AI Readiness

Ready for AI? Make sure your data is first.

AI assistants can see everything your users can see. We make sure that's the right amount — then help your team put AI to work.

AI doesn't break your permissions. It reveals them.

Copilot and other AI assistants answer from whatever a user can already open. If a payroll spreadsheet or a client file is overshared today, AI puts it one question away. Readiness means fixing access before you switch AI on — not after someone finds out.

What we cover

Everything AI touches, secured first.

Permissions & access

Overshared SharePoint sites, Teams, OneDrive links, and mailboxes found and fixed, with least-privilege access as the default.

Data classification

Sensitivity labels and data loss prevention in Microsoft Purview, so confidential files stay protected — including inside AI answers.

Identity & device controls

MFA, conditional access, and managed devices required before anyone reaches AI tools with company data.

Shadow AI discovery

Find the AI apps staff are already using, then approve, replace, or block them.

Platform selection

Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — matched to how your team works, the data involved, and your compliance obligations.

Adoption & training

Practical training on writing prompts, checking AI output, and what never goes into a prompt.

How it works

Five steps to safe adoption.

01

Permissions audit

Find overshared sites, folders, and mailboxes before an AI tool does.

02

Data discovery

Locate and label sensitive information so it stays where it belongs.

03

Acceptable-use policy

Clear rules for which tools staff can use, and with what data.

04

Pilot rollout

Start with a small group, measure, and adjust.

05

Ongoing governance

Access reviews and reporting as your AI use grows.

Beyond readiness

Putting AI to work.

Once the foundation is safe, we help you get real value from it — with the same team that runs your IT.

Use-case workshops

Find the repetitive work where AI actually saves time, ranked by value and risk.

Business AI deployment

Business and enterprise plans for Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT set up with single sign-on, admin controls, and retention settings that match your policies.

Connecting AI to your systems

AI connected to Microsoft 365 and your line-of-business apps, scoped to what each team needs and nothing more.

Policy & vendor review

An acceptable-use policy, a security review of each AI vendor, and the right contract terms where regulated data is involved.

Ongoing reporting

AI usage, access, and risk reviewed with you regularly, so governance keeps pace with adoption.

Who it's for

For organizations that want AI without the exposure.

Most teams are already using AI. The question is whether they're using it with your data, on your terms.

  • Planning to buy Microsoft 365 Copilot or another business AI tool
  • Staff already pasting work into free AI tools
  • Handling patient records, cardholder data, or client financials
  • Leadership asking for an AI policy or a list of approved tools

AI and regulated data

Healthcare and retail organizations have extra rules to follow. Protected health information should only reach an AI service covered by a business associate agreement, and cardholder data should stay out of AI tools entirely. We configure tools, labels, and policies to match.

GCS helps you implement and maintain technical controls. Compliance determinations remain with your organization and its assessors.
