AI Snapshot Review
A focused assessment of 2–3 AI systems with core security and governance checks. Get a clear risk picture and prioritized next steps in about two weeks.
What is an AI Snapshot Review?
A fixed-scope, two-week assessment for 2–3 AI systems of your choice. We perform a system inventory and risk mapping, run core security and governance checks, and deliver an executive summary with findings and prioritized recommendations—enough to decide what to harden first or whether to step up to a Full AI Risk Review when you need certification or compliance evidence.
Who this is for
Startups and small teams
You have a handful of AI systems and need a clear risk picture without the cost or timeline of a full review.
First-time AI risk assessment
You're evaluating AI risk for the first time and want evidence-backed findings and prioritized next steps.
Considering a Full Review later
You want a lighter first step before committing to a Full AI Risk Review and certification.
Need clarity without certification
Your goal is internal visibility and prioritization—what to fix first—not yet procurement or compliance evidence.
What makes this different
Snapshot identifies risk. Full Review validates controls, tests resilience, and certifies posture.
The Snapshot Review answers
- - Where are our biggest risks across 2–3 systems?
- - What should we fix first, and how severe is it?
- - Do we have the basics in place before a deeper review?
The Full AI Risk Review answers
- ✓ Can we pass vendor security reviews?
- ✓ Do we have a defensible certificate for boards or regulators?
- ✓ Are we ready for adversarial testing and compliance scrutiny?

What's the difference between Snapshot and Full Review?
Snapshot covers 2–3 systems with limited data review and core security and governance checks. The Full Review covers all AI systems, full security testing (including prompt injection and access control), compliance readiness scoring, a remediation roadmap, and an AI Risk Certificate.
How long does it take?
Typically 2 weeks from kickoff to final report. Timeline can shift slightly depending on your availability for interviews and access.
What do we get at the end?
An executive summary report with system inventory, risk mapping, findings, and prioritized recommendations. Optional 30-minute results walkthrough.
Can we use this for procurement or compliance?
Snapshot is not a certification and doesn't include a formal certificate. It's best for internal risk visibility and planning. For procurement or compliance evidence, the Full AI Risk Review is the right fit.
