Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are you qualified to handle legal compliance or give legal advice?
We specialise in compliance from a strategic, operational, and risk-reduction angle. While we don’t act as solicitors or provide formal legal representation, our consultancy gives you tailored support to prepare your organisation and reduce exposure. If your situation requires legal opinions or court representation, we’ll guide you to appropriate legal professionals.
Q: Can you help us with GDPR, data privacy or general compliance?
Absolutely though our core service is AI compliance, we also assess overlaps with data privacy and UK/EU GDPR requirements, helping you tighten policies and avoid double risk.
Q: Do you only work with healthcare or NHS practices?
Not at all. We work with small businesses across healthcare, education, technology and beyond. If you use AI — from patient triage tools to automated staff systems we help you stay protected.
Q: How quickly can we start?
Usually within a week. We start with a quick discovery session to map your needs, then move straight into an actionable plan.
Q: What does a typical project cost?
It depends on the size of your organisation and scope. Some clients start with a one-off risk assessment, others need full compliance roadmaps with ongoing reviews. We’ll always give you a transparent quote first.
Q: Do you offer retainers?
Yes, affordable monthly support starting from £300.

Recent client success
Story 1 SME & Client Trust (Retail / E-commerce)
A family-run retailer in Limerick recently started using an AI tool to recommend products to customers online. Within weeks, a loyal customer asked how their personal data was being processed. With GDPR on their minds, the retailer contacted us to map their AI decision flows and add safeguards. The result? A clear compliance framework that didn’t just keep them legally covered it strengthened customer trust. They now proudly display a short statement about their AI use, turning a risk into a loyalty driver.
Story 2 Independent School (Education Sector)
A private school group in the Midlands approached us after investing in an AI-based assessment platform. They were surprised to learn that even under current data protection laws, they needed clearer governance on how student profiles were generated. We worked with their team to develop an AI policy tailored for education, helping them reassure parents and prepare for future regulations. It’s already made their next board review smoother.
Story 3 Health Practice (GP / Dental / Therapy)
In Cork, a small health practice adopted an AI scheduling and pre-screening chatbot. During a routine insurer renewal, they were asked to demonstrate how they monitor algorithm bias and patient data security. They called us in. We designed lightweight, sector-specific compliance checks that satisfied both their insurer and local data protection queries keeping premiums stable and operations stress-free.
Start with a Free RAG Check
A quick, 20-minute scan that gives you a traffic-light snapshot of your AI and data use. You’ll see where you’re safe, where you need to pay attention, and where there are urgent risks. We send you a short one-page email summary with two or three actions you can take straight away.
Compliance Review £195 + VAT
When you’re ready to go deeper, step up to our Here we take the full list of your AI tools and data flows, and within 48 hours you receive a colour-coded memo that ranks your risks by cost and impact. We also include a one-page action plan on NextGen headed paper something you can show to insurers, investors, or regulators as proof that you’re actively managing AI compliance.
The RAG Check is your free, high-level sense check. The Compliance Review is your documented proof. One opens the door, the other keeps it secure.
AI Data Impact Review Healthcare £495 + VAT
If you run a GP surgery, dental practice, or private clinic, you’ll already have GDPR policies in place. But GDPR alone doesn’t cover the new risks of AI-driven platforms. Tools such as Lexacom (digital dictation), Nuance Dragon Medical (speech-to-text records), EMIS Web (patient data management), or Dentally (cloud-based practice management) process sensitive data with AI in the loop. Regulators like the ICO and GMC expect you to show not just privacy compliance, but how AI decisions are safe, explainable, and risk-managed.
An AI Data Impact Review looks beyond GDPR. Within five working days you’ll receive:
A colour-coded memo showing where your AI and data use is Green, Amber, or Red.
A one-page action plan ranked by risk and cost.
A signed NextGen report you can use with insurers, regulators, or partners as proof of compliance.
This review protects you against regulator scrutiny and patient trust issues that a basic GDPR audit won’t flag.
AI Safeguard Audit Education £495 + VAT
Schools already pay annually for GDPR and safeguarding audits but those don’t cover AI. Today, teachers and administrators are using platforms like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams for Education, and Arbor MIS to manage lessons and pupil records. Meanwhile, pupils are engaging with tools like ClassDojo, Seesaw, or AI homework helpers. Each carries new risks around consent, fairness, and data retention that GDPR alone doesn’t address.
An AI Safeguard Audit is designed for academies, trusts, and independent schools rolling out these platforms. You’ll receive:
A traffic-light memo highlighting where staff and pupil AI use is safe, risky, or urgent.
A one-page compliance roadmap you can share with governors or regulators.
Clear guidance that distinguishes between GDPR duties and AI-specific risks (transparency, bias, explainability).
This audit helps schools prove they’re ahead of the curve, protecting both staff data and pupil safety as AI tools spread through education.
Enterprise AI Audit from £4,995 + VAT (by request)
For larger organisations running multiple AI workflows or selling into regulated supply chains, a light compliance review isn’t enough. Boards, insurers, and regulators expect documented proof that every data flow and AI decision has been assessed.
Most firms in this space turn to solicitors or Big Four auditors and pay £15k–£25k for the privilege. Our Enterprise AI Audit gives you the same operational rigour without the inflated fees.
We map your critical AI systems end-to-end, test them against the EU AI Act, UK GDPR, and sector-specific codes, and deliver a board-ready pack that includes:
A comprehensive traffic-light risk report.
Sector-specific compliance-recommendations.
A draft set of AI/data policies tailored to your workflows.
A briefing deck for staff or board sign-off.
Pricing starts at £4,995 + VAT. Final fees depend on the number of workflows, systems, and stakeholders involved. This service is available on request only, ensuring we scope the work properly before engagement.
Why NextGen? Because we sit between the box-ticking £195 consultancy and the £20k Big Four audit. You get expertise, speed, and a clear deliverable that proves compliance without draining your budget.
Why we show our prices upfront
Most consultancies hide their fees. They make you book a call just to hear a number, or advertise “free” and then pile on hidden extras. We don’t work like that. At NextGen, our pricing is transparent from the start. You’ll see exactly what each review or retainer costs, what you get, and why it matters. No surprises, no games just clear, honest pricing that reflects the work we actually do.
Fix-Prices AI Compliance Packages
Ongoing Compliance Support Retainers
AI compliance isn’t a one-off project. Regulators shift rules mid-year, platforms update overnight, and clients, governors, or insurers want proof you’re keeping up. A retainer means you don’t have to chase every update yourself we track, explain, and document the changes for you.
Who it’s for
Our retainers support small and mid-sized organisations using AI in their daily work. That includes:
Clinics and dental practices using tools like EMIS Web, Dragon Medical, or Dentally.
Schools and academies adopting Microsoft Teams for Education, Google Classroom, or pupil apps like Seesaw.
SMEs and consultancies working with platforms like HubSpot, or Copilot T-style tools.
Other businesses introducing AI into admin, HR, or marketing.
For larger organisations running multiple AI workflows, see our Enterprise Audit (from £4,995) for a board-level service.
