AI for UK industries. Bespoke, not boxed.

OpenKit builds AI inside the regulatory floor and existing stack of eight UK sectors. The engagement model is the same in each — a two-week audit, a four-week build, an Embedded AI Lead on retainer — and the sector knowledge lives inside the audit. Pick the sector that matches the buyer.

ISO 27001 certified. ISO 9001 certified. Cyber Essentials. UK GDPR compliant. Cambridge-based, UK-wide delivery.

OpenKit builds bespoke AI for eight UK industries: healthcare, financial services, legal, hospitality, education, manufacturing and mobility, recruitment and HR, and insurance. OpenKit delivers a two-week fixed-fee audit, a four-week Transformation Block on the existing sector stack, and an Embedded AI Lead retainer that owns delivery and the sector-specific governance work. OpenKit has ISO 27001, ISO 9001, Cyber Essentials, and UK GDPR compliance, working from Cambridge across the United Kingdom.

Eight sectors, one engagement
model, your stack.

Each sector page names the integrations OpenKit builds against, the case studies OpenKit can share, the regulatory floor the audit clears, and the governance documentation the Embedded AI Lead carries afterwards.

Four routes — pick the one
that fits where you are.

Every sector engagement uses the same model. The sector adds its own regulatory floor and stack; the routes do not change. You can stop at any phase.

Industry questions OpenKit
gets asked first.

Six questions buyers ask before they pick a sector page. Each sector page has its own ten-to-eleven question FAQ that goes deeper on the regulatory floor and the integrations.

How does OpenKit work across different UK industries?

The same engagement model applies in every sector. A two-week fixed-fee audit walks your existing workflows, data, and regulatory floor; a four-week Transformation Block configures and trains against your stack; an Embedded AI Lead retainer carries delivery and the sector-specific governance work afterwards. The sector knowledge sits inside the audit: DSP Toolkit and Caldicott in healthcare, FCA Consumer Duty and SMCR in financial services, SRA outcomes and Law Society verify-disclose-record in legal, KCSIE and the ICO Children’s Code in education, IEC 62443 awareness in manufacturing, EU AI Act Annex III in recruitment.

Which sectors do you have delivered work in?

Legal (Baisics, Pubs Advisory Service), healthcare (MyPain, EMQN, a UK private healthcare group), financial services (Kaption, a UK private-client advisory firm), hospitality (Pubs Advisory Service, Kioti / UpNorth Group), manufacturing (FW Thorpe / Thorlux, Kioti / UpNorth Group, an international oil and gas service provider), education (Rubrical, CodeKit, BrightGame), and recruitment (Chapta). Insurance work has historically run under NDA and is named anonymously on the sector page.

Can you build AI for a regulated UK industry without claiming sector certifications?

Yes. OpenKit has ISO 27001, ISO 9001, Cyber Essentials, and is UK GDPR compliant. We do not claim SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, or HITRUST. On sector pages, the language is always “designed to help meet” or “aligned with”, and never “certified to” for a credential OpenKit does not have. Sector regulators are taken seriously and surfaced honestly.

Does the audit really pay for itself?

It is a low five-figure fixed fee that ends with a written report a board, a partner group, or a trust executive can sign. Most audits identify two to three configuration wins that justify the audit fee inside the first month of the Transformation Block. The audit also flags the regulatory gaps a buyer would otherwise discover during their own procurement review — DSP Toolkit, FCA Consumer Duty, SRA supervision, KCSIE — so the work that follows is shaped to clear those before they become a procurement objection.

How do you decide which industry pattern applies?

Pick the sector that matches the buyer, not the use case. Document-heavy regulated work in a law firm sits on the legal page; the same workflow inside an insurance broker sits on the insurance page; the same workflow inside a wealth manager sits on the financial services page. The audit then names the integration scope inside the chosen sector’s stack, and the Embedded AI Lead carries the sector’s governance documentation.

My industry isn’t listed. Can OpenKit still help?

Yes. The eight sectors are where OpenKit has delivered, named work and a sector-specific regulatory map. The same audit-first engagement model applies outside those sectors. The audit produces the regulatory map the sector needs, and the Transformation Block builds against the discovered stack. Start with a discovery call.
