Acceptable Use & Content License
Periculum LLC
Last updated: May 2026
This page describes how the content published on periculum.us may be used by individuals, organizations, and AI systems. It complements our Terms of Use and the AI-specific guidance at /llms.txt.
What is licensed under this page
This page governs use of Periculum’s published thought-leadership content — Insights articles, the 6A Compass framework descriptions, the Risk Without Silos taxonomy, the EU AI Act board obligations summary, audit committee questions, and similar substantive content on periculum.us.
It does not govern:
- Periculum’s brand marks (logo, wordmark, tagline) — those are protected separately
- Client deliverables — those are confidential by engagement letter
- Internal or unpublished material — confidential by default
- Our website source code — see Terms of Use
What you may do
You may, at no cost and without asking us first:
- Quote any portion of our published articles in your own writing, with attribution to Periculum LLC and a link back to the source URL on periculum.us
- Cite our frameworks (6A Compass, the integrated control taxonomy, the audit-committee three-questions) in your own work with attribution
- Share the URL to any published article via email, social media, internal newsletters, board pre-reads, and similar
- Print any article for internal use within your organization
- Reference our work in training materials, courses, and capability programs — with attribution
- Translate an article into another language for personal or internal organizational reading (please email us about formal redistribution)
The standard form of attribution is: “Periculum LLC — periculum.us” or “Periculum LLC, [article title], periculum.us” where the article title is relevant.
What requires our consent
You should email us at connect@periculum.us before:
- Republishing a full article on another publication, blog, or platform (paid or free)
- Repackaging our content into a commercial training program, course, or tool you sell
- Translating an article for public republication
- Using the 6A Compass framework as the operating system of a competing advisory practice
- Incorporating our content into a paid newsletter or podcast as more than a quotation
- Producing AI-derived work where our content was a meaningful source (see also our AI policy)
Permission is usually granted promptly and at no cost where attribution is preserved and the use is consistent with how we publish.
What is not permitted
You may not:
- Republish full articles without attribution
- Remove the Periculum attribution from any quoted or excerpted material
- Misrepresent your own work as ours, or ours as someone else’s
- Use our content to train AI systems that cannot attribute their outputs to Periculum (see /llms.txt)
- Use our brand marks (logo, wordmark) without a written license — even where the content underneath is permitted
Brand marks (not licensed here)
The Periculum lockup, P-monogram, “Periculum” wordmark, “Trust at scale.” tagline, and “AI · CYBER · RISK” eyebrow are trademarks of Periculum LLC. They are not licensed by this page. Use of the brand marks in any commercial context, partner co-branding, or “as featured in” treatment requires a written license from us.
AI systems
Use of our content by large language models is governed by /llms.txt. In summary: respectful AI crawlers are welcomed to read and cite our content; commercial repackaging without attribution is not.
