Know which AI your organisation really uses.

In 2 to 3 weeks we map the AI tools, data flows and self-built apps in your organisation. We assess them for privacy, security, fairness and energy. You get a risk overview with priorities.

Sound familiar?

AI is already in your organisation. The question is where.

01

Your team uses ChatGPT or Copilot, without agreements.

Everyone does it their own way. Nobody knows which data has already ended up in a prompt.

02

There are AI tools running that IT doesn’t know about.

A free transcription app, a browser plug-in, a new AI feature in software you already had. It’s called shadow AI, and it grows by itself.

03

A colleague built their own app with AI.

It works and the team likes using it. But where does the data go, and who maintains it when that colleague leaves?

What we look at

Four tests for every tool and every app

We put every application through the same four questions. That way you can compare them fairly.

Privacy

Which data?

We check

Which kinds of data (including health or pupil data), where the vendor processes and stores it, whether it’s used to train models, and whether there’s a data processing agreement.

Security

Who has access?

We check

Accounts and access rights, personal or shared licences, keys and passwords in self-built apps, and what gets logged.

Fairness

Is the outcome fair?

We check

Whether AI helps make decisions about people, whether a colleague has the final say, and whether the outcome differs for some groups.

Energy

Less energy?

We check

Which model runs for which task, how often, and whether a smaller model or a plain search function would do.

How it works

From kick-off to risk overview in 2 to 3 weeks

The scan only starts after an introductory call and a proposal we agree on together. After that your team simply keeps working: we ask for a contact person, a short questionnaire and a few conversations.

  1. 1

    Kick-off

    Week 1. An hour with your contact people: which teams take part, who we talk to and what we may look at.

  2. 2

    Inventory

    Week 1. A short questionnaire for your teams and conversations with the people who use AI. Including what runs alongside the official tools.

  3. 3

    Review

    Week 2. We review the tools, data flows and self-built apps against the four tests.

  4. 4

    Risk overview

    Weeks 2 to 3. For each application a finding and a priority: fix now, soon or OK.

  5. 5

    Feedback

    Week 3. We walk management, IT and the DPO through the risk overview. You get the report and a first AI register.

What it asks of your team: one contact person, a 15-minute questionnaire per team and 3 to 6 conversations of 45 minutes.

After a first conversation you get a proposal with a clear scope and a fixed price.

What you get

A risk overview you can act on straight away

Not a thick report that ends up in a drawer. You get four things you can use and keep up to date yourself.

  • Overview of tools and data flowsWhich AI, in which team, with which data, and where that data goes.
  • Review of self-built AI appsAccess, data, keys, and who maintains the app.
  • Risk overview with prioritiesWhat to fix now, what can wait, and what is OK.
  • A first AI registerOne list of your AI applications, with owner and risk. A good basis for your AI policy and your agreements on AI literacy.

Example

Risk overview

5 of 14 applications

  • Free AI chat on personal accounts

    Privacy

    Client data in prompts, no agreements

    Fix now

  • Self-built app for reports

    Security

    The AI service key is in a shared folder

    Fix now

  • Meeting transcription

    Privacy

    Participants don’t know they’re being recorded

    Soon

  • CV screening in the HR package

    Fairness

    Nobody reviews the rejections

    Fix now

  • Copilot in Microsoft 365

    Privacy

    Works with your existing permissions, agreements are on paper

    OK

Made-up example. In your real risk overview, each row gets an owner in the AI register.

After the scan

Then you decide what comes next

The risk overview is yours. You can follow it up yourself, with us or with another partner.

Roadmap

A working day with your team. You choose the applications that matter, work out the first one and make agreements for 6 to 12 months.

Pilot around one workflow

If the scan reveals an opportunity, we build it small and controllable, in your own systems.

AI literacy training

Agreements only work once your team knows and understands them.

Or nothing

If everything is in order, we’ll say so. Sometimes you won’t need us after that.

Frequently asked questions

What people often ask us

Question not listed? Just ask us.

Data processing agreement on request.

Do you get access to our data during the scan?

As little as possible. We work with the questionnaire, conversations and screen sharing, and look at settings and data flows, not at the content of files. For self-built apps we look at code and configuration, preferably with test data. If we do need access, we agree in advance what, for how long and read-only.

Do you sign an NDA and a data processing agreement?

If you ask for a confidentiality or data processing agreement, we arrange it before the start. If you work with your own template, we’re happy to review it.

How much time does this take from our team?

Not much. One contact person spends a few hours a week on it, mainly scheduling meetings and answering questions. The teams fill in a questionnaire of about 15 minutes, and we talk to 3 to 6 people, 45 minutes each. The feedback session takes 1.5 hours.

Is the scan a legal check?

No. The scan shows which applications may fall under which rules of the AI Act, but it isn’t legal advice. For a legal opinion, it’s best to work with your lawyer.

Will you point the finger at colleagues?

No. The scan is about tools and agreements, not people. We report per application and per team, never per employee. What’s said in a conversation stays between us. That way people dare to say honestly what they use.

Do we have to buy anything from you afterwards?

No. The risk overview and the AI register are yours. You can follow them up yourself or with another partner.

In a 30-minute conversation we look at whether an AI Scan makes sense, or whether a Pitstop is enough.
