Is Your Organisation AI-Ready?
Evaluate your AI adoption maturity, Shadow AI visibility, and governance policies in under 5 minutes.
As AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot become ubiquitous, organisations face new risks around data leakage and compliance. Understand where you stand, and what to do next.
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.
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.
