12-week plan for AI and data governance improvements

roi

To illustrate a path forward, here’s a snapshot of a 12-week action plan we often recommend for health tech SMEs looking to uplift their data privacy and AI governance:

      • Weeks 1–2: Discovery & Scoping – We’ll help you confirm the scope of your data environment: identify all jurisdictions you operate in, catalogue products/features and the types of personal data they handle, and flag any obvious high-risk areas (e.g. an AI module or a planned new data sharing initiative). By the end of week 2, you’ll have a clear map of “what data, where, and which laws apply.”

      • Weeks 3–4: Risk Assessments & Quick Wins – We conduct DPIAs/PIAs on the most critical processing activities identified. Simultaneously, we begin supplier audits for key third parties (reviewing their contracts and practices). We’ll deliver mitigation measures for any urgent risks (e.g. “enable encryption on X database now” or “pause launching in Country Y until consent flow is fixed”).

      • Weeks 5–6: Policy and Documentation Refresh – During this phase, we revamp your consent forms, privacy notices, and internal data handling policies. We also help you update your Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) and prepare draft SCCs/transfer assessments for your international data flows. Essentially, we generate the documentation and user-facing content that brings you in line with any regulatory requirements.

      • Weeks 7–8: Implement Technical Controls & IR Plans – Now it’s time to put improvements into action. We guide your IT team in implementing baseline security measures (maybe hardening access controls, enabling audit logs, etc.). We also finalise and test your Incident Response Plan, including breach simulation drills. By week 8, you’ll have stronger defences and a rehearsed plan for incidents.

      • Weeks 9–10: Establish AI and Data Governance – We work with your product/data science team to formalise AI governance: setting up that model registry, documentation for algorithms, and human review processes for any automated decisions of significance. If needed, we also help designate a Data Protection Officer or similar role and set up a governance committee to review privacy-impacting plans going forward.

      • Weeks 11–12: Training & KPI Handover – In the final stretch, we deliver targeted training sessions to your teams to ensure they understand the new policies and the importance of compliance. We also help you publish a privacy roadmap and define KPIs (key performance indicators) – for example, “% of new features going through DPIA” or “Avg. time to fulfil DSAR” – so you can measure and maintain progress. By the end of week 12, privacy is not a one-time project but an ongoing part of your operations, with people accountable for keeping it on track.

This intensive programme can be adjusted to your needs, but it illustrates how quickly improvements can be made with expert guidance. In three months, we’ve seen clients transform from having ad-hoc, reactive privacy measures to having a structured privacy programme that impresses investors, customers, and regulators alike.
