Private AI for Business

Compliance / ICO accountability framework

The ICO expects accountability to be demonstrated, not described.

We build private workflows that help organizations keep accountability evidence: decisions, data protection impact assessments, training records, design reviews, and breach logs in one reviewable file. The workflow prepares the record; the client and its advisers make the legal call.

Where accountability work loses time

The evidence is spread across folders and inboxes.

The recurring work is connecting each decision, assessment, and control to the person, date, and source that support it.

01 / DECIDE

Record the decision

Document the data processing decision, the options, the people involved, and the reason.

02 / ASSESS

Keep the DPIA current

Assemble the risk assessment, mitigations, consultation notes, and review dates.

03 / EVIDENCE

Connect the proof

Link training, design review, audit, incident, and improvement records to the decision.

The accountability boundary

The system organizes proof. It does not certify accountability.

LAW

Legal judgment stays expert

Whether evidence is sufficient remains with the client and its advisers.

ICO

No automatic contact

ICO communications, complaints, and investigations remain with the organization.

SOURCE

Current guidance only

ICO accountability guidance is confirmed against the current official text before use.

A first accountability workflow

Start with one decision or assessment record.

Choose the record

Pick a DPIA, decision log, training record, or breach file the team needs to keep current.

Define the fields

List the decision, owner, date, source, risk, mitigation, and review fields.

Run the evidence check

Compare current records with the defined fields and review missing or stale items.

Build the review pack

Prepare the summary, source index, and open questions for the responsible owner.

Accountability is easier to show when every decision, assessment, and control has a date and an owner.

Why trust Pristine3D?

We build and operate production software.

Pristine3D Ltd builds and operates live digital products, and we run private AI workflows internally as part of our own operations. We scope around your real workflow: the documents you own, the questions your team asks, and the access boundary you approve. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, we work remotely with clients worldwide.

METHOD

We start with the actual workflow

One input, one output, one test set, and one person who owns the result. We scope a real workflow instead of a transformation programme.

OWNERSHIP

The boundary stays visible

Cloud, model, storage, and messaging accounts stay in your name. The chosen data path, access rules, test record, documentation, and training are part of the agreed scope.

Pricing / fixed scope

Know the starting numbers before you ask.

The final quote follows the workflow. Infrastructure and model bills stay on your accounts.

Annual support

Starting from
$3,000 / ₦1.5m
per year

Standard care for one delivered workflow. Optional. Larger deployments and active monitoring are separately scoped.

See support

Architecture review from $500. Standard annual support is $3,000 / ₦1.5m per year for one delivered workflow. New workflows, integrations, active monitoring, and infrastructure are separately scoped; infrastructure, model, storage, and messaging bills stay on client accounts.

Straight answers

Common questions.

Does this make us accountable under the ICO's framework?

It organizes evidence for the client's own review. Whether the record is sufficient remains a legal and compliance judgment.

Can it draft a DPIA?

It can prepare a draft from approved facts. The organization, its data protection officer, and advisers review and own the assessment.

How is this different from the UK GDPR page?

That page covers processing records and obligations. This page is the accountability layer: decisions, DPIAs, training, design reviews, and breach logs.

Own your knowledge base

The model is not the product. The knowledge base is.

Documents, the retrieval index, access rules, and the workflows built around them are the asset, and they compound. We deploy so the knowledge base stays yours: on your accounts, in the environment you choose, under access rules your team defines. The model behind the answers is a connector, so the knowledge base moves with you, not with a vendor.

THE ASSET

Your corpus, your index

The document store, metadata, and retrieval setup live on accounts you own. No vendor holds the corpus.

THE LOCK-IN

Models are swappable parts

Change the model provider, move regions, or go local without rebuilding the knowledge base or the workflow.

THE ALPHA

The knowledge base is the alpha

Every improvement to the corpus improves the answers, and the improvement stays with you, not with a vendor.
