Shorts · Governance

Know what you hold, and who can open it.

Thirty seconds on the customer details in your cabinet, and how we keep them in order as AI comes in.

What the short says

  1. Open the cabinet, and out come your customers’ details.
  2. Some of it is yours, and some you look after for other people.
  3. And over the years, plenty of people have been given a login.
  4. We map what you hold, where it lives, and who can open it.
  5. New AI tools come in through one door, on a short lead.
  6. Each one has someone accountable, who knows what it does, and can put it right.
  7. We are Subversive. Keeping your data and AI in order, so you can grow.

The problem

What goes wrong

Customer details pile up over the years: some of them yours, some held for other people. Logins get handed out and never taken back. Then a new AI tool arrives, and nobody can say what it can see.

What we do

How we fix it

We map what you hold, where it lives and who can open it. New AI tools come in through one door, each with a short list of what it may touch. Each one has a named person who knows what it does and can put it right.

What you get

  • The map

    What you hold, where it lives, and who can open it.

  • One door for new tools

    A short check before anything new is switched on.

  • A name on every tool

    Someone accountable, who knows what it does and can put it right.

  • The old logins

    A list of who still has access, to keep or close.

What it costs

£950 a day.

For small and medium businesses in the South West, excluding VAT.

Start with a single day, a workshop or a discovery day, and keep the written notes whatever you decide next. Or keep us on: two days a month at least, three months to begin, then month by month.
