Remove the paperwork.
Protect what matters.
Get back to work.
Helping small and local businesses eliminate messy paperwork and administrative overhead so you can focus on what you love—safely, affordably, and ethically.
Advanced, secure AI shouldn’t only be available to giant corporations.
N-Deavour was founded by Ninian Dougall—a play on the initials N.D., and a commitment to constantly endeavouring to improve. The practice grew from a simple frustration: the most useful technology keeps getting locked behind enterprise budgets, leaving smaller businesses to manage with outdated processes and real privacy risk.
The name is personal by design. The work is, too.
-
Healthcare safety & records privacy
Started at a local hospice clearing out manual paperwork so frontline staff could focus on patients, while keeping sensitive medical records completely private. The first lesson: removing administrative friction is an act of care.
-
AI red-teaming & data privacy testing
Moved into testing advanced AI systems—finding critical data leaks, hallucination errors, and privacy vulnerabilities before they reached real users. The second lesson: AI is only safe when someone is actively looking for what can go wrong.
-
Bringing it to small businesses
Both threads converged into one practice. AI is simply a practical tool for handling repetitive tasks and safeguarding business data. Small businesses deserve the same access to it that enterprise teams have always had.
Four practical services. Transparent pricing.
