Humans first, agents in the background.
You work with people: the person who interviews your team, weighs the evidence and signs off on the report. AI agents work in the background to make that work faster and more thorough. They never stand in for judgement.
- 01
One accountable person.
Joshua Garza is accountable for everything Touchstone Data delivers. You work with the person who does the work and signs off on it.
- 02
Evidence behind every finding.
Every finding cites the document, configuration, interview or query it rests on. A finding without evidence does not go in the report.
- 03
Agents in the background. Decisions are made together.
AI agents draft and check behind the scenes, the way we recommend clients use them: with clear rules and limited data. People review everything they produce, and the decisions that follow are made together with your team. Nothing reaches a client because a tool produced it.
- 04
Your data is handled with care.
Client material is kept separate for each client and used only for the engagement. We never ask for passwords or keys, keep personal data from your systems to what the work needs, and use AI tools only under terms that do not train on client data.
- 05
Disclosed in writing.
Every statement of work says how AI is used on the engagement and how your data is handled. If you need more detail for your own vendor review or AI questionnaire, we provide it.
- 06
Opinion, not legal advice.
Deliverables are a professional opinion. Regulatory questions are mapped and prepared for your counsel; Touchstone Data does not make legal determinations or warrant compliance.
Questions about how we work are welcome on a discovery call or through the contact page.
Want the same discipline for your AI?
The AI governance engagements apply these methods to your systems: an inventory, clear rules for data, and evidence behind every finding. The first call is free, 30 minutes, and needs no preparation.
