Prove your AI governance.
Before a regulator asks.

AI governance software keeps a register of every AI system an organisation runs, records who owns each one and what it does, and measures each against the obligations that apply to it. CXO Ready scores every system against the EU AI Act, UK GDPR and ISO 42001, then turns the gaps into an owned action plan with evidence attached.

A spreadsheet records what someone typed. CXO Ready scores each system from the evidence it actually carries — legal basis, DPIA, human oversight, bias and drift controls, kill-switch, security posture — so the score reflects what has been documented rather than what was self-declared. It also tracks change over time, assigns owners, and exports audit-ready evidence per requirement.

No, and no tool can. CXO Ready shows you where you stand, what is missing and who needs to fix it, with the evidence to demonstrate it. Compliance remains your organisation’s responsibility, and our scores are indicative rather than a legal opinion. What we give you is the register, the measurement and the proof — the things you would otherwise assemble by hand before an audit.

General GRC platforms were not built for AI-specific obligations: risk classification under the EU AI Act, model drift, human oversight, shadow AI, or per-system DPIA status. CXO Ready covers that layer specifically, and exports evidence you can feed into the GRC process you already run.

Shadow AI is any AI tool staff use that has not been sanctioned or recorded — typically a subscription bought on a card, or a free assistant handling real customer data. CXO Ready surfaces it with short surveys sent across the business, so tools appear in your register before they appear in an incident.

Setup takes about five minutes and the free trial runs for seven days with no card required. Most organisations have their first systems inventoried and scored on day one; a full estate depends on how many teams you need to survey.

Plans run from free for a single AI system up to £500 a month for 200 systems, with Starter at £50, Professional at £150 and Business at £300. Every paid plan includes unlimited users, so cost scales with the size of your AI estate rather than headcount.

The people accountable when someone asks whether your AI is under control: CIOs and CTOs who need estate visibility, risk officers who need AI risk quantified, general counsel who need compliance evidence, and CFOs tracking return on AI investment. It is built for business use in regulated and enterprise organisations across the UK and EU.

The Act entered into force on 1 August 2024 and applies in stages. Prohibited practices and AI literacy duties applied from 2 February 2025, general-purpose AI model obligations from 2 August 2025, and on 2 August 2026 the Act became generally applicable, with enforcement by the AI Office and national authorities. Later obligations continue to phase in, and the timetable has been amended since publication, so check the European Commission's pages for current dates.

Fines are tiered. The heaviest apply to prohibited practices, then to breaches of obligations for high-risk systems and general-purpose AI models, with lower amounts for supplying incorrect or misleading information to authorities. The exact figures are set in the Act itself; the practical point is that penalties are turnover-linked, so they scale with the size of the business rather than the size of the AI system.

In practice, yes. Almost every obligation starts from knowing which AI systems you operate and who is accountable for each: risk classification, human oversight, transparency, incident reporting, and the record-keeping behind them. An organisation that cannot list its AI systems cannot evidence anything else, which is why an inventory is the first thing CXO Ready builds.
