Copilots for Everything!

Microsoft 365 CoPilot and Windows CoPilot are powerful tools, but let’s keep it real—they’re not going to magically solve every problem. Their true value lies in freeing you up to focus on the big picture by taking over those repetitive, time-consuming tasks. Whether it’s summarising meetings, analysing data, or organising your email overload, CoPilot works across Word, Excel, Teams, and Outlook to handle the small stuff that eats up your time.

Why Every Business Needs an AI Policy

As AI tools become more deeply embedded in the way we work, having a clear, actionable AI policy isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential. AI has tremendous potential to transform operations, improve efficiencies, and drive innovation. But along with the benefits come risks, including data privacy challenges, ethical considerations, and compliance requirements. This is why businesses need an AI policy: a structured framework that ensures safe, transparent, and responsible AI usage while meeting New Zealand’s legal and industry standards.

It’s not just about cost—it’s about functionality, fit, and the real impact on your team’s day-to-day.

Key Concerns for Business Owners Rolling Out AI (Like CoPilot)

AI tools like Microsoft CoPilot offer immense potential for businesses, from streamlining operations to enhancing decision-making. However, jumping into AI without careful planning can lead to missteps that may undermine its value. To avoid common pitfalls, business owners need to think beyond the initial installation and focus on managing risks and preparing their teams. Here’s what to consider before introducing CoPilot—or any AI—into your business.

When your sensitive data surfaces online, you need to know first

Ever wondered where lost data or stolen credentials end up? The dark web—an unregulated corner of the internet often associated with cybercrime—is a marketplace for stolen information. For businesses, failing to monitor the dark web can mean missed warning signs of data breaches and potential exposure to criminal threats. Let’s dive into why dark web monitoring matters and how it can help keep your company safe.

Paranoia can be your best asset—if it’s Zero Trust

In a Zero Trust model, trust is a privilege that has to be earned, repeatedly. It’s a simple but profound rule: assume that every user, every device, and every connection is potentially hostile until verified otherwise. Unlike traditional security that trusts the network perimeter, Zero Trust keeps your data safe by continuously verifying each access request. It’s about making sure that only the right people and devices get the right level of access, every single time.

Protecting Business Data in the Palm of Your Hand

As more employees use mobile devices to access company resources, protecting business data on these devices has become essential. With solutions like Microsoft 365’s Basic Mobility and Security and Addigy for Apple, companies can establish secure, managed access across iOS, Android, and Windows. MDM policies allow businesses to protect data on both personal and company-owned devices, offering critical safeguards wherever work happens.

If you don’t trust anything by default, you have a massively reduced attack surface

In today’s complex digital landscape, applications are everywhere. From cloud-based systems to third-party services, applications are vital to modern business operations. However, every application represents a potential gateway for cyber threats if not properly secured. This is where Zero Trust principles come into play, ensuring that even trusted applications are continuously verified.
