Step 01 · Initial Scoping

Tell Saber where you operate.

Four inputs are all we need. As you switch industry, volume or region, the engine below re-resolves your applicable regulations and risk classification, live.

Step 02 · Questionnaire Generation

Your assessment, written for you.

Saber compiles a question set from your regulatory surface, six governance dimensions, weighted for in , and assigns each block to the department that actually owns the answer.

Step 03 · Distribution & Collection

Watch the organisation answer.

Saber dispatches each questionnaire to its department, tracks completion in real time, nudges stragglers, then consolidates every response into a single evidence pack before analysis.

The verdict
Governance is emerging but unaudited. Strong security instincts, undermined by absent model-risk discipline and no formal accountability chain.

Based on 47 stakeholder responses mapped against 12 regulatory instruments, peers, and the Saber control library (147 controls).

    AI estate and spend

    The tools you declared, the risk each one carries, and how your spend compares.

    Declared estate only. A Saber discovery scan typically surfaces 15 to 25 percent more AI in active use than declared, and every undeclared tool is an ungoverned one.

    Audit and Saber certification

    When the roadmap lands, an independent Saber audit verifies it. Pass, and you are Saber Certified.
