How the AI Compliance Gap Analyser approaches this

You describe your organisation, choose your framework (EU AI Act / NIST AI RMF / ISO 42001 / all three), and answer a brief 10-question self-assessment per framework. The tool maps your stated posture against each framework requirement to produce a structured, evidence-based gap analysis ready for your compliance, legal, and governance practitioners.

The Executive Summary Word document is a one-page sign-off artifact — overall scorecard, top 5 priority actions, cross-framework synthesis (when comparing all three), sign-off block. The detailed Excel workbook is the working remediation instrument: per-framework gap sheets with current state, target state, gap severity, priority action, framework citations, owner, effort, and a Status dropdown that drives the live Dashboard. Both are AI-assisted drafting aids intended to accelerate review and remediation by qualified practitioners.

What you get

• ✓ Two artefacts, two jobs: Executive Summary (.docx) for board sign-off, Detailed Workbook (.xlsx) for the working remediation tracking — no overlap, no confusion.
• ✓ Customer self-assessment driven: gap ratings come from your stated posture, not from inferred maturity. The workbook pre-fills your answer alongside each requirement so reviewers see the basis for every gap rating.
• ✓ Live dashboard with formulas + native radar + doughnut charts that auto-refresh as you mark gap rows Done — no regeneration needed to see remediation progress.
• ✓ Tailored to your jurisdiction, industry, organisation size, and risk appetite — every gap rating accounts for your context, not a generic checklist. Designed for review and sign-off by qualified compliance, legal, or governance practitioners.
