Monthly Client Calls
We are pleased to announce that, in addition to our Technology Business Reviews, we will be starting monthly client calls to keep you informed and engaged. Your account manager will be in touch soon to provide more details and schedule your first call. These sessions will be an excellent opportunity to discuss your needs, share updates, and ensure you are getting the most out of our services.
The Future of Secure AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming business operations, but its security is crucial. Secure AI involves strong measures to protect systems from threats, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. This is essential for protecting sensitive financial data, maintaining professional reputation, complying with regulations, preventing fraud, and enhancing client trust. A secure AI model would be something like Microsoft Copilot.
An AI policy provides a framework for ethical and secure use of AI, setting guidelines, identifying risks, ensuring compliance, and enhancing public trust. Open AI models like ChatGPT may pose privacy concerns due to their data handling practices. Microsoft Copilot emphasises data security and privacy, processing data within the secure boundaries of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
Approximately 80% of your team already uses AI, highlighting the need for a robust AI policy to secure both you and your clients’ data.
