AI Governance & Development
We help organizations deploy AI that is secure, compliant, and built to last.
Signal & Soil is a Canadian AI consultancy specializing in governance frameworks, cybersecurity compliance, and production-grade AI systems for government and enterprise.
The Problem
Most AI deployments are ungoverned, insecure, and unaccountable.
Organizations are racing to deploy AI without the governance frameworks, security posture, or compliance readiness to do it responsibly. The cost of getting it wrong is rising fast.
