Scope statement
A clear record of what was and was not assessed, preventing the result from being mistaken for an organisation-wide certification.
Know what AI your organisation is using, where the most important risks sit and what needs to happen next—before committing to a larger governance programme.
Many organisations know staff use ChatGPT, Copilot or AI-enabled business systems, but cannot produce a reliable list or explain which uses matter most. The Health Check creates that starting point and separates urgent issues from longer-term improvements.
Outcome: management receives an evidence-based snapshot—not a certificate—and a sequenced plan showing what to stop, investigate, document or improve.
A short, structured engagement designed to minimise disruption while obtaining enough evidence to make useful decisions.
Agree the legal entity, locations, departments, systems and assessment period covered. Name the client owner and identify available documents.
Interview relevant people from management, IT, HR, marketing, operations, procurement and data protection to find official and informal AI use.
Record tools, embedded features, vendors, owners, purposes, users, affected people, data categories and approval status.
Screen for prohibited uses, potential high-risk categories, transparency, AI literacy, personal-data, vendor, transfer and human-oversight concerns.
Sample current policies, contracts, privacy records, training and controls to distinguish documented practice from assumptions.
Explain the findings in plain English, confirm factual accuracy and agree immediate owners and priorities.
Every output is usable by management and designed to become the starting evidence for further work.
A clear record of what was and was not assessed, preventing the result from being mistaken for an organisation-wide certification.
A structured working list of discovered AI tools and use cases, with owners, purposes, data and status.
Findings grouped as urgent, important, investigate or good-practice improvement, with the reason for each flag.
A plain-English account of missing policies, evidence, training, vendor checks, GDPR records and operational controls.
Sequenced actions with suggested owners, priority, target timing and the evidence needed to close each item.
A walkthrough of findings, decisions required and recommended next step, with time for questions.
The Health Check replaces uncertainty with a controlled starting point.
Surface tools and embedded features management may not know are in use.
Focus budget and attention on risks affecting people, personal data or important decisions.
Create a shared, understandable view across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Know whether the next requirement is policy, data protection, technical control, training or specialist advice.
Discuss your organisation, current AI use and whether the Health Check is the right starting point.
