Microsoft Copilot & AI Readiness
Copilot and tools like it are useful — and they will cheerfully surface every file your staff technically have access to, including the ones nobody meant to share. Before AI goes in, permissions, data classification, and policy need to be right. We make sure they are, then we deploy it.
AI That Helps Without Leaking
The technology is easy to turn on. Turning it on safely is the project.
AI Readiness Assessment
Where your data lives, who can see what, what's oversharing, and what Copilot would surface on day one. A written report before a single license is bought.
Permissions & Oversharing Cleanup
SharePoint sites shared with 'Everyone,' anonymous links, stale guest accounts, HR folders open to the whole company. We find and fix them — Copilot respects permissions, so permissions have to be right.
Data Classification & Purview
Sensitivity labels for confidential, client, and personal data; DLP policies that keep it out of prompts and out of the wrong hands. The foundation for using AI with regulated data.
Copilot Licensing & Deployment
Right-size Copilot licenses to the people who'll actually use them, deploy in Teams, Outlook, Word, and Excel, and configure what it can and can't reach.
Pilot Program & Training
A small pilot group, real use cases, measured results — then rollout with practical training on prompting, verification, and what not to paste into any AI tool.
Acceptable-Use Policy
A clear, short AI policy for staff: approved tools, prohibited data, review requirements, and client-confidentiality rules. Especially important for law firms, medical practices, and anyone under HIPAA or the Safeguards Rule.
Beyond Copilot
ChatGPT Team, Claude, Gemini, and industry-specific tools evaluated for your use case, with data-handling and retention terms reviewed before anyone signs up.
Measured Outcomes
Adoption and time-savings tracked after rollout, so you know whether the licenses are paying for themselves — and can cut the ones that aren't.
Copilot Finds Everything
Microsoft's own guidance is to review sharing and permissions before deploying Copilot, because the tool can summarize any document a user can open — including the salary spreadsheet that was shared with 'Everyone except external users' in 2019. The cleanup is the real work, and it improves security whether or not you buy AI.
