AI is already inside small businesses. The question is whether it is being governed.
The Small Business AI Governance Manual is a practical implementation guide for organisations that want to use artificial intelligence responsibly without becoming buried in unnecessary bureaucracy.
Written specifically for small and medium-sized organisations, the manual turns AI governance principles into practical controls that can be understood, implemented and maintained in the real world.
It guides readers through identifying where AI is being used, establishing ownership and authority, assessing risk, protecting information, maintaining meaningful human oversight, governing suppliers, managing incidents and change, and creating the evidence needed to demonstrate responsible governance.
The approach supports EU AI Act readiness, ISO/IEC 42001 alignment, SOC 2 control readiness and responsible AI governance, while recognising that effective governance must remain proportionate to the organisation and the risks it actually faces.
Rather than treating governance as a one-off compliance exercise, the manual provides a pathway from initial visibility and control through continuing governance, organisational capability and, where necessary, more advanced governance through CAT and PAAK.
Clear. Practical. Proportionate. Real-world.
For organisations that know AI governance matters, but need to know what to actually do next.
