AI Audit & Compliance
Know what AI runs in your company. Before the regulator asks.
Most organizations have employees using ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and dozens of other AI tools without IT's knowledge or approval. Our AI audit maps all of it, quantifies the risk and hidden costs, and delivers a clear plan to get compliant with GDPR and the EU AI Act.

Why it matters
AI is already in your organization. The question is whether you control it.
Unauthorized AI usage creates four types of risk. Our audit addresses all of them.
Data Leakage
Employees paste internal documents, customer data, source code, and financial information into public AI tools every day. Once it's in the training data, you can't get it back.
Uncontrolled Costs
Individual subscriptions to ChatGPT Plus, Copilot, and other tools add up fast. Most companies have no idea how much they're actually spending on AI across the organization.
Regulatory Exposure
The EU AI Act is here. It requires documentation, risk classification, and compliance evidence for AI systems. Without an inventory of what you're running, you can't even start.
Missed Opportunity
When AI is scattered and unmanaged, you can't measure its impact, optimize its use, or scale what works. A structured approach turns chaos into competitive advantage.
Our Process
From discovery to action plan in 5 steps
We don't just hand you a list of findings. Each step builds on the previous one, ending with a concrete roadmap your team can execute.
Step 1
Shadow AI Discovery
We identify every AI tool in use across your organization, authorized or not.
- → Network traffic analysis for known AI API endpoints
- → DNS and proxy log review for AI service domains
- → Employee survey to capture browser-based and mobile AI usage
- → SaaS subscription audit (license management, expense reports)
- → Browser extension and desktop app inventory
Step 2
Risk & Cost Assessment
We quantify what you're exposed to and what you're spending without knowing.
- → PII and sensitive data exposure analysis per tool
- → Cost aggregation across individual subscriptions and API usage
- → Data residency mapping: where does your data go?
- → Security posture assessment per AI vendor
- → Risk scoring matrix: likelihood x impact per tool
Step 3
AI Act Gap Analysis
We assess your AI systems against EU AI Act requirements and classify them.
- → AI system inventory and risk classification (minimal/limited/high/unacceptable)
- → Documentation completeness review per system
- → Transparency and disclosure obligations check
- → Human oversight requirements assessment
- → Timeline mapping: what's required now vs. later
Step 4
Remediation Roadmap
A prioritized action plan with clear ownership, effort estimates, and quick wins.
- → Block/formalize/replace decision per unauthorized tool
- → Quick wins: what can be fixed this week
- → Medium-term: policy changes, tool consolidation
- → Long-term: infrastructure recommendations (AIWorkspace, AIForge)
- → Cost projection: current spend vs. managed approach
Step 5
Implementation Support
We help you execute the plan, not just read it.
- → Policy drafting: acceptable AI use policy template
- → Tool blocking/allowlisting configuration
- → Transition planning to managed AI platform (AIWorkspace)
- → Employee communication and training support
- → Follow-up audit scheduling (quarterly/semi-annual)
Result
Full AI Risk Report
A comprehensive PDF document covering all findings, risk scores, cost analysis, compliance gaps, and a step-by-step remediation roadmap. Ready to present to management, compliance, or the board.
What you get
Concrete deliverables, not a generic slide deck
AI Tool Inventory
Complete list of every AI tool, service, and API in use. Per department, per team. Including tools employees think nobody knows about.
Risk Scoring Matrix
Each tool scored on data exposure, cost, compliance risk, and business value. Color-coded priority: what to fix first, what can wait.
Hidden Cost Report
Total AI spend across the organization, broken down by department. Individual subscriptions, API costs, and estimated productivity impact.
AI Act Compliance Assessment
Classification of your AI systems under the EU AI Act. Documentation gaps identified, with specific requirements per system.
Remediation Roadmap
Prioritized plan with three horizons: quick wins (this week), medium-term (this quarter), and strategic (this year). With effort estimates and ownership.
AI Use Policy Template
Draft acceptable-use policy for AI tools in your organization. Covers data handling, approved tools, prohibited uses, and escalation procedures.
Who this is for
You don't need to be an AI company to have an AI problem
Midsize companies (100-1000 employees)
Large enough that you can't track what everyone's using, small enough that you don't have a dedicated AI governance team yet.
Regulated industries
Finance, healthcare, insurance, energy, manufacturing. If you're subject to compliance requirements, AI adds a new layer you need to address.
EU-based or EU-serving organizations
The AI Act applies to you. Whether you're based in the EU or serve EU customers, compliance is not optional.
What happens after the audit
The audit is the starting point, not the end
Most clients use the audit findings to take one of these next steps. There's no obligation to continue with us, but most do.
Deploy AIWorkspace
Replace scattered AI tools with a single managed platform. Central chat, multi-model access, PII filtering, cost controls, and full audit logging. All self-hosted on your infrastructure.
