MEC AI Risk & Readiness Assessment

Empowering Safe, Strategic AI Adoption Across Your Organization

Solution Overview

Protect Your Organization Before It Becomes the Next Headline

Offered as an add-on to MEC’s Virtual CIO and Cybersecurity Assessment Services, this solution helps clients evaluate current and potential AI use cases across their enterprise, assess associated cybersecurity and compliance risks, and align AI initiatives with their operational and mission goals.
