AI Governance & Security
Keep your data secure.
Know exactly who has access to what – and build solid foundations for Copilot.
The Problem
Most businesses don't know what's exposed until something goes wrong.
Permissions drift. External sharing happens. Sensitive data sits unlabelled. One wrong click and client files are exposed to the wrong people. You find out during an audit – or worse, after a breach.
Remote working
Do you have employees working from home using their own devices? Do you know what data they’re accessing and how it’s protected?
Asset management
Do you know what your most important assets are and how you’re protecting them? Could you list them right now?
Breach detection
How would you know if you’ve been breached? Would you find out in minutes, days, or weeks?
Layers of protection
What layers of protection do you have in place? Are they working together or creating gaps?
Employee education
Do your employees know how they can help protect your business? Would they recognise a phishing attempt?
Business continuity
If something went wrong tomorrow, could your business keep running? How long would recovery take?
The Copilot Problem
Copilot sees everything. Is that okay?
When you turn on Copilot, it indexes your entire Microsoft 365 environment. Every document. Every email. Every Teams message. If your permissions are a mess, Copilot will surface files people shouldn’t see.
This isn’t a reason to avoid AI. It’s a reason to get your house in order first. That’s what we help you do.
Before: The risk
“Show me the latest HR documents” returns salary data to someone who shouldn’t see it.
After: The confidence
Permissions are clean. Data is structured. Copilot only surfaces what each person should see.

We had a phishing attack and we were really concerned. We called Appetite for Business who immediately took the appropriate action, identified the source and isolated the issue. They took control of the situation and made my business safe again which was very reassuring. Now we can get on with our work. The service is excellent.
