Safe AI

Use AI without the data leaks.

Your team is probably already using AI — the question is whether it's safe. We put sensible guardrails in place so you get the benefits without the risk.

Shadow AI is already in your business

If you haven't approved an AI tool, the chances are someone is using a free one anyway — pasting in customer emails, contracts or spreadsheets to save time. Free consumer AI services may retain that data and use it to improve their models, depending on settings.

Banning AI rarely works. Giving people a safe, approved alternative does.

What we put in place

  • AI acceptable use policy — one or two pages, plain English, covering approved tools, data that must never be entered, and checking outputs
  • Approved tools on business accounts — with data protection terms and admin controls
  • Permission clean-up — so AI assistants can't surface files people shouldn't see
  • Identity security — MFA, conditional access and sensible admin roles
  • UK GDPR alignment — updating privacy notices and records where AI processes personal data, and data protection impact assessments where needed

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Do small businesses need an AI policy?

If anyone in your business uses AI tools — and they probably do — a short policy is one of the cheapest risk reductions available. It protects customer data and makes expectations clear.

Does UK GDPR apply to AI?

Yes. If personal data goes into an AI tool, UK GDPR applies just as it would to any other processing. The ICO publishes guidance on AI and data protection, and we'll help you apply it proportionately.
