Adopt AI without regulatory exposure.
AI tools introduce new data handling risks. We review your current security posture and compliance obligations to ensure AI adoption does not create regulatory exposure, with a clear remediation roadmap before any tool is deployed.
Security and compliance before AI deployment.
Our security and compliance review covers GDPR, sector regulations, vendor due diligence, security controls, and data handling procedures to ensure compliant AI adoption.
Security Posture Assessment
We assess your current security controls against the specific risks introduced by AI tool adoption, including data exfiltration risks, prompt injection vulnerabilities, and the security implications of connecting AI tools to your internal systems.
GDPR and Data Protection Review
We review your GDPR compliance position against the data handling requirements of your target AI tools, identifying consent gaps, data minimisation issues, and the lawful basis for processing personal data through AI systems.
Sector Regulation Assessment
We assess your AI adoption plans against sector-specific regulations including FCA rules for financial services, CQC requirements for healthcare, and SRA obligations for legal firms, identifying compliance gaps before deployment.
AI Tool Vendor Due Diligence
We conduct due diligence on your target AI tool vendors, reviewing their data processing agreements, sub-processor chains, data residency commitments, and security certifications to ensure they meet your compliance requirements.
Data Handling Procedures Review
We review your existing data handling procedures to identify gaps that need to be addressed before AI tools can be used safely, including procedures for handling special category data, client data, and commercially sensitive information.
Compliance Gap Report
We produce a structured compliance gap report identifying every regulatory and security gap that needs to be addressed before AI adoption, with prioritised remediation recommendations and implementation timelines.
From compliance mapping to compliant deployment.
Compliance Landscape Mapping
We identify all applicable regulations, standards, and contractual obligations relevant to your AI adoption plans, including sector-specific rules, GDPR obligations, and any contractual data handling requirements.
Security Controls Review
We review your current security controls against the specific risks introduced by AI tool adoption, assessing access controls, data loss prevention, network security, and monitoring capabilities.
Vendor Due Diligence
We conduct structured due diligence on your target AI tool vendors, reviewing their data processing agreements, security certifications, data residency commitments, and breach notification procedures.
GDPR and Data Protection Assessment
We assess your GDPR position against the data handling requirements of your target AI tools, identifying consent gaps, DPIA requirements, and the lawful basis for AI-related data processing.
Gap Identification and Prioritisation
We identify and prioritise every compliance and security gap that needs to be addressed before AI adoption, rating each gap by severity and the effort required to remediate.
Compliance Roadmap Delivery
We deliver a structured compliance roadmap with specific remediation actions, responsible owners, timelines, and success criteria for each gap identified, giving you a clear path to compliant AI adoption.
Compliant AI adoption for regulated UK sectors.
FCA-Regulated Investment Firm
