Practical AI governance for smaller organisations
AI adoption is moving faster than visibility and control. Management may not know which AI tools or embedded features are in use. Baseline Governance helps smaller organisations understand current AI use, identify material risks and establish proportionate governance.
Do you know how AI is actually being used in your business?
- Staff may be using ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude and AI features inside existing software.
- Sensitive, client or personal information may be entering AI tools.
- AI may be influencing decisions, external outputs or customer work.
- Ownership, policies and approved-tool rules may be unclear.

How it works
Understand current AI use
Identify material gaps and risks
Identify and prioritise proportionate controls
Practical, evidence-based governance
The approach is informed by current UK AI and data-protection guidance, ICO expectations, NIST AI risk-management principles and ISO/IEC 42001 concepts where proportionate. The focus is on practical controls for smaller organisations rather than unnecessary complexity.
We normally assess processes and use cases rather than asking for sensitive client, customer or employee data.
