If your current policy on AI is “don’t use it,” it’s time for a rethink.

Small businesses increasingly use tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, GPT-based services, and low-code platforms. However, without clear guidelines, teams may use these tools in ways that create risk or confusion.

What to Update:

  • Define which tools are approved for work use
  • Clarify how sensitive data should be handled in AI prompts
  • Add a contact person for exceptions or questions
  • Ensure storage and classification policies apply to AI-generated content

Why It Matters:

Even informal policies need to evolve. A simple one-page update to your handbook or SOP can prevent misuse and support safe adoption.
