AI Risk Assessment
Assess your AI-related risks and build a prioritised action plan.
AI risk made actionable
Our AI risk assessment gives organisations a practical way to identify AI use, assess risk and prioritise action.
We help you move beyond high-level principles by defining clear next steps, supporting governance and strengthening controls.
We also offer the option to assess AI use cases through a Māori data lens, with a focus on cultural sensitivity, data sovereignty and potential community impact and harm.

FAQs
What is an AI risk assessment?
Our AI risk assessment helps organisations understand how AI is being used, assess control maturity, identify risk gaps and prioritise remediation.
Why do we need an AI risk assessment?
- AI adoption is moving quickly, often faster than governance and control frameworks can keep up. An AI risk assessment helps your organisation understand where AI is being used, what risks may exist, whether current controls are strong enough and what actions should be prioritised to reduce exposure.
What types of AI use does the risk assessment cover?
- We can assess a wide range of enterprise AI use cases, including generative AI tools, copilots, AI-enabled SaaS platforms, internal automation, decision-support tools, customer-facing AI services and third-party AI integrations.
Why is the Māori data lens important?
- For organisations with Māori data in their care, standard privacy and security controls may not be enough on their own. A Māori data lens supports a more responsible and Aotearoa-relevant approach by recognising Māori data as taonga and helping organisations consider governance, cultural impact, trust and appropriate decision-making.
Can an AI risk assessment help identify shadow AI?
- Yes. It helps organisations consider the risks of shadow AI, including unapproved tools, unauthorised use, browser-based AI services, plugins, and workflows that may sit outside formal governance or visibility.
