Strategic Partner
Inspiring Joe
Online Safety, Cyber Resilience, and OSINT consultancy — with a track record spanning the UK Safer Internet Centre, Devon and Cornwall Police, and the Home Office.
Online safety and OSINT expertise, alongside AI governance.
Inspiring Joe is a specialist consultancy in Online Safety, Cyber Resilience, and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), with a track record of delivery across policing, government, and the education sector. Their client history includes the UK Safer Internet Centre, Devon and Cornwall Police, the Home Office, and the British Army.
The partnership with Rossnet exists because online safety and AI governance increasingly converge. AI systems — particularly generative AI and recommendation algorithms — are central to many of the online safety challenges organisations and individuals face, and the governance of those systems falls squarely within Rossnet's advisory scope.
Where engagements require specialist OSINT capability, policing-sector knowledge, or online safety expertise alongside AI governance or cyber resilience advisory, Rossnet and Inspiring Joe are able to work together to serve clients across both domains. Inspiring Joe was founded by Steve Shepherd, a Rossnet Associate — see his full profile.
Where the two practices come together.
Online safety and AI governance are increasingly the same problem viewed from different angles. The partnership addresses clients who need both.
AI and Online Safety
Generative AI, recommendation systems, and algorithmic content moderation sit at the heart of online safety challenges for organisations and individuals alike. Rossnet's AI governance advisory and Inspiring Joe's online safety expertise address this overlap directly.
OSINT and AI Risk
Open source intelligence techniques are increasingly relevant to AI risk assessment — understanding what data about an organisation or its people is publicly available, and how that exposure can be exploited or mitigated.
Policing and Public Sector
Both practices have direct experience working with policing and public sector bodies — combining Inspiring Joe's policing and education sector reach with Rossnet's AI governance and cyber resilience capability.
Online safety and AI governance, together.
Whether your organisation needs AI governance, online safety expertise, or both, get in touch to understand how Rossnet and Inspiring Joe can help.
