AI Exposure & Shadow AI
Which AI tools, vendors, and automated systems are operating across your organisation - including those adopted without formal board approval - and whether your board has genuine visibility of the risk they carry.
Independent. Conflict-Free. Board-Ready.
Your organisation is using AI tools. Some were approved formally. Some were not. In either case, if an AI-related incident occurred tomorrow - a privacy breach, a biased automated decision, a vendor failure - your board's conduct would come under scrutiny. This engagement gives your board a defensible, documented oversight position before that question is forced.
"If an AI tool your organisation uses caused a customer harm tomorrow - what documentation would your board produce to show the decision to deploy it was properly governed?"Enquire About This Review

This review is designed for boards that need documented oversight before external pressure forces the issue.
A board whose organisation is adopting AI tools, formally or informally, and has not yet established documented oversight of that adoption.
A board that knows AI is being used across the organisation but has never received a report identifying which tools are in use and what data they process.
A board that wants a defensible record of having assessed AI risk before an incident, a regulator, or a counterparty forces the question.
This is not a technical AI audit. It is an independent assessment of whether your board has a defensible, documented oversight position for the AI risk your organisation carries - and whether that position would withstand scrutiny from a regulator, auditor, or court.
Which AI tools, vendors, and automated systems are operating across your organisation - including those adopted without formal board approval - and whether your board has genuine visibility of the risk they carry.
Whether your current oversight structure would withstand scrutiny under the Privacy Act, ASIC's technology risk guidance, ASX Corporate Governance Principles 4 and 7, and emerging AI regulatory frameworks.
Where individual directors are personally exposed under Australian law, and what needs to be documented to establish a defensible record of active oversight.
