Staff AI use is now part of everyday work
Your team may be using AI tools to draft emails, summarise notes, prepare internal documents, research topics, check wording, or support customer-facing work.
That creates practical questions:
What can staff use AI for?
What information must stay out of AI tools?
When should AI output be reviewed?
When does a manager need to approve use?
Are the rules written down clearly enough for staff to follow?
The risk check helps you identify where those rules may be unclear.
How it works
1. Answer a few multiple-choice questions
The check asks how staff use AI, whether clear rules exist, and where review or approval may be needed.
2. Receive your risk summary
Shortly after completing the check, you’ll receive your result by email, including your practical risk level, what it means for your business, the main AI-use rule gaps to review, and recommended actions.
3. Decide your next step
Your summary will include practical next steps for putting clearer staff AI-use rules in place.
Why this matters now
UK guidance on AI and automated decision-making is changing.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) consultation on updated automated decision-making guidance ran from 31 March to 29 May 2026, and work is underway on a statutory AI and automated decision-making code of practice.
The direction is clear: where AI tools influence decisions involving customers, employees, applicants, or client work, businesses should not rely on informal staff habits or unchecked AI outputs. They need clear internal rules, proper review, and genuine oversight.
Who this is for
For small businesses whose staff may already be using AI tools.
This check is designed for owners and managers who want a clearer view of whether staff need stronger rules around AI use — including what can be entered into AI tools, when AI output needs review, and when manager approval is needed.
What it checks
The check looks at practical AI-use risks inside your business.
It asks about:
how staff are using AI tools;
whether business or customer information may be entered into AI tools;
whether public AI tools are allowed, restricted, or unclear;
whether AI outputs are reviewed before external use;
whether manager approval is required for higher-risk use;
whether written staff rules exist.
No confidential business information is required.
What you’ll get
You’ll receive a simple AI-use risk summary by email.
Your result will indicate whether your business appears to have low, moderate, or high exposure to internal AI-use risks.
You’ll also receive a short explanation of the main gaps your answers suggest, plus practical next steps for putting clearer AI-use rules in place.
Is this really free?
Yes. The Sarentix AI-Use Risk Check for Small Businesses is free.
There is no obligation to buy anything. You’ll receive a short risk summary and practical next steps.
If your result suggests your business may benefit from clearer written AI-use rules, we may also point you to relevant Sarentix resources that could help. We use the details you provide to send your risk-check result and related Sarentix follow-up. We do not sell your details or share them with third parties for marketing.
What this is not
This is not legal advice, a compliance audit, or a security assessment.
It does not review your systems, inspect staff activity, assess specific AI tools, or certify that your business is compliant with any specific law or standard.
It is a practical self-check to help small businesses identify whether staff AI use may need clearer internal rules.
