NTK tracks AI compliance and governance obligations across Australia, the UK, the EU, Canada and the US. Privacy law, data residency, hiring and automated-decision rules, and vendor due diligence.
Guidance is written in plain English and verified against primary sources (regulator guidance, the actual legislation, official enforcement notices), not secondary summaries. A guide that no longer reflects a current deadline or penalty tier is one that needs revisiting, not one left live and wrong.
