AI Risk & Compliance Advisory

Understand where your AI creates risk, and what the rules that apply to you require.

What is AI risk and compliance advisory?

AI risk and compliance advisory assesses where your use of AI creates risk, classifies your AI systems against the regulations that may apply, and builds a responsible-AI program proportionate to your exposure.

Regulators, customers and boards are converging on the same expectations: know what AI you use, assess its impact, and keep a person accountable for it.

This advisory work turns those expectations into a plan that fits how you actually use AI. We assess where AI creates risk, classify systems against the EU AI Act and Canadian guidance, and set up clear ownership, risk-based tiering, human-oversight controls and monitoring that keeps pace as your use of AI and the rules both change.

Who needs it?

  • A company whose AI systems or outputs are used in the EU
  • An organization in a regulated sector issuing guidance on AI
  • A business deciding which AI uses are acceptable and which are not
  • Leadership that has to explain AI risk to a board or regulator

What problems does it address?

  • Not knowing whether the EU AI Act or sector guidance applies to you
  • AI used in decisions about customers or staff with no human oversight
  • No acceptable-use policy for AI
  • AI vendors selected without any risk review

Advisory

  • AI policy and acceptable-use development
  • AI system risk and impact assessments
  • Responsible-AI program design and operating model
  • AI vendor and third-party due diligence
  • Data governance, privacy and bias risk review

Regulatory readiness

  • Canadian and sector-specific AI guidance alignment
  • Transparency, disclosure and human-oversight controls

What happens afterward?

The work continues on the scope and cadence you agreed. Findings that need fixing can move to Remediation Guidance & Retesting, and a fresh assessment can check progress.

How the engagement works

  1. Free consultation

    A 45-minute call with a senior consultant about your situation. It is a conversation, not an assessment. You leave with a recommended next step.

  2. Agree the scope

    What we cover, how often and how much time, agreed in writing up front.

  3. Ongoing work

    The same senior consultant works with you each time, so you are not re-explaining your environment.

  4. Reporting

    Regular reporting written for leadership, and useful to an auditor or insurer who asks how security is handled.

Questions about AI Risk & Compliance Advisory

Does the EU AI Act apply to a Canadian company?
It can. Like the GDPR, the EU AI Act reaches beyond the EU. If your AI systems or their outputs are used in the EU, obligations may apply. We help you determine your exposure and classify your systems by risk.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. The first call is a free 45-minute working session with a senior consultant. It is a conversation about your situation, not an assessment. You leave with a recommended next step and an idea of the cost, whether or not you hire us.
Who does the work?
The senior consultant who scopes the engagement is the person who does the work. It is not handed to a junior team.
Will you work with our IT provider?
Yes. Your provider runs the systems. We provide independent security review, design and advice, and findings are written so your provider can act on them.
