Deep experience across the sectors where governance, compliance, and operational continuity are non-negotiable. NED's AI governance and cybersecurity frameworks are built around the specific regulatory obligations and risk profiles of each industry.
Healthcare AI adoption is accelerating — clinical decision support, administrative automation, revenue cycle optimization. Each use case carries HIPAA implications, patient safety obligations, and FDA regulatory considerations that most AI governance programs aren't designed to address.
NED builds healthcare-specific AI governance frameworks that cover clinical workflow AI, data handling, model transparency, and compliance documentation — without slowing clinical innovation.
Financial institutions are deploying AI for fraud detection, credit decisioning, trading, and customer service — all in an environment of heightened regulatory scrutiny from the SEC, OCC, FDIC, and CFPB. Model risk governance and explainability aren't optional; they're regulatory requirements.
NED builds financial services AI governance that covers model risk management, explainability documentation, SOX compliance, and the intersection of AI and financial crime compliance.
Government environments demand the highest level of security rigor — FedRAMP authorization, FISMA compliance, CMMC certification, and increasingly, AI governance frameworks that meet Executive Order requirements on safe and trustworthy AI.
NED has operated in government security environments at the highest pressure levels — including securing contracts and maintaining zero incidents during active nation-state threat conditions across multiple election cycles.
PE environments operate under a distinct set of pressures: compressed timelines, carve-out complexity, TSA dependencies, and the need to demonstrate governance posture to sponsors, lenders, and regulators simultaneously. In PE, AI governance is not just a risk issue — it's a valuation issue.
NED builds security and AI governance frameworks that match deal timelines, not the other way around. From pre-close diligence through exit readiness, we maintain posture through transformation.
