AI readiness, defined

What is AI readiness?

AI readiness is whether your business can use AI tools without exposing data, weakening access controls or scaling unmanaged risk. It comes down to the foundations underneath the tool: your data, access, devices, governance and ownership.

Data

Where your sensitive information actually lives.

Access

Who can reach it, and whether anyone checks.

Devices

Where your people are really using AI.

Governance

The rules that let AI scale safely.

Ownership

Someone accountable for getting it right.

What your score measures

AI inherits everything. Including your gaps.

Foundation 01

Data and access

AI tools are only ever as safe as the data and access controls sitting underneath them.

Looks at: where sensitive data lives, and who can reach it.

Foundation 02

Devices and usage

Where and how your people access AI tools matters as much as which tools they use.

Looks at: managed devices, and which AI tools are in play.

Foundation 03

Governance and policy

Governance isn’t what slows AI down. It’s what lets you scale it with confidence.

Looks at: an agreed AI position, and visibility of sensitive data.

Foundation 04

Strategic readiness

Knowing where AI should add value, and who owns getting there, is what turns a pilot into a program.

Looks at: prioritised use cases, and a named owner.

What your score means

Starting Out, On the Path, or Frontier Ready. Know exactly where you stand.

Starting OutScore 0 to 8

Significant gaps to address

Your result suggests there are gaps across areas such as access, data or governance that could create risk as AI adoption grows. The next step is to understand exactly where those gaps exist before they become a bigger problem.

On the PathScore 9 to 16

Foundations are there, but there are gaps

You have some of the right foundations in place, but there may still be configuration or governance gaps that become more important as AI use scales. An evidence-based assessment gives you a clear view of what to prioritise next.

Frontier ReadyScore 17 to 24

Strong foundation, now validate it

Your organisation appears to have a good foundation for AI adoption. Before you scale further, validate that your environment, permissions and controls are as ready as your policies and processes suggest.
