The 2026 Corporate AI Shield

Protecting organisations from legal, financial and reputational AI risk - without stopping innovation

AI is already being used in your organisation.

Whether you approved it or not.

Your staff are using AI to:

draft emails
summarise documents
create marketing content
speed up decisions

Often without policies, oversight, or clarity about what’s safe.

That creates real risk — not in theory, but in law.

Why this matters now

AI is no longer “experimental” in the eyes of regulators.

In the UK:

Organisations are legally responsible for AI-assisted decisions
“The system did it” is not a defence
Poor AI use can trigger:
- data protection breaches
- discrimination claims
- contractual liability
- reputational damage

Most organisations don’t have a technology problem.

They have a governance and behaviour problem.

Who this training is for

This programme is designed for organisations where AI use affects real people, real data and real decisions, including:

Senior leadership teams
HR and People leaders
IT and cybersecurity teams
Legal, compliance and risk roles
Marketing and communications teams
Operations and finance leaders

It is especially relevant for:

organisations without a clear AI policy
organisations where staff are already using AI “quietly”
organisations concerned about compliance, audits or future regulation

What you’ll get:

A clear, defensible AI governance framework that protects your organisation — and evidence to prove it works.

This isn't theoretical empathy. This is solidarity.

A clear, defensible AI governance framework that protects your organisation - and evidence to prove it works.

What happens during the day

We start with a Shadow AI Audit:

anonymous staff responses
real data about how AI is actually used
no assumptions, no blame

You see your real risk profile, not a generic one.

Start the Shadow AI Audit

Module 1: The Horror Stories

You learn:

Real cases (Air Canada, Samsung, recruitment bias, deepfake fraud)
Why the problem wasn’t “AI” — it was lack of oversight
Where financial, legal and reputational risk really comes from
Clear distinction between safe use and dangerous use

You leave knowing:

what went wrong
why it went wrong
how to prevent it in your organisation

Module 2: The Human Factor

Why smart, capable people still take AI risks:

time pressure
efficiency demands
unclear rules
fear of looking slow

We cover:

how risky behaviour actually happens
how managers should respond (with scripts, not blame)
how to resolve internal conflicts between teams
how bias enters AI systems — and how to spot it

This module focuses on real behaviour, not ideal behaviour.

Module 3: The Legal Toolkit

You learn:

what UK law actually requires
when human review is mandatory
who owns AI-generated content
where chatbot answers become legal promises

You build, live:

an AI Acceptable Use Policy
manager decision tools
clear “Green Lane / Red Line” rules

Module 4: Future-Proof Governance

This is where training becomes action.

You leave with:

a functioning AI Steering Committee model
first-meeting agenda and Terms of Reference
a 30-day implementation plan with owners and deadlines
a 90-day measurement framework
board-ready reporting templates

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this training anti-AI or does it block innovation?
No. The training is explicitly designed to enable safe and responsible AI use. We define a “Green Lane” of encouraged AI practices and clear red lines for risk.

Is this training relevant if we already use Microsoft Copilot / approved tools?
Yes. Approved tools reduce risk, but they don’t remove legal, behavioural, or governance obligations. The training focuses on how people use tools, not just which tools are approved.

Does this training create legal liability if issues are uncovered?
No. The Shadow AI Audit is anonymous and diagnostic. Its purpose is risk awareness and governance improvement, not fault-finding or disciplinary action.

Is this training UK-specific?
Yes. It is grounded in UK law and guidance, including the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, GDPR, Equality Act 2010, and UK regulator expectations.

Who should attend?
This training is designed for mixed groups: leadership, HR, IT, legal, operations, marketing, and managers. AI risk cannot be managed by one function alone.

Will we leave with practical outputs, or just knowledge?
You leave with drafted policies, governance templates, decision frameworks, and a 30-day implementation plan — not just slides.

How do we prove the training worked?
We use a before-and-after measurement model, including a repeat Shadow AI Audit at 90 days, KPIs, and a board-ready reporting pack.

Do you offer ongoing support after the training?
Yes. Organisations can opt into the Guardian Compliance Subscription, which provides quarterly policy updates, governance support, and expert guidance.
