AI Readiness Assessment
Understand your AI risk before your regulator does.
A structured assessment of your organisation's current AI posture — mapping known and shadow AI deployments, establishing a risk baseline, and defining what safe, governed AI adoption looks like for your specific context.
What you gain
Most organisations have more AI in use than their IT or security teams know about. Shadow AI — tools adopted by individual teams without formal approval — creates data exposure risks, compliance gaps, and governance blind spots that traditional security controls don't address. The AI Readiness Assessment is CYVOXAI's structured methodology for understanding your current state: what AI tools are in use, who is using them, what data they are exposed to, and what risks that creates. The output is not a list of things to prohibit — it is a clear, actionable picture of where you are, what risks need addressing first, and what a realistic path to governed, secure AI adoption looks like for your organisation. We align findings to UAE AI Strategy requirements, emerging EU AI Act obligations for GCC organisations with EU operations, and your sector-specific regulatory environment.
- Complete inventory of AI tools in use across the organisation — including shadow AI
- Risk-rated exposure map identifying where sensitive data is reaching AI systems
- Regulatory gap analysis aligned to UAE AI Strategy, EU AI Act, and sector frameworks
- Prioritised remediation roadmap with short, medium, and long-term actions
How it works
A structured 4-step engagement designed to deliver clear, measurable outcomes — not just activity.
Discovery Workshop
Structured interviews with IT, security, operations, HR, finance, and department leads to map all AI tools in use — from enterprise platforms to individual browser extensions and SaaS tools with embedded AI.
Technical Environment Review
Review of network traffic patterns, SaaS application logs, browser proxy data (where available), and endpoint management records to identify AI tool usage that may not surface in interviews.
Risk Baseline Assessment
For each AI tool identified, we assess data classification of inputs, output handling, vendor security posture, data residency, and contractual data handling commitments — producing a risk rating per tool.
Roadmap & Governance Design
We synthesise findings into an AI risk baseline report and governance roadmap — defining approved use cases, required controls, policy requirements, and a phased implementation timeline aligned to your operational capacity.
What you receive
Every engagement produces tangible outputs your organisation can use — not just a workshop and a verbal debrief.
- AI Inventory & Shadow AI Discovery Report — complete, risk-rated tool inventory
- AI Risk Baseline Assessment — data exposure mapping and regulatory gap analysis
- Executive Summary — board-ready presentation of findings and risk exposure
- AI Governance Roadmap — phased implementation plan with prioritised actions
- AI Acceptable Use Policy (draft) — tailored to your organisation's context and sector
