AI is Moving Fast – Is Your Data Security Ready? - ivision

John Oppel Field CTOivision — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 19:41:54 GMT

AI is no longer an initiative you can put off. It is already part of the culture of how employees search for information, analyze data, and make decisions. From Copilot to custom AI workloads, organizations are moving quickly to capture value while they mitigate the risks of shadow AI within the organization. This is happening so quickly that often data security and robust governance programs can’t keep up. That’s where the need for a responsible AI program comes in.

If your company’s position is, “We want to use AI, but we are not confident that our data is ready, protected, or secured well enough to do it safely,” you are right to be cautious.

The Risk of AI Oversharing Sensitive Information is Real

AI doesn’t create new data risk – it simply amplifies existing ones. When organizations begin enabling AI at scale, we consistently see the same challenges:

Limited visibility into sensitive data and where it lives
Inconsistent data protection controls and policies across platforms
Increased risk of data leakage, loss, or exfiltration
Increased risk insider by oversharing
Compliance gaps to meet regulatory requirements
Stale data decreasing AI accuracy and trust

In many cases, security teams already know these gaps exist, but now it has become impossible to ignore with the proliferation AI tools in the wild. The real challenge isn’t whether or not AI is secure – it’s whether your data foundation is secure enough to support that AI journey.

Where to Get Started

Develop clarity and alignment with your AI and security goals.

How does data security map to real AI use cases?
Which controls matter the most?
How do you define where to increase controls without slowing innovation?
How do you prove you are making progress to leadership and regulatory agencies?

Without a clear strategy, teams can easily over-engineer policies in some areas while leaving critical gaps in others.

This is exactly the problem Microsoft Purview is designed to solve, but it needs to be implemented with intention to effectively solve your security and AI goals.

Casey’s Career Journey

I stumbled into the staffing/recruiting industry while I was working on an MBA (which I didn’t finish), and spent the last 15 years of my career in placement services, 13 of which has been heavily focused in the technology arena. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with both Courtney and Jasmine at a previous firm, and had heard nothing but great things about ivision prior to meeting the leadership team, so when I made the decision that I was ready for something new last year, this opportunity was #1 on my list.

Moving from Microsoft Enterprise Agreements to CSP - ivision

Microsoft licensing and renewals have become more and more complex over the years. It’s harder to manage with the constant changes and updates to licensing product capabilities and pricing updates. What was once a routine renewal conversation is now tied to broader questions around cost control, security, productivity, and long-term strategy – all things that can greatly impact a company’s innovation roadmap. Recent changes to the M365 pricing SKUs and their partner model is amplifying that reality. For business leaders, the real question isn’t what has changed, it’s how to respond without disruption, overspending, or missed opportunities.
