The right support, configured around your needs.

Managed Services provides continuing data governance and SC-cleared Enterprise Asset Management capability on a retainer, for Defence, Government, and regulated programmes that cannot pause while they recruit. It covers AI model monitoring, monthly data quality reporting, governance maintenance, and cleared specialists embedded in your team. You get oversight that persists after a project ends, and resource that scales with the programme.

Hiring permanent EAM capability is slow, expensive, and often impossible at the clearance levels Defence and Government demand. We solve that, providing SC-cleared capability and ongoing AI governance, led personally by our founder, drawn from a retained core of specialists and extended by contracted associates, embedded into your teams and scaling with your programme.


Data Governance as a Service

DGaaS: ongoing governance, not a one-off report.

AI governance is not a project. It is an ongoing operational capability. Most organisations complete a data governance engagement, produce a policy document, and then watch standards erode within six months as priorities shift and teams turn over.

DGaaS addresses this directly. We provide continuous data governance oversight, model monitoring, data quality tracking, stewardship support, and regular governance reporting, on a flexible retainer that scales with your operational needs.

Continuous AI Model Monitoring

Regular review of deployed AI models for drift, bias, and data quality degradation. Reported at governance cadence with escalation protocols for material issues.

Data Quality Dashboards & Reporting

Monthly data quality KPI reports across your asset register and AI-adjacent data domains. Trends tracked, anomalies flagged, stewardship actions logged.

Governance Framework Maintenance

Policies, standards, and procedures kept current as your technology landscape, regulatory environment, and AI deployment evolves.


Cleared Staffing

SC-cleared EAM capability when you need it.

For Defence, Central Government, and Critical Infrastructure programmes, permanent hiring at the clearance level required is slow, expensive, and often blocked by internal headcount constraints. Our managed staffing model places cleared EAM specialists directly into your programme, on the terms that suit your delivery model.

Embedded Delivery

Cleared Brainwave Asset Intelligence consultants operating as part of your programme team, managed by us, accountable to you. Full programme integration without the permanent headcount.

EAM Programme Management

Senior cleared programme managers who understand EAM, IWMS, CMMS, and the regulatory context of your sector. Available for fixed-term or rolling engagements.

Flexible Scale

Resource scales up for delivery phases and down for steady state, without the recruitment overhead. Structured around your programme milestones, not our commercial calendar.



Common Questions

What buyers ask about Managed Services

What is DGaaS?

DGaaS stands for Data Governance as a Service. It provides continuous data governance oversight, model monitoring, data quality tracking, stewardship support, and regular governance reporting, on a flexible retainer that scales with operational needs. The premise is that AI governance is an ongoing operational capability rather than a project, because standards typically erode within six months of a one-off engagement as priorities shift and teams turn over.

How is Managed Services different from a one-off data governance project?

A one-off project produces a policy document, whereas Managed Services keeps the governance running. Most organisations complete a data governance engagement, publish the policy, and then watch standards erode within six months as priorities shift and teams turn over. DGaaS addresses that directly, with continuous oversight, monitoring, and reporting on a retainer rather than a fixed deliverable handed over at the end.

What reporting do we get under a DGaaS retainer?

Data quality KPI reports are produced monthly across your asset register and AI-adjacent data domains, with trends tracked, anomalies flagged, and stewardship actions logged. Deployed AI models are reviewed for drift, bias, and data quality degradation, reported at your governance cadence with escalation protocols for material issues. Policies and standards are kept current as your technology and regulatory environment changes.

Can you provide SC-cleared staff for a Defence or Government programme?

Yes. The managed staffing model places SC-cleared Enterprise Asset Management specialists directly into your programme, accountable to you. Capability comes from a retained core of specialists, led personally by the founder and extended by contracted associates when a programme needs to scale. Every person placed on a Defence or Government programme holds SC clearance, and there is no offshore delivery. Because clearance is already active, there is no vetting queue to wait out. The work covers back-office, built-estate, infrastructure, and facilities functions.

Can the level of support scale up and down?

Yes. Resource scales up for delivery phases and down for steady state without the recruitment overhead, structured around your programme milestones rather than our commercial calendar. The DGaaS retainer is likewise flexible and scales with operational needs. Cleared programme managers are available on fixed-term or rolling engagements, so the commitment can follow the shape of the programme.

What platforms and standards do your cleared programme managers know?

Senior cleared programme managers understand EAM, IWMS, and CMMS systems and the regulatory context of the sector they are working in. Platform coverage across Brainwave Asset Intelligence includes IBM Maximo, TRIRIGA, Archibus, Planon, and SAP PM, and engagements are aligned to ISO 55000. Where AI deployment is in scope, the SAFE-AI governance architecture is active throughout.

What does a DGaaS retainer cost, and is there a minimum term?

Both the retainer and the term are agreed per client in discussion, rather than published as a rate card or a fixed minimum. What moves them is the scope of governance oversight required and the seniority and number of cleared specialists a programme needs. Resource scales up for delivery phases and down for steady state, so the retainer is structured around programme milestones rather than a fixed commercial calendar.
