AI readiness assessment and a roadmap you can act on
Before you expand AI across the business, find out what is already in use, how ready your data and systems are and where the risk sits. Our AI readiness assessment ends with a prioritized AI roadmap your leadership can fund and follow.

Why readiness matters
AI adoption works when the foundations are ready
Most organizations already have AI in use, some approved and some not. Adding more AI tools on top of loose permissions, unclassified data and unclear ownership multiplies existing problems. Sensitive files become easier to find, and decisions about AI get made one team at a time.
An AI readiness assessment gives you a baseline. We look at how AI is used today, how prepared your data, identity and infrastructure are and how mature your governance is. You get an AI maturity assessment across each area and a roadmap that puts the highest-value, lowest-risk steps first.
What we assess
Six areas of AI readiness
Each area is scored for maturity so you can see where you are strong and where to invest.
AI use and use cases
An inventory of the AI tools and features in use today, the teams using them and the business cases you want to pursue next.
Data readiness
Where sensitive data lives, how it is classified and who can reach it, because AI tools will find whatever users can access.
Identity and access
Account hygiene, multi-factor authentication, privileged access and how AI services and agents are granted permissions.
AI infrastructure
The cloud, network and endpoint foundations AI workloads depend on, and the security controls around them.
Governance and policy
Acceptable use rules, ownership, approval of new tools and how AI risk is reported to leadership.
People and skills
Awareness training, the skills your teams have today and the support they need to use AI safely.
How it works
From inventory to AI roadmap
Discover
We interview stakeholders, review documentation and inventory AI tools, integrations and use cases across the business.
Assess
We review data, identity, infrastructure and governance against NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, and score each area for maturity.
Quantify risk
We rank risks by likelihood and business impact, so you can see which gaps matter most for the use cases you care about.
Build the roadmap
We present a phased AI roadmap with quick wins, owners and dependencies, and walk your leadership through it.
Deliverables
What you receive
After the assessment
Help delivering the roadmap
A roadmap is only useful if it gets done. Because our team covers security, compliance and infrastructure, we can take on the work that follows, from AI governance and policy to Copilot readiness and identity and access management.
If you want ongoing guidance, a vCISO can own the AI roadmap alongside the rest of your security program and report progress to leadership.
