$15,000 and three weeks.
Now free, and about fifteen minutes.
“A DISP readiness report at this level of detail used to cost around fifteen thousand dollars and take three weeks. We're giving it away for free, on sovereign infrastructure, and it takes about fifteen minutes. Every Australian organisation deserves to know where they stand on compliance. Cost and complexity shouldn't be the barrier, and neither should having to send the answers to an overseas tech company.”
Coverage
The standards your industry runs on, already mapped
Run a scored readiness assessment against any of these frameworks. Each report is structured the way an auditor expects to read it, with gaps rated by severity and remediation steps prioritised.

Why now
The visibility gap is already inside your organisation.
Employees are using AI. Most of it is happening outside any system the organisation can see, on personal accounts, on platforms that train on user inputs, under offshore jurisdiction. Banning it has stopped working. Governing it is the only path left.
85.7%
of knowledge workers now use AI at work (Cyberhaven, 2026)
72.8%
of those using personal accounts their employer can't see (Cyberhaven, 2026)
36%+
of Australian professionals have exposed sensitive company data to AI platforms (Josys, 2025)
11%
of what employees paste into AI tools is confidential (Cyberhaven, 2026)
In March 2026 a single contractor exploited a known vulnerability in McKinsey's internal AI assistant and extracted 46.5 million confidential conversations referencing 728,000 client files in two hours. In 2023, Samsung engineers pasted proprietary semiconductor source code into the consumer version of ChatGPT within twenty days of lifting an internal ban. That data entered the model's training pipeline and cannot be removed.
The regulatory floor is rising
Australian regulators have already moved.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner's October 2024 guidance made organisations directly accountable for any personal information employees enter into commercial AI tools, including ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini.
Privacy Act reforms lifted maximum penalties for serious breaches to the greater of $50 million, three times the benefit obtained, or 30 per cent of adjusted turnover.
The Australian Signals Directorate's March 2026 update to the Information Security Manual introduced its first formal AI-specific controls. Australia's Voluntary AI Safety Standard set out ten guardrails covering transparency, accountability, human oversight and data governance.
In February 2025, the Australian Government banned DeepSeek from all federal devices under Direction 001-2025, citing foreign-government access risk under China's National Intelligence Law.
The lesson was never “ban AI.” The lesson was “ungoverned AI is the risk.”
