From policy to practice: navigating the AI landscape

AI adoption isn’t just about technology—it’s about building the right foundations. From developing robust internal policies to ensuring your systems operate responsibly, success starts with a clear framework for how AI is used across your organisation.

Bridge the gap between innovation and compliance

AI can transform how you work, but without proper safeguards, it can also introduce risk. Many organisations struggle to align innovation with evolving regulations and data protection requirements, slowing down progress and creating uncertainty.

The service

BH Consulting acts as your trusted partner throughout your AI journey. Our services encompass:

  • AI Literacy Training: The EU AI Act mandates that organisations ensure their staff have a sufficient level of AI literacy. This involves providing training to help employees understand how AI systems work, their potential risks and benefits, and how to use them responsibly. The aim of our training is to equip individuals with the knowledge to make informed decisions about AI and elicit compliance with the Act.
  • AI Security Framework: Incorporating appropriate risk management and advising on the secure frameworks to embed when adopting AI, such as ENISA, Google, AWS, Azure etc.
  • Policy Development: We collaborate with you to craft comprehensive internal policies that govern responsible AI development, use, and governance within your organisation.
  • Implementation Strategy: We guide you in developing a clear and scalable implementation strategy that integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows and infrastructure.
  • Data Protection Expertise: Our team of specialists provides in-depth guidance on data protection for AI applications. We conduct thorough DPIAs tailored specifically to AI, addressing:
    • Data Collection, Storage, and Use: We meticulously detail
      how you will collect, store, and utilise data for your AI processes. This includes the volume, variety, and sensitivity of the data involved.
    • Internal Processes and Governance: We analyse internal
      processes and governance structures to ensure responsible
      data handling for AI development and deployment.
    • Risk of Bias and Representational Harms: We evaluate the
      potential for bias within your AI models and how they might lead to representational harms, such as stereotyping or denigration of certain groups.
    • Less Risky Alternatives: We explore and document less risky alternatives to AI systems, if any exist, that could achieve the same objectives. This ensures you’re implementing the most responsible approach.
  • Compliance Support: We stay up-to-date on evolving data privacy regulations and help you ensure your AI implementations comply with relevant data protection laws.

Testimonials

“We engaged the services of BH Consulting in September to act as our DPO. They have expertly guided us through our GDPR journey, helping us to finalise our requirements to meet the GDPR standards. They have done this in a professional manner all the while aware of our limited time resources. Our DPO Annemarie, understands the way in which we work and has completely adapted her approach to suit our needs. I couldn’t recommend Annemarie and the team at BH consulting highly enough.”

“We found BH Consulting to be a huge help in achieving our ISO 27001 certification as they put so much structure on the process and helped us along every step of the way. Their knowledge and guidance the whole way along the journey was reassuring and really made the process seamless and easy to follow and understand. They were there to keep us accountable and ensure we were progressing at our bi-weekly meetings. We would definitely recommend BH Consulting to any organisation thinking of going for ISO 27001 certification and so quickly and cost effectively was a massive relief. The expertise BH Consulting provided to ensure we have a robust GDPR compliance framework in place was great. We would have no hesitation recommending BH Consulting to others in a similar position.”

“Make-A-Wish Ireland has been working with BH Consulting for three years and have found them to be incredibly supportive. GDPR can be extremely challenging and yet, for an organisation like ours, it is critical to be on top of everything at all times as we deal with such highly sensitive data. The support we have been given is practical, logical, and most importantly calming. They have demystified the complexities and have done repeated training with our team in order for everyone to be comfortable with all aspects. We would highly recommend any company to work with BH Consulting. A special thanks must go to Tracy Elliott who has worked with us since the start.”
