Secure use of AI

Security in the use of AI: make the most of it without exposing yourself

Your people already use AI, whether you have it under control or not. They paste text into a chatbot, try generative AI assistants, upload documents to have them summarized. The risk is not in the tool, it is in what gets given to it without thinking: customer data, code, confidential information that leaves your control in one click. Security in the use of AI brings order to that: it discovers which tools are really used, prevents sensitive information from escaping towards them and sets clear rules of use, so that artificial intelligence adds value without becoming a leak.

Secure use of AI in your company, managed, across all of Spain.

Why

AI is already inside, with or without permission

The problem is not artificial intelligence, it is using it without thinking about what gets given to it. And that already happens in your company, whether you know it or not.

Your people already use it

With permission or without it, AI is already part of your team's day to day. Shadow AI is not the future, it is the present.

What is given to it, is gone

Pasting customer data or code into a public chatbot can mean taking it out of your control forever.

You do not know what is used

How many AI tools touch your data today is a question almost no one can answer.

Banning it does not work

Blocking it outright does not stop the use, it only hides it and makes it more dangerous. Better to bring order to it.

What is included

Order, not prohibition

To make the most of generative AI without it being a hole, three things are needed: knowing what is used, setting rules and preventing sensitive data from escaping.

Discover shadow AI

See which AI tools are really used in your company, the approved ones and the ones that are not.

Prevent data leakage

Keep sensitive information from leaving towards AI tools, just as it is watched in email.

Clear usage policies

Simple rules on what can and cannot be given to AI, easy to understand and follow.

Assistants under control

Govern what data the integrated assistants access, like Copilot, so they do not expose too much.

Usage monitoring

Follow how AI is used and warn when something goes outside what was agreed.

Training for your people

So the team knows what is safe to give to AI and what is not, because the final decision is theirs.

The approach

See in order to be able to protect

You cannot protect what you cannot see, and AI risks start precisely in what you do not control. That is why the first thing is to discover which AI tools are already used and what data touches them. With that picture, clear rules are set, neither a flat no that no one follows nor a free-for-all, and the control is put in place that prevents sensitive information from escaping towards them.

From there it is continuous monitoring, the same that our SOC operates, Sondriva: following how AI is used, adjusting the rules when new tools appear and warning when something goes outside what was expected.

Ban or govern

Close the door or set rules

There are two reactions to AI. One scares the problem away without solving it; the other puts it in your favor.

Ban it and look the other way

AI is blocked by internal memo and that is that. The use does not stop, it hides: people reach for their phone or personal accounts, and now you neither see it nor control it. The risk remains, but in the dark.

Govern the use

You accept that AI is used, you give a safe way to do it and you set limits where they matter. It is the governance of AI use: people make the most of the tool, you keep control and the data does not escape.

Not to be confused

Protecting the use is not certifying or complying

AI security appears in several places in our catalog, and it is worth not confusing them, because each one solves something different. ISO 42001 certifies that you have an AI management system in order. The AI Act is about complying with the European regulation when you develop or use high-risk AI. And AI and LLM pentesting attacks your models to see if they break.

This page is about the everyday: that your people use artificial intelligence without a piece of data escaping or a risk getting in. The four complement each other, but this is the practical one, the one that prevents the scare while the others certify, comply and test.

When

When you need it

Your people already rely on AI

The team uses chatbots and assistants daily and there is no rule or anyone watching what gets given to them.

You handle sensitive data

Customer data, code or confidential information passes through your hands and cannot end up in a public chatbot.

You are going to set up an assistant

You want to deploy your own AI assistant or a Copilot and you need it not to expose data it should not.

The AI Act applies to you

The regulation or your own ISO 42001 asks you to demonstrate that the use of AI is under control.

Method

How we put it in order

01

Discover

We see which AI tools are already used and what data touches them, the approved and the shadow AI.

02

Define

We set clear rules of use, neither a no that no one follows nor a free-for-all, designed for your reality.

03

Protect

We put in place the control that prevents sensitive information from escaping towards AI tools.

04

Monitor

We follow how it is used, adjust when new tools appear and train your people.

Fits with

One more piece of your defense

Protecting the use of AI shares mechanisms with email security, because both are about keeping sensitive data from escaping, and it is operated by the same continuous monitoring of our SOC, Sondriva. The people side is reinforced by awareness, because in the end whoever decides what to give to AI is someone on the team.

And it leans on the formal side: ISO 42001 and the AI Act set the framework, and AI and LLM pentesting tests the models. This is the part that protects real use, where things actually happen.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is shadow AI?+

Shadow AI is the use of artificial intelligence tools by your people without the company knowing or controlling it, like pasting information into a public chatbot. The risk is that sensitive data leaves your control without anyone noticing.

Do I have to ban tools like ChatGPT?+

No. Banning them outright, whether ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini, does not stop the use, it hides it and makes it more dangerous. The idea is to put it in order: know what is used, set clear rules on what can and cannot be given to it, and prevent sensitive data from escaping. That way you make the most of AI without exposing yourself.

Is this the same as ISO 42001 or the AI Act?+

No, they are different things that complement each other. ISO 42001 certifies that you have an AI management system in order, the AI Act is about complying with the European regulation, and AI pentesting attacks your models. This page is about protecting day-to-day use, so your people use AI without leaking data.

Does it protect assistants like Copilot?+

Yes. When you integrate an AI assistant into your company, you have to govern what data it accesses and what it can do with it, so it does not expose information to the wrong people. That is part of protecting the use of AI.

How does it prevent data leakage to AI?+

With the same ideas as the prevention of data leakage in email: you define what sensitive information is and watch that it does not leave towards AI tools, warning or blocking when someone tries to send it.

Is it suitable for an SME?+

Yes. In fact it is where it is needed most, because people already use AI on their own and there is usually no one bringing order. It adapts to the size and to the tools you really use.
