IRON LION

Attention: law firms, medical practices, financial advisors, real estate brokerages, and any business with a team

Can you afford the legal fees that come when AI goes wrong in your business?

Let's be honest. You are using AI, and so are your employees. Every business already has openings that leave it exposed to hackers and compliance fines. Put AI on top of that, and the exposure multiplies.

The other elephant in the room

You have three choices.

Step one is finding out where your openings are. If you do not know what they are, you do not know what to plug. There are three ways to find out.

1

Do nothing.

Keep your fingers crossed until the call comes: the regulator, the client's lawyer, the breach letter you have to sign. In 2023 a tutoring company paid $365,000 to settle an EEOC case over AI hiring software. The company did not write the software. It used it.

2

Pay a consultant to find them.

Weeks of interviews and a five-figure invoice to learn where you stand. Worth it for some firms. Not the place to start.

3

Take the free AI Defense Assessment.

Two minutes. Sixteen questions. No registration. When you finish, you know exactly which holes to plug, and we send you the three fixes to make first.

What the Defend Score is

The Defend Score is the answer, not the quiz. One number out of 100: how much of your AI use you could prove was responsible if a regulator, a client, or a court asked. The sixteen questions are how we get to it.

Most businesses score lower than they expect. That surprise is the point. It shows you where you stand before someone else decides it for you.


This is already happening

Three businesses found out the expensive way.

$365,000

The hiring software screened out older applicants.

iTutorGroup settled with the EEOC in 2023 after its application software automatically rejected candidates over a certain age. The company's AI, the company's liability.

EEOC v. iTutorGroup, 2023

Liable

The chatbot invented a refund policy.

Air Canada argued its website chatbot was responsible for its own words. A Canadian tribunal disagreed in 2024 and ordered the airline to honor what the bot promised.

Moffatt v. Air Canada, 2024

Sanctioned

The brief cited cases that did not exist.

Two attorneys filed a federal brief with citations an AI tool made up. The court sanctioned them in 2023. The tool was not in the courtroom. The lawyers were.

Mata v. Avianca, S.D.N.Y., 2023

Public record. Not clients of Iron Lion. Each one used AI the way most businesses do today: without a policy, a human checkpoint, or a record.

Your score, your three fixes, and what sits behind them, on a call with the founder. No pitch deck. Where you stand and what to do first.

Flagship

The AI Defensibility Audit

The complete LION examination of everywhere AI touches your business, closing with a controls roadmap cross-mapped to ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF, and a written record you can produce the day someone asks.

The build

Governance Build

The roadmap made real: a policy people follow, human checkpoints, training, logging, vendor diligence. Installed with your team, not thrown over the wall.

For any business with a team

The Guarded Concierge

Revenue automation with documented guardrails. The system that grows your business, built so it can never embarrass it.

  • Social and web response in your voice, approved by you before launch
  • Lead capture and booking wired into every conversation
  • A voice AI phone agent that answers when you cannot
  • The Guardrail File: hard boundaries, industry rules, the approval queue, and the record

Standing advisor

Iron Lion on Retainer

Your AI risk advisor on call: monthly monitoring, quarterly reviews, regulator readiness, and a named response time when something goes wrong.

Pricing is discussed on the call, never on a page. Every engagement is scoped to your business after the 20-minute review.

For managed service providers and IT partners

Add AI defensibility to what you already sell.

Your clients pay you to manage their network. The number one conversation in every one of their offices right now is AI, and most of them have no one to call. We do the work. Your name stays on it.

Talk about a partnership

Why Iron Lion

Why us, and not the agency down the street.

We are a boutique.

We do not have ten thousand clients and a million-dollar ad budget. You are not an account number in a database. We take the time to learn your business, which is the only way to know where your exposure actually is.

We are not installers.

Most vendors set up a chatbot and leave. The person who builds your automation is the same person whose whole practice is making AI use defensible. Hard boundaries in writing. Industry rules built in before launch. A record you can produce.

It is a partnership.

The first step to an AI-compliant business begins with you. The second step is us beside you, every step of the way. Your success is our success. If you are not secure, neither are we.


The method

The LION Model

Four moves, in order. What each one is, and how it actually gets done.

L

Locate

Every place AI touches your business.

Interviews, vendor contracts, work product, and an anonymous staff survey. Four tracks, because no single one catches everything.

I

Identify

Every exposure, in plain language.

Each use mapped to the rule it touches, ranked by how likely it is to be enforced.

O

Operationalize

Controls your team will follow.

A one-page policy, human checkpoints, logs a regulator can read, and vendor terms rewritten.

N

Neutralize

Defensible today, and next quarter.

A 90-day roadmap, a quarterly review, and a signed defensibility statement.

Before someone else decides it for you

If a regulator, a client, or a court asked you tomorrow, could you prove your AI use was responsible?

If the answer is anything other than a clear, documented, confident yes, you are not reckless. You are unprotected. Two minutes tells you where.
