Alena Elmer

Independent GRC and AI governance consultant: DORA, NIS2, EU AI Act

Founder, AEQUOM, Fair Ops & AI Governance

Zurich, Switzerland · Europe · English, German, Swedish, Russian

About

I turn DORA, NIS2 and EU AI Act requirements into audit-ready operating models for financial services, technology and telecom firms.

Fifteen years including designing self-testing compliance tools and supporting certification work under a U.S. Department of Justice Deferred Prosecution Agreement across 180+ countries.

Known for finding where multiple regulatory frameworks land on the same control and building the evidence layer once, rather than duplicating it per regime.

What I do

  • EU AI Act Article 17 QMS readiness
  • DORA Register of Information and third-party risk mapping
  • FINMA-aligned AI governance frameworks
  • Responsibility and decision-rights mapping for board accountability regimes
  • AI Governance Audit Sprint: 60-minute diagnostic, board-ready scorecard in 5 working days
