What are staff using already?
Identify current tools and tasks, including informal use, so the review starts with how work actually happens.
AI Privacy and Readiness Audit
Choose your next AI step with a clear privacy and readiness review
If staff are already trying AI, or you are considering it for documents and meetings, start by understanding the task and the data involved. The audit helps Irish businesses compare online, offline and self-hosted options before committing to a tool or build.
First, request a 20-minute introductory call. Any audit work is scoped, quoted and agreed separately, with a written action plan as its output.
What the audit helps you decide
Choose one useful task and the right way to approach it
The recommendation may be a document-search pilot, a meeting workflow, staff training, clearer rules or no AI build yet. It starts with the work your team needs to do.
For teams handling confidential information
This can suit professional services, health and care, education, engineering, construction, manufacturing and local organisations. The relevant question is what information your workflow uses and how it needs to be protected.
Bring the decision you need to make
Which information needs control?
Describe the types of files and recordings involved and who needs to use them. Keep the first enquiry general.
What would a useful result look like?
Choose a task that can be checked, such as finding the right policy with a source reference.
What is included
A focused review of use cases, data and next steps
Use-case review
We look at the current steps, staff needs and a useful way to evaluate a possible pilot, including where human review is needed.
Privacy and data risk review
We consider sensitive information, access and data flows. Any review of confidential material needs an agreed process before the material is shared.
Tool and workflow recommendations
We compare suitable online services, local or self-hosted tools and open-source options, alongside training or a simpler non-AI process.
What you receive
A practical action plan
The agreed audit produces a short written plan covering a recommended first use case, data and access considerations, suitable tool options, implementation choices and staff training priorities. Implementation is a separate decision.
Illustrative action plan for office-policy search
This fictional example starts with approved, non-sensitive office policies. The plan would identify who maintains the files, which staff may search them and whether the assistant should run locally or use an approved online service.
A suggested pilot would test sample questions against known answers and source references. The plan would also record how staff check answers, who updates the documents and what would need to be resolved before a wider rollout.
How it works
From an introductory call to an agreed audit
-
1
Introductory call
Send a general enquiry and request a 20-minute call to discuss the problem and a possible use case.
-
2
Scope and quote
If an audit would help, its review scope, written output, price and expected timing are agreed before that work begins.
-
3
Workflow review
The commissioned audit examines the agreed workflow, tools, staff needs and data boundaries.
-
4
Action plan
You receive the written recommendation and key privacy considerations, then decide whether to commission any next step.
Before sending anything
What not to send through the contact form
Please do not send sensitive files through the contact form. We can arrange a secure review process if sensitive material needs to be discussed after the first enquiry.
FAQ
AI Privacy and Readiness Audit questions
Does the introductory call include the audit?
No. The 20-minute call is an initial discussion of your problem and possible next steps. Any audit review and written action plan are scoped, quoted and agreed separately.
Does the audit guarantee GDPR compliance?
No. The audit is practical AI privacy and readiness support, not legal advice and not a guarantee of GDPR compliance.
Do we need to send sensitive files through the contact form?
No. The first enquiry should stay high-level. If sensitive material needs to be reviewed, a safer review process can be agreed first.
Can the audit lead to an offline AI setup?
Yes. The audit may recommend an offline AI starter setup, private document assistant, offline transcription workflow, staff training or no build yet, depending on the business need.
Is this suitable for a small business?
Yes. The audit is designed to help small teams choose one practical AI use case instead of committing to a large project too early.
