Why House Strategies Group

The supplier that hands you a running system, not a binder

A large prime can write a credible framework. So can we — and we already built it as software, tuned it to the OIG's independence, and priced it without the overhead. Here's the case.

01

We build the framework — and the tools that run it

This portal is the proof. Where others deliver a binder, we deliver a working AI inventory, risk registry, intake system, and drift dashboards your team operates on day one.

02

Operationally grounded, not boilerplate

Written for a buyer already running 90+ pipelines and standing up agentic AI — the framework governs the autonomous workflows RISC is building now, not a generic policy.

03

Independent by design

Tuned to IG independence and mirrored on GAO-21-519SP, so the OIG leads the IG community on a standard CIGIE has not yet published.

04

Right-sized, nimble, AI-accelerated

A small, senior team that delivers with an AI dividend — meeting the bar of a large prime at a fraction of the overhead, under a 12-month firm-fixed price.

Owned, not rented

A framework you own and can change, not a subscription you rent

Much of the field sells AI governance as a commercial platform subscription. We hand the OIG the framework and the working tools outright. Whatever does not fit your mission, we edit to your liking, under controlled change management.

Rent it

A subscription platform

  • You configure the options the vendor built. A requirement they did not anticipate waits in a product backlog you do not control.
  • Your AI inventory and risk data sit inside a commercial SaaS tool, outside your own environment.
  • Governance stops the day the subscription lapses, and the vendor sets the roadmap and the renewal price.
  • An outside vendor's terms of service sit between the Inspector General and its own oversight tooling.
Own it

The framework HSG hands you

  • You own the code and the framework. Anything in the design that does not fit, we edit to your workflows, your data-classification scheme, and your Databricks and Azure stack.
  • It runs in your environment. Law-enforcement-sensitive data never leaves OIG control.
  • No license to renew. The OIG keeps editing it in-house, or with any contractor, long after we leave.
  • Changes move through a versioned, audit-logged process, the same controlled change management the framework applies to your AI systems.

Flexibility here is governed. Every change runs through versioned, audit-logged change management, the same discipline the framework applies to your AI systems, and it all sits inside one 12-month firm-fixed price.
