E EthiqAI Assessment
Board assurance for AI

Lead with Trust. Innovate with Integrity.

One NORTH assessment in. Everything your board needs to govern AI with confidence out — a governance scorecard, a risk and trust report, an implementation roadmap and a complete Board Assurance Pack.

12%of organisations across G7 countries have named owners for their AI systems (OECD)
78%of employees use unapproved “shadow” AI tools at work
77%of small and medium businesses have no formal AI governance
89%of leaders say ethical AI is a competitive advantage
Built for the boardroom

Five questions a board actually asks

Most AI assessments produce a score. A board needs answers it can act on and minute.

01Where are we today? A NORTH scorecard and maturity stage.
02What are our biggest risks? A rated risk register, not a list of worries.
03Are we regulation-ready? Readiness against the regulations that apply to you.
04What do we do next? A roadmap over 30, 60, 90 days and beyond.
05Who is accountable? Named roles, and the gaps where none exist.

What you get

Four deliverables from one assessment

  • NORTH AI Governance Assessment Report — how well you govern AI

And the paperwork

Your policy set, personalised

Every assessment generates the governance documents an organisation actually needs — policy, standards, registers and procedures — personalised to your organisation and your findings.

  • Document control, numbered clauses, RACI and sign-off blocks
  • Right-sized for a small or medium business
  • Yours to download, adapt and adopt after legal review
What this is not

Readiness, not a compliance verdict

This platform does not audit you and does not certify you. It reports where you stand, what your exposure looks like, and how ready you are for the regulations that apply to you — so you can act before someone else assesses you. Scoring is fully deterministic: no AI model reads your answers, and nothing leaves the platform.

Grounded, not generic

Every question has a source

The 99 questions are mined from Dr Ego Obi's Ethical AI Leadership Model — the Governance Policy, Ethical AI Checklist, Shadow AI Audit Process, Safe Experimentation Framework, Brand Trust Framework, AI Risk Management Framework, AI Bias and the Session 1, Session 2 and Session 3 certification transcripts — carrying the severity marker wherever the source document assigned one. Every item cites where it came from.
