AI is changing the way we work. Is your business ready?

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to review your security measures and consider whether your business is ready to embrace AI safely. AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot offer exciting opportunities to improve productivity, streamline tasks and help your team work smarter. But before embracing AI, it’s important to make sure your business is ready to use it securely.From data protection and access permissions to unapproved AI tools and browser security, there are several areas to consider before rolling out AI across your organisation.

Working in conjunction with Inforcer, Connect Systems can help you take a closer look at your Microsoft 365 environment with an AI Readiness Assessment.

The assessment helps you understand whether your environment is ready for Copilot, highlighting areas to review and helping you identify potential security, configuration and data governance gaps before adoption.

What should you be considering?

  • AI readiness: Are your Microsoft 365 settings and permissions ready for Copilot? Before assigning licences, a review of access controls and permissions will help ensure Copilot cannot inadvertently provide information that users should not be able to access, such as personnel files, management-level emails or payroll data.
  • Shadow AI: Employees will often have their own preferred AI tools, but using different or unapproved services can make it harder to control where business information is entered, stored and processed. Our AI Readiness Assessment can help identify which tools are being used and put appropriate controls in place to protect company data without unnecessarily preventing employees from working efficiently.

AI adoption shouldn’t come at the expense of security. By understanding your starting point, you can take practical steps towards a safer, more confident approach to AI.
