What it changes for an SME
For an SME of 10 to 250 people, there is often no full-time CISO. According to Proofpoint, eight in ten security chiefs already manage AI risk without more budget or skills, and over 75% fear employees putting sensitive data into AI tools. Your real cost is time spent setting simple rules and the risk of an accidental leak, not a new security team. Treat AI as a data and accountability issue, not only as a way to save time.
What you can do
- List the AI assistants, copilots and chat tools your staff already use, including personal accounts.
- Ban customer, HR or financial data in any AI tool the company has not approved.
- Put AI use on the management agenda as a data-risk topic, not only as a productivity topic.
