The engagement
What the readiness assessment covers.
A fixed-scope engagement — not an open-ended retainer.
AI Use Inventory
Identify what AI tools are in use across your organization, who owns them, and where data exposure and policy gaps exist.
Gap Analysis Report
Evaluate your current controls, policy links, and ownership structure using NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act alignment frameworks.
Risk Profile Matrix
Risk-ranked view of gaps and exposure across your AI inventory — so leadership sees what matters most.
Governance Roadmap
Document where the critical gaps are and sequence remediation by risk — so you’re fixing the right things first.
Each deliverable is structured to stand on its own — usable by auditors, legal teams, and leadership without further translation.
Your practitioner
Troy Hughes
Regulated-industry IT background with hands-on experience deploying AI infrastructure and writing AI governance policy in regulated environments. Not a framework reseller — a practitioner who has operated real systems under real oversight, where documentation and defensible process aren’t optional.
