The AI Readiness Audit
Before your organization adopts AI, someone should check whether the foundation can hold it. That is the audit.
01The problem
Vendors are selling AI into organizations that have never inventoried what they already run. The result is automation stacked on unpatched systems, unclear data ownership, and no policy for who approves what. That is how incidents happen — and for a public organization, an incident is a news story.
02What the audit does
A fixed-scope engagement: inventory of systems and data flows, review of access and MFA coverage, backup and restore verification, vendor exposure, and an AI-use policy baseline. You get a plain-English report a council or a board can actually read, with a prioritized fix list — what is urgent, what can wait, what to budget.
03Who runs it
Mr. Chairman — an AWS-certified practitioner who serves as acting CTO for a municipality in the St. Louis metro and covers cybersecurity and AI governance weekly on The Unlikely Tech Executive. The audit is the same discipline applied to your organization.
