The market we serve
Regulated firms are using AI that was never approved, assessed or recorded.
Staff across professional firms have adopted AI tools on their own initiative, often with client-confidential material. Most firms cannot say which tools are in use, what data reaches them, or who checked the output.
That is a supervision problem rather than a technology one, and supervision is something these firms are required to evidence to their regulator, their insurer and their clients. Our work is to close that gap.
Services
Two advisory practices, trading now.
AI Advisory
Strategy, governance and adoption for regulated firms: assessing where AI can be used safely, writing the governance that permits it, and training staff to work within it.
- Governance and compliance frameworks

- Policy, training and board reporting
Cloud Advisory
Advice on where client data sits and who processes it, including migration to European or UK-hosted alternatives where jurisdiction is the issue. Vendor-neutral.
- Data residency review
- Processor and sub-processor mapping
- Migration scoping
Our product
Shadow Mapper
Shadow Mapper identifies unapproved AI tool use across a professional firm's systems, scores what it finds against that firm's regulatory obligations, and produces a written AI Governance Report the firm can put in front of its regulator, auditor or insurer.
The assessment is disclosed to staff and works from network metadata alone. It is a governance exercise, not employee monitoring, which is what makes it acceptable to the partners of a professional firm.
It is delivered both directly and through compliance consultancies, managed IT providers and outsourced DPOs to their own client bases.
Metadata only. No content interception, no keystroke logging, no screen capture.
Product and technical documentation available on request.

What an assessment actually looks like.
The walkthrough below uses a fictional law firm to show the shape of what you receive when Shadow Mapper runs: what is found, how it is scored against your obligations, and the report you can hand to your regulator.

A sample of the tool by tool view.
Harcourt & Vale LLP
Top priority: client meeting recordings held on US servers with no lawful transfer basis.
This is the document. Built to be handed to a regulator, an insurer, or a client running due diligence on the firm, not a dashboard only your IT team can read.
Harcourt & Vale LLP is a fictional firm. The tools shown are illustrative categories, not named products or vendors. Figures and findings are examples, not real vendor or client data.
