Veteran-owned business
Practical governance work for organizations with real risk on the table.
AI governance and CMMC advisory
Make technology
accountable.
AI use is spreading. CMMC pressure is rising. NEXAVEC helps leadership teams put owners, controls, policy, and evidence around the work before risk gets ahead of the business.
The governance problem
Activity is outpacing ownership.
AI tools are being adopted across the business. CMMC expectations are landing on teams that are already busy. In both cases, the real gap is not effort. It is unclear ownership, thin controls, and evidence nobody is responsible for.
NEXAVEC helps leadership see what is happening, decide what matters first, and put accountability around the work.
The same gap shows up twice
AI governance and CMMC readiness look different on the surface. Underneath, they both come down to ownership, controls, evidence, and leadership decisions.
Shadow AI usage
- Employees are using AI tools without disclosure
- Data controls are unclear or missing
- Leadership has no program-level visibility
- Risk is created before anyone owns it
AI activity without clear ownership
- Tools are running across departments
- Use cases are multiplying without review
- No one owns outcomes or escalation
- Policy decisions happen after the fact
CMMC pressure without a clear path
- Contractors know the requirements are coming
- Scope is still hard to translate into action
- Internal capacity is already stretched
- The next step is not always obvious
Compliance work without accountability
- Policies exist on paper
- Controls do not always have owners
- Testing is inconsistent
- Evidence collection is treated as a last-minute task
How we help
Start with the right level of help.
Some teams need a focused executive briefing. Some need a discovery sprint. Some need ongoing fractional governance support. The work should match the risk, urgency, and capacity you actually have.
Track 01
AI Governance
Executive AI Briefing
A 90-minute session that gives leadership a clear AI governance starting point.
- Calibrated to where the company actually is
- Leadership discussion, not generic AI 101
- Written summary with 3 to 5 recommendations
- Clear next steps for leadership
AI Program Discovery Sprint
A 3 to 4 week engagement to find current AI use and decide what governance must be built first.
- Stakeholder interviews across departments
- Assessment of current AI activity and risk
- Roadmap with prioritized recommendations
- Can stand alone or lead into ongoing advisory
Fractional Head of AI
Ongoing AI governance leadership for teams that need senior guidance without a full-time hire.
- 10 to 15 hours per month
- Governance and program design
- Vendor evaluation and stakeholder navigation
- Ongoing monthly advisory support
Track 02
CMMC and Cybersecurity Compliance
CMMC Readiness Snapshot
A focused assessment that shows where your CMMC posture stands before you spend on remediation or assessment prep.
- Gap analysis against applicable CMMC requirements
- Written findings and current-state observations
- Prioritized remediation path
- Designed to clarify the path before deeper work
Compliance Advisory
Ongoing advisory that keeps CMMC preparation moving while ownership stays inside the business.
- Policy support and control mapping
- Gap remediation planning
- Vendor and assessor preparation
- Engagement scope matched to client need
How it works
Turn activity into accountability.
The pattern is clear, even when execution is hard. See what is happening. Measure it against risk and requirements. Decide what matters first. Build the policies, controls, owners, and evidence that make the program real. Then operate it.
Discover current state
Map what is actually running: tools, use cases, controls, gaps, and informal practices.
Assess the gap
Measure current state against requirements, risk tolerance, and leadership expectations.
Prioritize
Rank remediation and program work by risk, business value, feasibility, and timeline pressure.
Build the structures
Create policies, controls, accountability roles, and governance mechanisms that match actual capacity.
Operate and measure
Set reporting cadence, ownership, escalation paths, and evidence that the program is working.
Improve over time
Governance is not a project. It is a program. Build for continuity, not just completion.
About NEXAVEC
Practical governance advisory, without the theater.
NEXAVEC Advisory Group is a veteran-owned advisory practice for organizations that need experienced governance support without adding a full-time executive role. The work is practical because it comes from real operating context.
Most organizations do not need another binder. They need clearer decisions, owners, controls, and evidence. NEXAVEC brings the operating context to help leadership make those decisions and keep the work moving.
NEXAVEC sits at the intersection of AI governance and cybersecurity compliance because that is where the real work is. Organizations dealing with one are often exposed on the other. The goal is to make your programs functional, defensible, and sustainable.
FAQ
Questions leaders ask before the first call.
Do we need AI governance if we are just experimenting?
Yes. Experimenting is when the rules matter most. NEXAVEC helps teams set simple guardrails before informal AI use becomes hidden risk.
What does a CMMC Readiness Snapshot actually tell us?
It gives leadership a clear view of current CMMC posture, visible gaps, documentation readiness, evidence quality, and the next remediation priorities. It is advisory, not a certification promise.
Do you build AI systems, or just advise on them?
NEXAVEC advises on AI governance, use-case evaluation, vendor selection, policy, risk controls, and operating model. We are not a build shop selling demos.
We already have a cybersecurity team. Why do we need outside advisory?
Because internal teams are already carrying operations. NEXAVEC gives leadership outside guidance that can translate requirements, review the plan, and keep the work moving without taking ownership away from the team.
What does a Fractional Head of AI actually do month to month?
Month to month, NEXAVEC creates senior AI governance capacity without a full-time hire. That includes use-case review, vendor review, policy, stakeholder guidance, leadership reporting, and decision support.
How do you handle engagements that involve both AI governance and CMMC?
We treat them as one governance problem. AI activity, compliance obligations, data flows, owners, controls, and evidence are mapped together so the company is not running two disconnected programs.
Can you help us create an AI acceptable use policy?
Yes. NEXAVEC helps create policies that people can actually follow. A useful policy defines approved tools, data rules, review steps, ownership, and consequences for risky use.
How do you avoid turning compliance work into bureaucracy?
We tie every document to risk, ownership, control operation, or evidence. If it does not help the business operate better or prepare better, it does not belong.
Find the governance gap.
Whether the pressure is AI, CMMC, or both, the first move is to understand what is happening, who owns it, and what must be fixed first.
