  • Can run standalone or as the first phase of ongoing compliance support.
  • Start with the free exposure check to see if a full assessment makes sense yet.

What an AI readiness assessment includes

A review of your existing AI inventory (or help building one if you do not have one), risk classification of each system against the EU AI Act's tiers, a gap analysis against the obligations that apply to your classified systems, and a prioritised roadmap covering policy, governance and evidence gaps.

Who it's for

Businesses that know AI compliance applies to them in some way but need a structured, evidenced answer to exactly where the gaps are and what to fix first, rather than a generic checklist.

How it works

1. Kick-off. Understand your current AI use and any existing governance.

2. Inventory and classification. Map every AI system and classify its risk tier.

3. Gap analysis. Compare current state against the obligations that apply.

4. Roadmap. A prioritised, proportionate plan with owners and timelines, ready to present to your board.

What you walk away with

A completed or updated AI inventory, documented risk classifications, a gap analysis, and a remediation roadmap you can execute yourselves or with ongoing support. Get in touch to scope your assessment.
