Use AI with confidence.

Understand how AI tools are being used across your business, what information they can reach and where practical safeguards are needed.

Discuss your security

You may recognise one of these

  • Staff already use AI tools, and nobody has agreed which ones or what for.
  • Client or business information is being pasted into personal accounts.
  • Microsoft Copilot is about to be switched on, and you are unsure what it will be able to find.
  • A client, insurer or auditor has asked how you control the use of AI.

Understand how AI is being used.

AI tools often arrive before anyone has decided how they should be used. The starting point is a plain picture of what is in use today.

A review would look at

  • Which AI tools staff use, and for what kinds of work.
  • Whether they sign in with work accounts or personal ones.
  • Who owns and administers the organisation's subscriptions.
  • Whether staff have clear guidance on appropriate use.

Protect sensitive information.

What matters most is what goes in. Business plans and personal accounts are covered by different terms, and the controls on offer vary by product, plan and configuration, so the answer for your organisation depends on what you actually use.

A review would look at

  • What information staff put into AI tools.
  • The settings and controls available in the tools and subscriptions under review.
  • Practical guidance for handling business and client information.

Review access and sharing.

What an AI tool can access depends on its connections, permissions and configuration. A review checks those arrangements and whether information is shared more widely than intended.

A review would look at

  • Existing access to files, sites and other business information.
  • Permissions and sharing that are broader than they need to be.
  • Whether connected tools can reach more information than intended.

Establish practical rules.

People need short guidance they can follow on an ordinary working day, and to know who to ask.

A review would look at

  • Acceptable-use guidance written for your organisation.
  • What staff should check before using an AI tool for a task.
  • When a person must review the result, and when to escalate.
  • Who approves tools and who handles concerns.

Review Microsoft Copilot readiness.

Microsoft's documentation for Copilot in Microsoft 365, the version organisations license for work, states that it only surfaces organisational data to which the individual user already has at least view permission. That makes your existing permissions and sharing the thing to check before it is switched on, or soon after. Other Copilot products and licences differ, so a review looks at the one you have.

A review would look at

  • Permissions and sharing in SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
  • Identity and access arrangements for the people who will use it.
  • Data protection settings that apply, such as sensitivity labels, and what your licences include.

What you could receive.

Findings

A plain-English account of which AI tools are in use, how they are accessed and where information may be exposed.

Priorities

The issues that matter most, in order, so effort goes where it reduces risk.

Agreed next steps

What to change and who will do it: us, your IT provider or your own team. Where we implement changes, you get written notes on what changed.

How the scope is agreed.

Organisations use different tools on different plans, so there is no fixed package. We start with a conversation about what you use and what concerns you. Together we agree which of the five areas to cover, which products are in scope and what you will receive. The work depends on your environment and available licences.

Where product differences matter.

We name these products because they are widely used. What each one can reach, and how your information is treated, depends on the plan and how it is set up.

Microsoft Copilot

For Copilot in Microsoft 365, the version organisations license for work, Microsoft's documentation states that it draws on the emails, chats and documents the signed-in person has permission to access, and that prompts, responses and the data accessed are not used to train its foundation models.

ChatGPT

Offered by OpenAI in plans for individuals and for organisations. OpenAI states that it does not train its models on business data by default. Its services for individuals have a data control that decides whether conversations are used.

Claude

Offered by Anthropic in plans for individuals and for organisations. Anthropic states that inputs and outputs from its commercial products are not used to train its models by default. On its consumer plans this depends on the choice made in privacy settings.
