Some businesses think they can dip a toe into AI by giving Copilot to a small pilot group. While pilots are useful, long-term limited rollouts create risk.
Here’s why:
- Unmonitored AI Use: If employees don’t have Copilot, they may paste sensitive data into free public AI tools like ChatGPT, where you can’t monitor or control it.
- Shadow IT: Staff may seek their own AI tools, fragmenting your security posture.
- Data Gaps: You lose the chance to monitor usage organization-wide and learn where training or permissions need adjusting.
Braden recommends a strategic but comprehensive rollout:
- Assess your Microsoft 365 tenant.
- Fix security gaps and align permissions.
- Enable Copilot broadly once controls are in place.
- Train everyone to use Copilot effectively.
This approach reduces risk and keeps your sensitive data inside your secure Microsoft 365 environment. The result is faster adoption, better ROI, and safer AI use across the organization.
Braden is ready to guide you through a secure rollout that protects your business while unlocking AI’s full potential.
