Rivac LabsAutomation Governance Architect
Once a business has a dozen automations running across n8n, Zapier, and a handful of internal scripts, the real risk stops being 'will this workflow work' and becomes 'does anyone actually know what all of these do, who can change them, and what happens when one fails.' This service builds the governance layer over an existing or growing automation footprint: an inventory of every live workflow, ownership and change-control rules, version history, and audit trails that satisfy compliance and security review. It's built for operations and IT leaders who've watched automation sprawl outpace their ability to manage it, and who need to pass a security review or compliance audit without discovering an orphaned workflow with production database access. The result is a catalogued, auditable automation estate instead of a pile of workflows nobody wants to touch for fear of breaking something.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Diagnose the current automation footprint by inventorying every live workflow, its owner, its permissions, and its failure history.
- 2
Pilot the governance framework — ownership rules, change approval, audit logging — on the highest-risk automations first.
- 3
Review the proposed governance model with IT, security, and process owners before it becomes mandatory policy.
- 4
Operate the governance program going forward: onboarding new automations, enforcing review gates, and maintaining the audit trail.
