Ten domains, assessed in one sitting

Ten domains, one focused session

Each domain is tested against how the work actually happens, not against what the policy says should happen. These are the questions the session works through.

  • AI ownership and accountability

    Who is the named owner of each system, and whether that ownership still holds once the system starts making decisions without a person in the loop.

  • AI and agent inventory

    A single register of every model, assistant, agent and embedded AI feature in use — including the ones that arrived through a vendor update rather than a project.

  • Data and system access

    What each tool can actually reach — documents, customer records, internal systems — measured against what it needs to do its job.

  • Human approval and escalation

    Where a person signs off, what triggers an escalation, and whether those gates hold when the work is urgent.

  • Agent autonomy and decision boundaries

    The limits on what an agent may do unsupervised: transaction sizes, irreversible actions, external communication and onward tool use.

  • Risk classification

    Whether AI use cases are rated consistently, and whether that rating actually changes the controls applied to them.

  • Security and privacy controls

    Prompt and output handling, retention, personal data flows, tenancy, and what your contracts say about model training.

  • Monitoring and audit trails

    What is logged when an AI system acts, how long it is kept, and whether it would answer an auditor’s question six months later.

  • Policies and acceptable AI use

    Whether written policy matches observed behaviour, and whether staff can tell what is permitted without having to ask.

  • Third-party AI and vendor risk

    AI features arriving inside software you already bought, and whether any of it went through a review.

Every tool, agent and integration in one inventory

We map what is deployed, who uses it, what data it reaches and how much autonomy it holds — including the AI nobody formally approved.

Where the controls hold, and where they quietly don’t

Approval gates, escalation routes, retention of audit trails, autonomy limits and third-party reach are each tested against how the work actually happens.

Who it’s for

Organisations already running AI in the business, not planning to.

  • Using ChatGPT, Copilot or other GenAI tools across the business
  • Piloting or deploying AI agents
  • Moving AI from experimentation into production
  • Preparing for ISO/IEC 42001 or enterprise AI governance requirements
  • Fielding questions from the board, customers, risk teams or auditors
