AI Tool Risk Assessment | DaveOnCyber
AI Tool Risk Assessment

Approve AI Tools With Confidence. Not Blind Risk.

Independent security, privacy, and governance review before you roll out ChatGPT, Copilot, or any AI platform across your organisation.

What this assessment covers

Security & Privacy Review Controls, access model, data handling
Vendor & Contract Risk Trust centre, data rights, clause red flags
Governance Gap Summary Ownership, policy alignment, accountability
Go / No-Go Recommendation Clear executive decision support
Outcomes

What you walk away with.

Before approving any AI tool, you will have a clear, documented view of risk, governance gaps, and vendor exposure.

01
AI risk exposure visibility

A clear, honest view of where your organisation’s AI tool usage creates security and privacy risk right now — not after an incident.

02
Vendor and contract blind spots identified

Gaps in vendor agreements, data rights clauses, and contractual protections surfaced before you commit.

03
Governance gaps highlighted

A prioritised summary of where your AI governance posture is weakest — with practical remediation direction your team can act on.

04
Go / no-go decision support

Practical recommendations leadership can stand behind — including what needs to be resolved before approving rollout.

The Problem

Most AI rollouts happen without a security review.

Most organisations adopt AI tools first and discover the problems later. Only 8% business leaders knows AI risks before data has moved, contracts are signed and governance frameworks have been bypassed.

By then the risk is already embedded. A structured review before rollout is the single most effective control you can apply.

One AI tool incident can trigger regulatory scrutiny, insurance questions, and board conversations you are not prepared for.

What we consistently find
Data leakage through employee use Confidential prompts, customer data, and IP leaving your perimeter without authorisation
Vendor rights over your prompts and data Terms-of-service clauses granting vendors training rights over what your staff submit
Weak admin and access controls No centralised oversight of who is using which tools or what they are sharing
No ownership or accountability AI tools adopted without a clear owner, policy, or accountability structure
Hidden contract risks Liability gaps and data residency clauses that surface only after an incident

How It Works

Four steps. One clear verdict.

A structured engagement designed to fit your decision timeline. Not to slow it down.

01
Scoping call

30-minute call to understand the tool, the use case, your data environment, and any regulatory context.

02
Document review

We assess the vendor’s trust centre, security documentation, privacy policy, and contract terms.

03
Risk analysis

We map gaps across all four domains and produce a structured risk assessment against your regulatory context.

04
Delivery and briefing

Executive report delivered with a 60-minute walkthrough for your risk, legal, or IT leadership team.

Who This Is For

Built for organisations approaching an AI adoption decision.

Independent assessment is not optional if your team is evaluating an AI tool that will touch business data, customer records, or regulated information,

We work with CISOs, risk leads, IT directors, and legal counsel who need a defensible position before the tool goes live.

Microsoft Copilot rollout M365 data access, permissions, and governance controls

ChatGPT Enterprise evaluation Data handling, prompt privacy, vendor obligations

AI meeting and note-taking tools Recording consent, data storage, third-party access

AI customer support platforms Customer PII handling, model training clauses, liability

AI analytics and decision tools Data inputs, output risk, regulatory alignment
