AI & Automation

Put AI to work, and keep it defensible.

Govern it, run it, and equip your people. Kybern produces the register, the controls and the evidence, then operates your agents and automations every month after go-live.

Why now

Regulators and boards are asking for evidence, not intent.

From 10 December 2026, Australian privacy policies must describe decisions made or informed by computer programs that significantly affect individuals’ rights or interests. Overseas contractors who receive personal information also create cross-border obligations under APP 8. Boards need a register, rules and records that show the controls work.

Frameworks we work to
  • Privacy Act 1988, including automated decision-making transparency and APP 8
  • NIST AI Risk Management Framework: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage
  • ISO/IEC 42001 AI management system, so clients can later pursue certification
  • Singapore Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI

Kybern prepares clients for certification. A certification body audits them.

Three services

Govern. Run. Augment.

Each service stands on its own. Together they take a client from an unknown AI estate to a governed, operating and evidenced one.

Govern

AI advisory and governance

A defensible position on AI use, delivered as fixed-scope projects with an optional quarterly cycle.

  • AI inventory and risk baseline, including unofficial tools
  • Governance framework, policy suite and decision rights
  • Automated decision-making readiness and disclosure wording
  • Board and executive briefing
  • ISO 42001 readiness on request
Run

Managed AI operations

A monthly service that runs, improves and evidences your agents and automations, so you do not need your own AI operations team.

  • Monitoring, incident response and change control
  • Evaluation runs, quality and cost reporting
  • Access, data flow and offshore-access checks
  • Monthly report and quarterly board-ready evidence
Augment

Skills and accelerators

Specialists placed into your team, and reusable tools added to the platforms you already own.

  • Fractional AI governance lead and AI product owner
  • Agent engineers and evaluation engineers
  • Change and adoption lead, AI literacy sessions
  • Registers, evaluation kits, runbooks and dashboards
How we govern

Six steps from discovery to board report.

01

Discover

Interview owners, review procurement and cloud spend, find unofficial tools.

02

Classify

Score each use case for risk class and autonomy level.

03

Bound

Set data scope, tool permissions and approval points up front.

04

Decide

Take decisions to the accountable executive and record why.

05

Evidence

Keep records that show the controls operate.

06

Review

Quarterly review of register, incidents, vendors and regulation.

The Kybern autonomy scale

How much may the AI do on its own?

A shared vocabulary for every proposal, contract and report. It lets a board set the limit, then lets the evidence show the limit is respected.

L0

Assist

Drafts or answers. A person decides and acts.

L1

Recommend

Proposes an action. A person approves each one.

L2

Act with approval gates

Acts on low-risk steps. High-risk steps need approval.

L3

Act with sampling

Acts alone. People review a sample and every exception.

L4

Exception reporting

Acts alone. People review exceptions only.

R1

Low risk

Internal use, no personal information, reversible, no decisions about people. Register entry, owner and annual review.

R2

Moderate risk

Uses personal information or faces customers, with a person able to review. Adds an evaluation set and quarterly review.

R3

High risk

Significantly affects individuals, uses sensitive information, or takes irreversible actions. Adds approval gates, disclosure link and board visibility.

Accelerators

Reusable tools that make the service faster and more consistent.

Built on platforms you already own. They contain no client data, and we only build one after we have needed it more than once.

Governance leadership and hands-on AI engineering.

Kybern pairs executive governance and delivery leadership with specialist AI and integration engineers. Specialists are engaged per project. Work on Australian client systems uses de-identified or restricted data, access logging and client approval for any offshore access.

  • Agents built to be testedFixed evaluation sets score every change before it goes live.
  • Integration and automationWorkflow automation across Microsoft 365, Power Platform and line-of-business systems.
  • Independent operationsWe run what we build, and what other providers have built for you.
  • Evidence, not only policyRegisters, controls and records you can show a customer or regulator.

Start with an AI inventory and risk baseline.

In three to four weeks you know what AI is in use, how risky it is, and what to do in the next 90 days.
