Our Mission
To bridge the gap between innovation and safety by providing independent governance, audit, and training that enables organizations to adopt AI and technology with confidence—ensuring every tool is compliant, ethical, and secure before it reaches the people who depend on it.
Our Story
Tailored Professionals was founded on a simple but powerful truth: real-world compliance isn’t about policy binders—it’s about operational reality.
​
After more than 14 years in IT leadership—spanning federal defense projects, enterprise data governance, and education technology—our founder, Dr. Alvin Taylor, saw a consistent gap. Schools, hospitals, and growing businesses were adopting AI and digital tools at lightning speed, but their governance frameworks were static, understaffed, or overlooked entirely.
​
That’s why we built a new kind of authority—one that doesn’t just audit, but also trains. One that speaks the language of both pedagogy and IT, clinical workflows and cybersecurity, innovation and regulation.
We’re here to ensure that progress doesn’t come at the cost of privacy, safety, or trust.
