Capabilities

Built for
scrutiny.

Every element of the diagnostic and reporting framework is calibrated for organisations operating under active UK and EU regulatory oversight. Not generic checklists.

Start the diagnostic
Precise Regulatory Mapping

Every finding references the specific article, ICO guidance paragraph, or FCA expectation it addresses. Not paraphrased advice — the exact legal basis, cited.

Sector Exposure Adjustment

Financial services, healthcare, legal, and public sector deployments carry different risk profiles. Your maturity score is adjusted by a sector-specific multiplier — not a flat number that means nothing to your regulator.

EU AI Act Annex III Detection

Automatic identification of high-risk AI categories under Annex III, with conformity assessment flags and Article 14 human oversight obligations — mapped directly from your responses.

Board and Auditor-Ready Output

The generated report is structured for professional audiences — executive summary, risk band narrative, domain-by-domain findings, prioritised recommendations, and a regulatory framework appendix.

Secure Client Portal

Every assessment is stored in your private account. Revisit results, download reports, and track governance posture over time. Your assessment data is not shared or used beyond your account.

The regulatory
window is
closing.

UK professional services firms deploying AI face compounding obligations from multiple regulators — simultaneously. Most are underprepared.

Aug 2026
EU AI Act high-risk obligations take effect. Firms without documented governance frameworks face direct enforcement exposure.
Now
FCA DP5/22 expects boards to evidence how AI decisions are overseen and challenged. Supervisory visits are already testing this.
Ongoing
ICO enforcement on automated decision-making is active. Explainability and human oversight gaps are the primary trigger.
