Governance workspace · built for Australian privacy practice

Your AI governance program deserves more than a ChatGPT draft.

Govern / Abilitix is where regulated teams build PIAs, review with grounded assistance, and export committee-ready packs—assistive outputs; your organisation signs off. Built for teams that need defensible governance outcomes without a full in-house privacy office.

OAIC-shaped Export-ready Practitioner review 14 questions · ~5 min

Limited 60-day reference pilot · selected regulated teams only.

AU PIA drafting

Narrative-first PIA generation, operator-input appendix, visual or Markdown editor.

Review chat

Consultative review with regulatory retrieval when corpus matches—apply into the draft.

Findings & actions

Structured risk and action rows in the workspace and export packs.

Export pack

Governance reviews

Start with PIA now, then expand to vendor AI diligence

Govern focuses on approvable artefacts and a human sign-off gate. PIA workflow is live in pilot. Vendor AI diligence memo is captured as roadmap and open for validation.

Available in pilot

AU PIA review and export workflow

Generate, review, apply, and export committee-ready PIA packs with tenant-scoped audit trail and practitioner sign-off.

Coming soon

Vendor AI diligence memo

Structured due diligence memo for commercial AI vendors (assistive output; your organisation signs off). Join the pilot queue to shape this SKU.

Why Govern

Built for governance artefacts—not generic drafts

AU PIA workflow and export discipline—not a US “DPIA template mill.” Cross-border AI transit is disclosed in our subprocessor register.

Invents less

Anti-fabrication guardrails and visible unknowns—review chat does not pretend certainty when corpus retrieval is empty.

Cites when it can

Regulatory excerpts surface when retrieval matches. Export packs keep the approved PIA body and machine-assisted assessment in separate sections, with cross-references.

Tenant-scoped workspace

One organisation’s PIAs, posture, and audit trail—not a shared chat thread. Sign-off stays with your team.

The gap

Most teams have AI pilots. Fewer have defensible governance artefacts.

Risk without traceability

Chat threads and slide decks do not answer who decided what, on what basis.

PIAs that drift from reality

Templates diverge from the system you actually run—especially after vendor or model changes.

Scattered regulatory context

OAIC guidance, sector standards, and internal policy live in different places.

Who it’s for

Privacy, risk, and compliance leads in regulated organisations

  • Privacy / DPO: structured PIA workflow and OAIC-step visibility
  • Risk / compliance: export packs for committees and auditors
  • Technology: AI systems registry, posture, and evidence alongside the draft

Limited seats

60-day reference pilot

  • You get: full workspace, onboarding, weekly check-in, priority roadmap input
  • You bring: a named sponsor and one agreed outcome (e.g. PIA through review → export)

Roadmap input is prioritised — final product decisions stay with Abilitix. Optional reference participation by mutual agreement.

How a PIA runs in Govern

Method-first workflow for practitioners: scope, gather, analyse, report, and manage findings. Workshops and legal sign-off remain human-led outside the product.

Inside the workspace

Workspace snapshot

What privacy and risk leads see after sign-in: posture, PIA progress, inbox, and regulatory corpus health — in one pilot dashboard.

Illustrative Fictional tenant — not live customer data. Not legal advice.

  • Governance dashboard — score, inbox, and OAIC-step orientation
  • PIA workflow — draft, practitioner review, approve, export
  • Corpus health — AU regulatory coverage behind review and chat

PIA workflow

PIAs with practitioner control

AU privacy impact assessment framing—not a generic “DPIA” label. Narrative-first generation, consultative review, apply-to-draft when you choose.

OAIC 10-step PIA process (orientation)

Summarised for readiness tracking only. Authoritative guide: OAIC — Privacy impact assessments.

Does not replace legal advice or your sign-off process.

Free assessment — benchmark maturity first

Exports

Committee-ready export packs

Structured packs for review and sign-off: the approved PIA body and machine-assisted assessment print as separate sections (when stored), with cross-references—PDF, Word, and HTML.

Trust & data

Honest about what we are—and are not

  • Assistive only. Not legal advice. Your organisation approves and signs PIAs.
  • Tenant isolation. Each organisation’s workspace is separate. Your PIAs and audit trail are not visible to other customers. See our Security register.
  • No training on your content. We do not use customer governance documents, questionnaires, or chat content to train Abilitix models. AI completions use Anthropic commercial APIs in the current pilot.
  • Subprocessors. Customer workspace data at rest is hosted as described in our subprocessor register. Completions use Anthropic in the current pilot; retrieval embeddings use a separately configured provider (see register). Cross-border processing applies to both.
  • No false certification claims. We do not claim SOC 2 Type II. We do not claim all processing stays in Australia.
  • Standalone product. Govern does not require Listen or Ask. No live Listen integration on this roadmap slice.

FAQ

Questions privacy and risk leads ask

Practical answers for evaluation — not a substitute for your own legal advice.

What problem does Govern solve?

Teams adopting AI still need defensible PIAs, practitioner review, and committee-ready packs — not another generic draft. Govern is a workspace for AU privacy impact assessments: posture and evidence, structured drafting, consultative review with regulatory corpus context when matches exist, persisted assessment, and export. Your organisation approves; we do not certify compliance.

How is Govern different from ChatGPT or a Word template?

Generic chat has no registry scope, no apply-to-draft review loop, no OAIC-oriented dashboard, and no master-grade export parity. Govern ties work to AI systems in your registry, keeps assistive assessment separate from the PIA body, and documents subprocessors. It is built for privacy-office workflow — not open-ended prompting.

How does the reference pilot work?

Selected regulated teams join a 60-day reference pilot: full workspace (dashboard, PIA drafting, review chat, posture, Governance Chat, exports), dedicated support, and priority roadmap input. You commit a named sponsor and one success outcome. Apply here — already provisioned? Sign in.

Can counsel or the board rely on exports without our own review?

No. Exports are assistive artefacts for your sign-off process — not legal advice, not an OAIC determination, and not a substitute for practitioner judgement. Treat every output as a draft until your privacy office or legal team approves.

How is my organisation’s data kept separate from other customers?

Each customer gets a dedicated organisation workspace. The API enforces organisation boundaries on every request; database row-level security prevents cross-tenant reads. Your PIA drafts, registry, and audit events stay in your tenant — not in a shared pool with other users. The shared regulatory corpus is reference material only, not your PIA content. Details in our Security register.

Does Govern train on our documents, and where is data processed?

We do not use customer governance documents, questionnaires, or chat content to train Abilitix models. AI completions use Anthropic commercial APIs (Claude) in the current pilot; retrieval embeddings use a separate provider configured on the workspace API (currently OpenAI — see register). We do not fine-tune on your workspace content. Full subprocessor and model-routing detail is in our Security register — including cross-border processing. Review retention and DPA fit before piloting.

What is vendor AI diligence (coming soon)?

A planned SKU for commercial AI vendor review: a structured diligence memo with cited findings and human sign-off — useful when procurement and privacy need a shared record. It is not live in the workspace yet and is not vendor certification.

Free maturity assessment is a separate public snapshot — no workspace account required. Privacy details for that funnel are in Security.
