Phlox Quality and Risk

Software Quality, Compliance, and AI Risk Consulting

Quality you can prove.

Risk you can manage.

PHLOX QUALITY & RISK

We help organizations ship software that works, protects the data it handles, and stands up to compliance review. From QA strategy and test automation to privacy assessments and AI governance, we find the problems before your customers, auditors, or regulators do.

  • We build QA functions from the ground up, or rebuild the ones that aren't working. That means a clear test strategy, defined roles and processes, automated regression, and release gates that keep defects out of production.

    No project is too small. Whether you need a one-time QA review or a dedicated team, we fit the approach to your tech stack, timeline, and budget.

  • Compliance isn't a checklist; it's a set of controls that have to actually work. We test them.

    • Privacy Impact Assessments and data mapping across your systems and third-party vendors

    • Compliance testing for HIPAA and HITECH, FERPA and COPPA, PCI DSS payment flows, and GDPR

    • Access control, encryption, and audit log testing

    • Control mapping against NIST SP 800-53

  • AI tools can summarize records, write code, and make recommendations, and they can get it wrong. We validate AI output before it reaches the people who rely on it.

    • AI output validation using SQL and expert manual review

    • Human approval gates for AI-generated code

    • AI governance gap analysis against the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) and NIST AI 600-1

WHY IT PAYS

Every defect, data leak, or failed audit costs more the later you find it.

We catch problems early, when they are cheapest to fix, by building quality and compliance into each phase from requirements to go-live.

We track every requirement to a test, so you can show exactly what was verified and when.

Bottom line: it's cheaper to have us find the issues before your clients, auditors, or regulators do.
