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.

Tailor for your sector
Education & Membership pressure
Education organisations hold data on students, staff, and families across multiple platforms, including legacy systems, third-party SaaS, and shared drives, often without a current inventory.
Risk example
Student data retained beyond statutory periods; safeguarding records spread across disconnected systems with no central audit trail.
What is assessed
Five control areas.
Likely operational impact
Ofsted, DfE, or ICO scrutiny; safeguarding risk from inaccessible records; GDPR subject access requests that cannot be fulfilled.
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
From the existing diagnostic engine.
- Scored maturity profile across five data control domains

- Clear next steps without a sales call required
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.”
