AI can be fast—but is it secure?

Microsoft and other providers follow a shared responsibility model:

  • They secure the infrastructure.
  • You secure your data, access, and usage.

Here’s what to focus on:

  • Identity & Access Management: Who can use Copilot, and what can they see?
  • Prompt Hygiene: What are you typing into Copilot? Avoid sensitive data unless your environment is secure.
  • Model Access: Know what Copilot can reach—and what it can’t.

After reading about security risks, one of our clients asked us to remove AI from their environment. That’s a valid concern. But blocking AI isn’t enough. Your team needs to recognize AI tools, use them safely, and follow your policies.

We also recommend training your team on:

  • AI concepts (probabilistic vs. deterministic)
  • Media literacy
  • Effective questioning
  • Cybersecurity basics

Why it matters for staffing

Your ATS might use AI. Make sure you understand how—and that applicants know what’s happening. Staffing decisions affect real lives, so your AI strategy needs real guardrails.
