AI & Algorithmic Risk Assessments

Algorithmic Risk Assessments

Structured scrutiny for complex systems.

We assess algorithmic and AI systems through the lens of legality, fairness, and human impact — from high-stakes models to everyday automation.

Whether you're developing in-house, deploying third-party tools, or preparing for scrutiny under UK GDPR, the Online Safety Act, Equality Act, Data Protection Act, or global AI regulations, we bring legal rigour, technical fluency, and behavioural insight. We don’t just audit systems —

We interrogate their logic, trace their consequences, and anticipate the questions regulators, courts, or critics will ask next.

What We Assess

Systems in Context

We examine AI and algorithmic systems as both technical processes and decision-making architectures that have legal and social impacts.

We assess what a system is built to do, what it does, and who it affects — including data sources, training inputs, personalisation, interfaces, and embedded risks like bias, opacity, or loss of autonomy.

Our analysis maps exposure under UK and EU frameworks (AI Act, UK GDPR, Online Safety Act, DSA), and traces how risk moves through the system. We don’t audit features in isolation —

We assess how systems behave in the real world and what they demand from the people they govern.

What We Deliver

Clarity, evidence, and accountability — built into every assessment

We produce risk assessments that are more than regulatory paperwork. Each output is tailored to your system’s technical structure, legal obligations, and organisational context, with clear documentation, sharp analysis, and actionable insight.

Deliverables typically include:

A full written report detailing system function, risk exposure, and legal obligations
An annotated risk matrix covering severity, likelihood, and regulatory relevance
Targeted recommendations for mitigation, redesign, or internal governance

We don’t produce theoretical reviews. We deliver structured, defensible assessments designed for real-world scrutiny and strategic decision-making.

Who this is for

Real-World Impact. Real Accountability.

We support organisations that design, procure, or rely on algorithmic systems, mainly where decisions affect rights, access, or accountability.

Who we work with:

Tech companies deploying high-risk AI or automation
Public bodies using algorithms in health, education, policing, or welfare
Legal, compliance, and ethics teams preparing for the AI Act or data protection regulator scrutiny
Procurement teams assessing systems for fairness, transparency, and risk.

If your system profiles, prioritises, or excludes people —
Our job is to ask the questions it wasn’t built to answer.

Engagement Models

Flexible, System-Specific Support

Our approach adapts to your system’s architecture, scope, and regulatory exposure. From one-off audits to embedded advisory roles, we align with your capacity and compliance needs.

We offer:

Standalone assessments of specific models or systems
Portfolio-wide reviews across use cases or products
Regulatory readiness for the AI Act, UK GDPR, and more
Independent input for ethics boards, procurement, or disclosures
