AI-enabled service helps SMEs tackle cyber, regulatory and AI challenges

BH Consulting has launched BH Haven, a service aimed at helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) address rising cyber, data protection, regulatory and AI-related risks. The offering combines governance, technical assurance, privacy controls, AI governance, and business resilience in a single ongoing package designed for resource-constrained SMEs.

What the service changes for SMEs

The new BH Haven service integrates multiple risk management functions into one ongoing program rather than requiring SMEs to manage separate suppliers and teams. It brings together governance for security and privacy, practical technical services, and assurance that executives can rely on. The aim is to help smaller businesses operate with a level of cyber, privacy and AI governance typically found at larger firms, even with limited internal resources.

Key facts you should know

• BH Haven is described as combining cyber security governance, data protection, AI governance, risk management, regulatory readiness, and business continuity in a single service.
• The target customers are Irish SMEs facing growing cyber, regulatory and AI-related challenges.
• The service is designed to be resource-efficient, addressing the constraints SMEs often have in staffing and expertise.

Who is affected and how

Small and medium-sized Irish enterprises stand to benefit by gaining access to governance and assurance capabilities that resemble those in larger organisations. This may help them meet regulatory requirements, protect data, and manage AI-related risks without creating large in-house teams.

Practical next steps for interested SMEs

• Identify which regulatory and data-protection obligations apply to your business (for example, data privacy laws and cyber security standards).
• Evaluate whether you need ongoing governance and assurance services to monitor and improve cyber, privacy and AI risk controls.
• Contact BH Consulting or your adviser to discuss how BH Haven could fit your resource levels and risk profile.
• Prepare a basic statement of current risks and regulatory gaps to discuss with the service provider.

Limits and ongoing questions

The source describes BH Haven as a new service; details such as pricing, exact scope, and implementation timelines are not specified. SMEs should ask providers for concrete examples of how governance and assurance are delivered, and how the service adapts as a company grows or as regulatory requirements evolve.
