The journey

From first use to real return.

Most organisations are somewhere between stage 1 and stage 2 without having planned it. We help you see where you are, fix what matters first, and move forward only when each stage is working.

Adopt safely

Use AI without exposing the business.

We map your whole AI estate: the tools people use, the platforms and apps with AI built in, and the licences behind them. Then we grade the risk and put the right controls and policy in place.

Operate reliably

Know when AI isn't doing what it should.

Every agent gets an owner and clear expectations. We monitor behaviour and access, and respond fast when something goes wrong.

Scale confidently

Grow AI use without growing the risk.

Technology choices proven before you commit and independent of any vendor's agenda, access that scales with your agents, and a framework your board and auditors trust.

Realise the value

Make AI pay for itself.

We close licensing gaps before an audit finds them, remove overlapping tools and unused licences, cap metered AI spend, and track what AI returns against what it costs.

Stage 1

Adopt safely

Use AI without exposing the business.

We map your whole AI estate: the tools people use, the platforms and apps with AI built in, and the licences behind them. Then we grade the risk and put the right controls and policy in place.

Start with AI Estate Discovery

What we do

  • A map of your AI estate: devices, AI platforms, AI inside your business apps, connectors, identity and data, and licences
  • Inventory of AI tools, agents, MCP servers (connectors that give AI access to your systems), browser extensions and personal accounts linked to company systems
  • A licence check before rollout: what each licence covers, premium features switched on for everyone, and metered AI already running
  • Risk grading of each one, with clear actions
  • AI use policy and a simple approval process for new tools
  • Data protection and oversharing controls before AI can reach sensitive information
  • Access controls for AI agents, and the cyber foundations underneath

What you can show

  • A complete map of your AI estate
  • A licence position checked before rollout
  • Risks graded, prioritised and closing
  • A policy the board has approved

Stage 2

Operate reliably

Know when AI isn't doing what it should.

Every agent gets an owner and clear expectations. We monitor behaviour and access, and respond fast when something goes wrong.

What we do

  • A named owner and defined expectations for every agent
  • Monitoring of agent behaviour and access, with your security operations team or managed detection provider
  • AI incident response playbooks, tested through exercises
  • Quarterly reviews of what each agent does and can reach

What you can show

  • Every agent has an owner
  • Problems detected and handled early
  • Incident readiness that has been tested

You decide what good looks like for each agent. We make sure you know when it is not happening.

Stage 3

Scale confidently

Grow AI use without growing the risk.

Technology choices proven before you commit and independent of any vendor's agenda, access that scales with your agents, and a framework your board and auditors trust.

What we do

  • AI and security technology choices proven on 90-day terms before wider rollout
  • An independent AI platform decision record, so an audit finding or renewal deadline doesn't choose your platform for you
  • Identity and access governance for AI agents as their number grows
  • An approval process that keeps pace with demand
  • Alignment with ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF, plus DORA for financial services firms in scope
  • Board reporting built from live evidence

What you can show

  • New AI use approved quickly and safely
  • Controls that scale with adoption
  • Evidence ready for auditors, insurers and customers

Stage 4

Realise the value

Make AI pay for itself.

We close licensing gaps before an audit finds them, remove overlapping tools and unused licences, cap metered AI spend, and track what AI returns against what it costs.

Start with AI and Technology Cost Review

What we do

  • Licence compliance checks: premium features reaching users who aren't licensed for them, found and fixed before an audit does
  • Licence and subscription optimisation across Microsoft, SaaS and AI tools
  • Spending limits and alerts for metered AI, such as Copilot credits and agent usage
  • Overlapping security and AI tools identified and consolidated
  • Contract terms that keep you flexible
  • A clear view of what AI returns against what it costs

What you can show

  • An audit-ready licence position
  • Technology spend reduced
  • Overlap removed
  • AI value tracked against cost

Not sure which stage you are at?

Most organisations aren't. A 30-minute call is usually enough to find out.
