AI governance,
made simple.

The EU AI Act is in force. If your business operates in or sells into the Republic of Ireland or the EU, your obligations are real, and most NI SMEs don't yet know what applies to them.

THE CHALLENGE

Most NI businesses are exposed, and don’t know it yet

The EU AI Act creates real legal obligations for businesses that use or develop AI. If your customers, suppliers, or operations touch the Republic of Ireland or the EU, those obligations are likely to apply to you. Most specialist support is aimed at large enterprises, leaving NI SMEs caught in the gap.

“The businesses most at risk are often the ones with the least guidance available to them. Aiforya exists to close that gap — with advice that is proportionate, plain-English, and built for the way SMEs actually work

You may already be in scope

Using AI in hiring, customer service, credit decisions, or operations may already trigger obligations under the Act.

Generic advice doesn’t fit SMEs

Most compliance guidance is written for legal teams in large organisations. You need something proportionate, plain-English, and built for how your business actually works.

Your enterprise clients will ask

Procurement teams at larger organisations are already requiring AI governance evidence from suppliers. Getting ahead of this now protects existing and future contracts.

SERVICES

Clear, practical, and priced for SMEs

Fixed-fee services designed around the way small and medium businesses actually operate, not around what a large consultancy would charge.

ABOUT AIFORYA

Governance experience.
Human understanding.

Aiforya was founded by Elodie, a Senior Digital Strategist and governance professional who has spent 15 years working inside global organisations, managing risk, building policy, and leading teams through complex change.

Aiforya exists because that experience is exactly what NI SMEs need right now, and almost nobody is delivering it at a scale and price that works for them. The EU AI Act isn’t going away. The fines are real. And the businesses most at risk are often the ones with the least support.

  • Compliance built for how your business actually works — not copied from a corporate template.
  • Honest, plain-English advice. No unnecessary complexity, no upselling of work you don’t need.
  • A genuine commitment to responsible AI. Not just ticking boxes, but building governance that actually protects people.
