Know your data is under your control before it becomes your liability.
Most organisations cannot say with confidence where all their data lives, who can access it, or whether it is governed well enough for compliance, let alone AI. This diagnostic scores your current maturity across five dimensions and delivers a PDF report with practical next steps.
No sign-up required
Tailor for your sector
Defence & Public Sector pressure
Organisations in the defence supply chain handle technical and commercial data that may be subject to official handling requirements, making visibility and access governance business-critical.
Risk example
Technical drawings or contract documents accessible by contractors after engagement end; data held outside approved handling frameworks.
What is assessed
Five control areas.
Likely operational impact
Contract termination, procurement exclusion, or breach of official data handling requirements.
What it finds
The gaps this diagnostic is built to surface.
- Data you cannot find: files, records and databases spread across locations that have never been properly inventoried.
- Access that was never revoked: former staff, old integrations and third-party connections that still carry live credentials.
- Retention policies that exist in documents but are not enforced by any technical control.
- Compliance gaps that surface only during a subject access request, audit, or incident.
- AI initiatives blocked or compromised by data quality issues that were not visible until the project began.
- Shadow data: information held in personal email, shared drives, or collaboration tools outside any governance framework.
What you receive

- Scored maturity profile across five data control domains

What organisations find
“We had no idea how many systems were still holding data from employees who had left years ago. The assessment made that visible for the first time and gave us a practical plan to address it.”
