01 · Problem

Series B SaaS in the staffing vertical had shipped an AI resume-match feature nine months earlier. A large enterprise prospect's DPO asked for DPDPA evidence, EU AI Act assessment, and a bias probe report. Internal team had none of the three.

02 · Approach

Three-week Shield audit against our 12-point Responsible AI checklist. Live controlled testing: bias probes across protected attributes, prompt-injection pen test, PII-leakage spot checks. DPDPA gap analysis with prioritised remediation roadmap. Board-ready one-page summary.

03 · Outcome

The enterprise prospect signed. Two of the 12 audit items required remediation; the client took them to Forge. The Shield report has since been re-used with two more enterprise DPOs with zero re-work.

The Shield report is the single document I hand to enterprise DPOs now. It's the only one they actually accept without a 40-question follow-up.
