BYOAI stands for Bring Your Own AI. It happens when staff use free or public AI tools like ChatGPT for work tasks. While convenient, this can lead to:

• Data Leaks: Sensitive business information shared outside your secure environment.
• Compliance Issues: Breaching GDPR or industry regulations.
• Security Risks: Increased exposure to cyber threats.

Why it matters for SMEs:

‍Small businesses often lack dedicated IT teams, making them more vulnerable. Using Microsoft 365 Copilot ensures your AI tools are secure, compliant, and integrated with your existing systems—no extra risk, no extra hassle.
