AI Governance Services
Most organisations don’t have full visibility of the AI tools their people are using, or what they are being used for. Decisions are being made, content is being generated, and data is being shared, often informally, often without oversight, and sometimes without leadership’s knowledge. We help you understand what’s actually happening before you try to govern it.
Our AI governance assessments are designed as a practical starting point. They help identify your current AI-related risks, gaps and priorities, then give you a clear basis for proportionate improvements, documentation, staff awareness and ongoing governance.
All assessments are expert-reviewed, with findings delivered in clear, plain language so they can be understood by non-technical teams, managers and trustees.
Designed for organisations using or considering AI that need a clearer view of how AI is being used, where the risks sit, and what governance is needed. We provide practical support to improve oversight, accountability, policy, risk management and compliance, with proportionate controls that fit the organisation rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
Surface AI risks, strengthen governance, prepare for what’s next
Our assessment tiers are designed as a progression. Each one builds on the last, adding greater depth, verification and a clearer evidence base. Many clients start with the free AI Governance Health Check, so they can understand their current position and make an informed decision about what to do next.

AI Governance Health Check + Snapshot Report
Start Here — No Cost, No Commitment
Get a clear, colour-coded overview of your organisation’s current AI governance arrangements.
This health check looks at key areas including AI use and visibility, policy, accountability, oversight, risk management, provider governance, data protection and relevant regulatory considerations.
You’ll receive a Red/Amber/Green report showing:
- where governance arrangements appear stronger;
- where gaps or weaknesses may need attention;
- practical areas to prioritise next; and
- where your answers indicate that further specialist review or regulatory clarification may be appropriate.
After you receive your report, you can book a free 30-minute briefing to go through the results.
It is designed as an initial governance health check, not a legal opinion or formal compliance assessment.
No obligation. No sales call attached.
Ideal for: Any organisation using AI tools that hasn’t yet taken stock of the governance arrangements around them.

Expert-Reviewed Full Report
Your AI Governance Health Check, Professionally Assessed, Detailed Report
Turn your health check into a detailed, expert-reviewed assessment of your AI governance arrangements.
We explain the findings, identify the most important gaps and risks, highlight areas of stronger practice, and set out practical, prioritised actions for improvement. Where your answers raise issues requiring further evidence, specialist input or regulatory clarification, these are clearly identified rather than treated as definitive legal conclusions.
Reviewed by an AI governance practitioner before release, the report gives boards and senior leaders a structured baseline for decision-making, remediation and ongoing governance improvement.
At this stage the report reflects your own inputs — it hasn’t yet been tested against your documents or verified through follow-up. It’s the right starting point, not the final word.
Ideal for: Organisations that need something structured and professionally reviewed to act on or present internally. Builds directly on the free health check, so do that first, and then let us know you’d like the full report.

Governance & Policy Review
Tested Against Your Documents and Reality
Everything in the full report, plus a structured review of up to three of your documents, policies, procedures, contracts, or similar, and a targeted follow-up briefing session. The briefing and document review feed directly back into an enhanced report, making it materially more complete and reliable than the £449 version.
Deliberately non-technical, designed to be understood and acted on by non-specialists.
Ideal for: Ideal for organisations already using AI, piloting new tools, embedding AI into day-to-day workflows or planning wider adoption, and that need a credible, board-ready view of their governance, policy, risk and oversight position.
£3,490
Comprehensive Review
Fully Evidenced, Independently Verified
Our most thorough tier. In addition to everything in the Governance & Policy Review, we conduct a staff survey, build an AI use register, carry out structured due diligence on up to three AI tools currently in use or under consideration, and hold a verification briefing. This process is specifically designed to surface shadow AI use; tools adopted informally or without central oversight. The result is a fully evidenced assessment that carries a level of credibility the earlier tiers, by design, cannot.
The most complete picture we can give you, and the most complete picture you can present to others.
Ideal for: Organisations preparing for a major contract tender, handling sensitive data at scale, concerned about AI use, responding to an AI-related incident, or needing a thorough, defensible account of their current position.

AI Governance Implementation Services
Choose how far you want us to take it
Anyone can generate an AI policy in an afternoon. The value is in knowing what AI your people are really using, proving your controls work, and having someone independent say so. Pick the level of governance you need, then choose how much of the work you want us to do.
The SCUK assurance ladder
Build gets you to Assessed. Implement gets you to Controlled. Maintain is how you reach Verified and stay Assured, because we check the controls with evidence and review them again each year.
Guide prices, excluding VAT (which may or may not apply). The final price depends on the size of your organisation and how many AI tools and uses we find. Work is carried out by SCUK Consulting as an independent assessment, not an accredited certification.
What a Client Journey Looks Like
“The review moved them from uncertainty to control. They gained visibility of how AI was being used and for what, agreed where approval was needed, introduced clearer staff guidance, and the overall framework gave leaders effective oversight. Twelve months later, AI was no longer something happening around the edges, it was something they could govern, explain, and use to improve business functions.”
We can be with you at every stage of that journey, or just one, if that’s what you need.
