Governance and Compliance Are Still the Biggest Barriers to AI Success
SC Media, Monday, April 27th, 2026
Governance and compliance challenges remain the primary obstacles to AI adoption for most organizations.
According to Omdia research, governance and compliance are the leading barriers to AI adoption, with over half of MSPs citing end-customer governance challenges as the main blocker. The article highlights that successful AI adoption has become an operational rather than purely technical problem, requiring robust governance structures before deployment.
Three critical steps are recommended: establishing visibility and accountability for AI agents, implementing integrated governance and compliance platforms rather than point solutions, and promoting continuous education for stakeholders. The findings emphasize that without integrated systems and proper support, many AI initiatives will fail to achieve their intended impact.
