and execution, so that governance frameworks are both strategically sound and practical across the lines of defense. Alongside the platform, our advisory work turns ambiguity into structured, actionable guidance.

The result is governance that works in practice, not just on paper.

Who we are

AI is moving faster than governance. The question is whether your organisation is keeping up.

Who ECP Is ForBuilt for organisations, public institutions, and AI-driven startups and scale-ups, across the lines of defense

Across organisations, public institutions, and AI-driven startups and scale-ups, ECP addresses AI risk from a holistic GRC perspective. The platform brings together technology, risk, security, and compliance into a unified model that strengthens trust, accountability, and long-term resilience.

Designed with and for DPOs, CIOs, CROs, CISOs, CFOs, and CEOs across the lines of defense.

Our Perspective: The underestimated urgency of AI risk across domainsSupported by findings from the National Board of Trade of Sweden and ENISA

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping markets, decision-making, cybersecurity, and societal resilience.

Recent discussions within the Swedish AI ecosystem, including AI Sweden, together with findings from the National Board of Trade Sweden and ENISA, highlight growing concerns around collective AI-related risks, increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, interconnected supplier dependencies, and the accelerating gap between technological capability and organizational preparedness.

At the same time, rapidly evolving frontier AI systems are introducing new operational, governance, and security challenges across both the public and private sectors.

Our position is clear.

There is an urgent need to strengthen organizational resilience, governance maturity, and practical cross-domain risk oversight capabilities. This requires integrated approaches across AI governance, cybersecurity, privacy, supplier governance, operational risk, and compliance, embedded directly into real operational environments rather than treated as isolated functions.

Where We Stand: AI governance, policy and control is falling behind realityOur position on the limitations of current regulatory and GRC approaches

Regulatory frameworks and traditional GRC models remain too static to address the scale, speed, and interconnected nature of AI risk in practice. While frameworks such as the EU AI Act set important direction, they are still evolving, with gaps in enforcement and limitations in addressing real-world complexity.

At the same time, most organisations operate in silos. Risk is fragmented across data protection, cybersecurity, third-party risk, intellectual property, people and culture, and operational functions, with limited coordination across the lines of defense. This results in weak visibility, inconsistent controls, and a lack of structured supplier governance, where organisations often do not know what to assess, challenge, or require from their vendors.

The result is a governance gap. Not because frameworks do not exist, but because they are not designed to operate across domains, at scale, or in real time.

Why ART25Hands-on experience in AI governance, GRC strategy and technology, and Agentic AI development

ECP is built on deep experience from critical infrastructure environments, including work shaped by the Swedish Protective Security Act, and from designing and delivering GRC technology and SaaS solutions in complex, high-risk settings.

The platform is grounded in execution: governance models and supporting systems that are credible, scalable, and aligned with how organisations actually operate.

ECP combines AI governance expertise with strong capabilities in AI development, so that risks can be identified, assessed, and addressed at their source. This includes the use of advanced AI techniques to monitor, analyse, and respond to evolving threats, particularly in environments where autonomous and agentic systems are emerging.

The result is governance that is not only structured, but intelligent, adaptive, and built to hold in practice.

Our StrategyEmbedding governance and agentic AI-enabled GRC technology into real environments

We connect legal, policy, technical, AI, and GRC perspectives into a single, coherent approach to governance. This ensures that risk is not managed in isolation, but across systems, suppliers, and decision-making environments.

Our focus is on execution. We embed governance and agentic AI-enabled GRC technology into systems, processes, and organisational structures, enabling organisations to manage AI risk in real time across the lines of defense, from strategic oversight to operational control.

In parallel, we contribute to advancing the broader AI governance ecosystem, supporting initiatives that strengthen practices across Sweden, Europe, and beyond.

The name Art25

Refers to Article 25 of the General Data Protection Regulation: Privacy by Design and by Default.

The principle requires that privacy, security, and accountability are embedded from the outset, at the stage of ideation, system design, and throughout operational governance. This includes continuous monitoring, structured risk management, and meaningful human oversight across the lifecycle of AI systems.

As algorithms increasingly influence public opinion and beliefs, national safety and security, access to services, and automated decision-making, they shape power, opportunity, and rights at scale.

Without effective governance, sustained oversight, and clear accountability, this unprecedented technological reality risks undermining trust, weakening democratic values, and eroding fundamental rights.
