Service Sheet 01 · AI Usage & Exposure Diagnostic

Your team is actively using AI. But can you scale with AI and stay in control?

A short, conversation led assessment of how AI is really being used across your business, where it exposes you, and what to do next. So you have the answer before an investor or a client asks for it.

43%
of breached organisations had an incident involving Shadow AI, tools adopted without oversight. Double the year before.
92%
of organisations whose AI tools were attacked had not properly controlled access to them.

What the diagnostic does

01 · SEE IT

What's in use

Every AI tool your people actually use, including the ones leadership doesn't know about.

02 · OWN IT

Who's accountable

A named owner for every tool and use case, and a clear view of where there is none.

03 · SCORE IT

How exposed you are

A clear score and an A to D grade a founder or board can read at a glance and track over time.

04 · FIX IT

What to do next

Prioritised actions across three time horizons, to improve your score.

Two versions — choose the depth you need

Which one fits depends on where your business is. We'll agree this together in a short scoping call before anything starts.

Lite
Scored / 20

How exposed are we to potential AI harm? Combined with a simple documentation check.

Plus
Scored / 40

Adds: how well set up are we to grow with AI? Documentation reviewed for fitness.

Who it's for

Scaling SMEs

Actively using a range of AI tools, without an established IT or data security function overseeing them.

Founders, COOs and board members

Who want a clear view of how AI is used, and who owns it.

Who you'll be working with

Murray Brown
Founder, MJB Consulting

I spent 20+ years at JPMorgan as a COO, product executive and transformation leader, adopting new technology while managing risk and regulation. Now I help UK growing businesses with the pressure points growth hides.

AI is the gold rush of our times. I run every diagnostic myself, drawing the answers out of your people and turning them into action.

What you get

One page your board can read in two minutes. Every diagnostic ends with an Assessment Summary Dashboard: your score, your band, the risks that matter most, and a plan to close them. Ready for a board pack or an investor data room as it is.

18 / 40 · 45% — governance foundations in place, material gaps
