Safety Pinnacle | AI Governance for Growing Businesses

Most Businesses Adopted AI Faster Than They Built Policies to Govern It

Your team is probably using AI tools you don't fully know about, inputting data you haven't assessed, with compliance implications nobody's reviewed.

This isn't hypothetical. It's happening at most SMBs right now. And with GDPR enforcement intensifying and the EU AI Act coming into force, the cost of getting this wrong is rising.

73% of SMBs have no AI governance policy

€20M+ potential GDPR fines for violations

2025 EU AI Act enforcement begins

You'll know exactly where you're exposed and what to fix first.

Governance Implementation

Policies, training, and monitoring systems tailored to your business—not enterprise frameworks you'll never use.

Your team will have clear guidelines and you'll have documentation that protects you.

You'll stay ahead of the regulatory curve without it becoming your job.

About Me

I'm Daniel Stewart, founder of Safety Pinnacle. I help growing businesses navigate AI governance—because most AI safety advice is either too academic, too enterprise-focused, or too alarmist.

SMBs deserve clear, practical guidance that's proportionate to their resources and risks. That's what I provide.

I started Safety Pinnacle because I saw too many businesses adopting AI without understanding the risks—not because they didn't care, but because nobody was explaining it in terms that made sense for their situation.

My approach is simple: identify the real risks, prioritise what actually matters, and give you practical solutions you can implement. No fear-mongering, no enterprise-level complexity, just clarity.

We're a small team. Do we really need AI governance?

Size doesn't reduce risk—it often increases it. SMBs typically have less oversight, which means AI tools get adopted without review. A single data breach or compliance violation can be existential for a small business.

How much does this cost?

An AI Safety Audit typically ranges from £2,000-£5,000 depending on complexity. Ongoing advisory is £1,500-£3,000/month. The free assessment call will help determine what's right for your situation.

How long does an audit take?

Most audits are completed within 1-2 weeks. You'll receive a comprehensive report with prioritised recommendations and a clear action plan.

We're not using much AI. Is it too early?

If your team has access to ChatGPT, AI features in your software, or any AI-powered tools, you're using AI. The best time to establish governance is before issues arise, not after.

What makes you different from big consultancies?

I focus exclusively on SMBs. That means practical, proportionate guidance—not enterprise frameworks that require a team to implement. You get senior expertise without the overhead.

Is the initial assessment really free?

Yes. 25 minutes, no obligation. You'll leave with clarity on your biggest risks whether we work together or not. I believe in demonstrating value before asking for commitment.
