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.

  • Inventory of AI tools, use cases and data
  • Risk measured across data, identity and systems
  • Prioritized roadmap aligned to NIST AI RMF

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.

How it works

From inventory to AI roadmap

1

Discover

We interview stakeholders, review documentation and inventory AI tools, integrations and use cases across the business.

2

Assess

We review data, identity, infrastructure and governance against NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, and score each area for maturity.

3

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.

4

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

  • Inventory of AI tools, integrations and use cases
  • AI maturity scores for each assessment area
  • Risk register ranked by likelihood and impact
  • Quick wins you can act on right away
  • Phased AI roadmap with owners and dependencies
  • Executive summary and leadership briefing

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.

FAQ

AI readiness assessment questions

An AI readiness assessment measures how prepared your organization is to adopt AI safely. It inventories current AI use, reviews data, identity, infrastructure and governance and produces a prioritized roadmap.

Stakeholder interviews, a review of your AI tools and integrations, maturity scoring across six areas, a ranked risk register and a phased AI roadmap. We finish with an executive briefing so leadership understands the plan.

It depends on the size of your organization, the number of AI tools and use cases in scope and how quickly stakeholders are available. We give you a timeline during scoping and keep your team’s time to a small number of sessions.

The complimentary AI risk assessment focuses on your AI policies and controls. The readiness assessment goes wider, covering data, identity, infrastructure and skills, and ends with a full AI roadmap.

Price depends on the number of business units, AI tools and systems in scope and whether you want help delivering the roadmap afterwards. We scope the work after a short call and give you a fixed proposal.

No. If you are still planning, the assessment focuses on whether your data, identity and governance are ready for the use cases you have in mind. Most organizations find some AI use is already happening.
