Guided assessment

Where does your business stand?

Answer honestly. "Don't know" is a valid answer and is scored as risk, not as a failure — it tells us where to look first.

AI Governance

How AI use is inventoried, approved, supervised and documented.

Step 1 of 6

Do you maintain a current inventory of AI systems and AI-enabled tools in use?

Includes assistants, embedded vendor AI features and internal models.

Evidence required: AI system inventory with owner and last-reviewed date

Is there a named human accountable for approving new AI use cases?

A role, not a committee in theory. Decisions must be traceable to a person.

Evidence required: Role description or approval log with signatures

Are high-impact AI outputs reviewed by a person before they affect customers?

Pricing, hiring, credit, safety or legal-facing outputs.

Evidence required: Review procedure plus sample of reviewed outputs

Do you record which data is sent to external AI providers?

Prompt content, customer data, source code, documents.

Evidence required: Data flow note per AI tool

Do staff have written guidance on acceptable AI use?

Short and practical beats long and unread.

Evidence required: Published guidance with version and date
