AI Security & Governance
Secure your AI before it becomes your biggest risk.
AI is everywhere — not just Microsoft Copilot
AI is now part of everyday work. Many employees already use tools like chatbots and AI assistants — often without thinking about the risks.
Most popular AI tools today are not based in the EU, which can affect how your data is handled and where it is stored.
A common misunderstanding
“If I use AI at work, my data is private and safe.”
This is not always true.
- Your data may be stored by the AI provider
- It may be processed outside Europe
- It could be used to improve the AI model
- You may not know who can access it
If you don't control the AI, you don't fully control your data.
What about Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is more secure than many public AI tools — but only if your environment is properly set up.
Why it can be safe
- It follows your company's existing access rules
- It does not use your data to train public AI models
- It stays within your Microsoft 365 environment
The important part
Copilot can only be as secure as your data. If employees have access to too much information, Copilot can show them more than they should see.
An employee has access to sensitive documents (even by mistake). Copilot can find and present that information — instantly.
Free AI vs Secure AI
Uncontrolled AI (High Risk)
- No visibility into how AI is used
- No control over what data is shared
- Employees may use unknown tools
- Higher risk of data leaks
Managed & Secure AI (POISE)
- Clear rules for how AI can be used
- Protection of sensitive business data
- Full visibility of AI activity
- Reduced risk of data exposure
- Better alignment with GDPR
The hidden risk: Shadow AI
In most companies today, employees use AI tools on their own — pasting company data into chat tools with no monitoring. This is one of the fastest growing security risks.
Unauthorized tools
Employees use AI tools without approval, sharing sensitive data with unknown services.
Data leakage
Company data pasted into public AI tools may be stored, indexed, or used for training.
No monitoring
Without visibility, you cannot detect or prevent AI-related data exposure.
Our AI Security Services
We help you adopt AI securely, safely, and in full control.
AI Risk Assessment
We evaluate how AI tools interact with your environment: Copilot readiness, data exposure analysis, access and permission review.
M365 AI Security (Copilot)
Secure SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data. Implement least-privilege access. Apply data classification and DLP policies. Control AI access.
AI Monitoring & Threat Detection
Detect abnormal AI usage patterns, identify risky behaviour, alert on unusual data access, monitor AI-related activity 24/7.
AI Governance & Policy
Define AI usage policies, control approved vs unapproved tools, align with GDPR, establish secure usage guidelines for employees.
Shadow AI Discovery
Identify unauthorized AI usage, reduce data leakage risks, and replace risky tools with secure alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shadow AI and why is it dangerous?
Shadow AI refers to employees using unauthorized AI tools at work. It is dangerous because sensitive business data may be shared with unknown services outside your control, potentially violating GDPR and exposing confidential information.
Is Microsoft Copilot safe to use?
Copilot can be safe when properly configured. However, it inherits your existing access permissions — if employees have access to too much data, Copilot can surface sensitive information. A readiness assessment is essential before deployment.
How quickly can you assess our AI security?
Our initial AI Risk Assessment typically takes 1-2 weeks. We evaluate your current AI usage, permissions, data exposure, and provide actionable recommendations.
Does this work with our existing M365 monitoring?
Yes. Our AI security services integrate seamlessly with your existing POISE M365 monitoring. Same platform, same alerting, same 24/7 approach — we extend your protection, not replace it.
What about GDPR compliance with AI tools?
Many AI tools process data outside the EU, which creates GDPR challenges. We help you identify which tools are compliant, set policies for safe usage, and ensure data stays within EU borders.
