The challenge

AI introduces new risks. Data privacy. Model reliability. Vendor lock-in. Decisions made by systems nobody fully understands. 

For large enterprises, there are teams and budgets to manage this. For SMEs, it's one more thing to worry about — with very little practical guidance designed for their scale. 

The result is that businesses either rush in without thinking it through, or they hold back entirely. Neither is good.

What we're doing

AI for Growth is building tools and guidance that help businesses approach AI adoption with appropriate care — without making security feel like a barrier. 

We want businesses to feel confident, not scared. That means practical, honest resources — not lengthy policy documents or checklists that assume an in-house compliance team.

The AI Security Checklist

A practical, interactive checklist that helps businesses understand their AI security posture — where they're exposed, what to do about it, and what good looks like. 

It's designed to be used by real businesses, not just compliance teams. Clear language. Actionable outputs. Adaptable for SMEs and larger organisations alike. 

The checklist includes a lightweight diagnostic and risk profiling tool — so businesses don't just get a list of things to worry about, they get a clear sense of where to focus first.

Sector-specific guidance

Different sectors face different risks. A retail business using AI for customer support has different considerations to a professional services firm using it for document analysis. 

We're building sector-specific guidance that reflects that — practical, honest, and grounded in real use cases from businesses that have already been through it.
