## Products & Services

### [AIGN OS 4.0](https://aign.global/aign-os-3-0-the-operating-system-for-defensible-ai-governance/)
*Solution*
Helps organisations classify AI, activate relevant governance controls, and build traceable evidence for accountable, defensible decisions.
AIGN OS 4.0 is an eight-layer AI governance operating system connecting organisational roles, AI classification, regulatory obligations, controls, evidence, maturity measurement, and trust assurance. Its classification pathway helps organisations qualify AI systems, screen prohibited uses, assess transparency and high-risk obligations, map responsibilities, and identify registration and impact-assessment requirements. The architecture turns obligations into operational controls and structured evidence for boards, auditors, and regulators. Organisations can implement focused modules or a broader operating model. The Guided Installer translates the reference architecture into a traceable workspace and workflow. AIGN OS is a governance architecture, not a standalone software platform. AIGN AI Governance Academy, described as AIGN OS’s human capability layer, provides online learning, practical governance artefacts, readiness profiling, and credential pathways.
