AI Risk Assessment for Businesses
Pinpoint where AI lives in your business and what it means for your safety.
Helping you identify, assess, and manage AI risks effectively.
AI Risk Assessment for Businesses
AI is already inside most organisations.
Often informally. Often undocumented. Often unmanaged.
An AI Risk Assessment identifies where AI is being used, what risks exist, and what controls are required to protect the organisation, its data, and its leadership.
This assessment is designed for organisations that need clarity, documentation, and control, not experimentation.
What is an AI Risk Assessment?
An AI Risk Assessment is a structured review of how artificial intelligence tools and systems are used within an organisation, including:
Generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Copilot)
Internal models and analytics
Third-party AI vendors
Employee-driven or “shadow” AI usage
The goal is to establish:
Risk exposure
Governance gaps
Immediate mitigation actions
What the assessment includes
AI usage inventory
Risk classification and scoring
Data flow and exposure review
Policy and governance gap analysis
Prioritised remediation actions
Board-ready summary report
This is documentation and control, not experimentation.
What risks does it address?
AI data protection & GDPR risk
Personal data entered into AI tools
Confidential or client data exposure
Unclear data processing terms
Cross-border data transfers
Employee AI usage risk
Uncontrolled staff use of AI tools
Lack of guidance or training
Inconsistent decision-making
Over-reliance on unvalidated outputs
AI governance & compliance risk
No AI policy or framework
No accountability or ownership
Inability to evidence controls
Regulatory or client scrutiny
Audit & documentation risk
No inventory of AI systems
No risk register
No decision records
No defensible paper trail
Who typically requests this?
Compliance and legal teams
Finance and risk leaders
Organisations responding to internal warnings
Businesses preparing for audit, due diligence, or regulatory review
How long does it take?
Typical duration: 10–14 days
You get:
Fixed scope
Minimal disruption
Clear outputs
Outcomes
After completion, organisations can:
Answer “Are we exposed?”
Demonstrate reasonable governance
Show proactive risk management
Move from uncertainty to control
AI Operations Risk
AI operations risk is the risk that emerges from how artificial intelligence is actually used day to day, not from the technology itself.
In practice, this risk appears when informal experimentation becomes permanent behaviour, when decisions are made without records, when tools change without review, when data flows in ways no one mapped, and when responsibility diffuses across teams.
None of this requires malicious intent. It is a natural outcome of AI being easy to use, widely available, and loosely governed.
This pattern is familiar to anyone who has worked in payments or regulated systems.
In environments where money moves, rules are enforced, and scrutiny is constant, these behaviours surface quickly and expensively. Decisions must be explainable long after they are made. Ownership must be explicit. Systems must behave predictably under pressure. AI does not change those requirements. It exposes where they are missing.
AI operations risk is therefore not a technology problem. It is a systems and governance problem. It sits between IT, compliance, operations, and leadership, often owned by no one until something goes wrong.
Our work exists to make this risk visible, manageable, and defensible before it becomes obvious to auditors, regulators, clients, or boards.
Where AI risk has already emerged through informal use, a governance framework and policy suite are often required to make new decisions clear and defensible. Our AI Policies & Governance Frameworks work addresses that need directly.
