    AI Governance Assessment

    Is Your Organisation AI-Ready?

    The Assessment

    What Is AI Readiness?

    AI Readiness evaluates how prepared your organisation is to adopt, manage, and govern AI tools safely. It covers three critical dimensions.

    AI Adoption Maturity

    Understand how effectively your organisation has adopted AI tools, from strategy to integration.

    Shadow AI Visibility

    Gain visibility into unapproved AI tools being used, and the data flowing to them.

    AI Governance

    Evaluate your policies, vendor assessments, and incident response procedures for AI.

    Why It Matters

    The Hidden Risks of Unmanaged AI

    Without visibility and governance, AI tools can become a significant security and compliance liability.

    Shadow AI Risks

    Employees using unapproved AI tools can inadvertently leak sensitive data to third-party services.

    Data Leakage

    Without proper controls, confidential information may be shared with AI models and stored indefinitely.

    Compliance Gaps

    Regulators are increasingly scrutinizing AI usage. Without governance, you risk non-compliance.
