We assess your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment, identify exposed sensitive data, and deliver a prioritized action plan — so you can adopt AI with confidence, not anxiety.

You Don't Know What's Exposed in Your Cloud Environment

Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace has been accumulating permissions, shared links, and external access for years. Files shared with 'anyone with the link' from 2019 are still public. Former employees still have access. Sensitive data — client SSNs, financial records, stored credentials — sits in folders with no access controls.

For a 30-person company, the average cloud environment has 200+ misconfigured sharing permissions. Each one is an open door for data exfiltration, compliance violations, or ransomware entry.

Real-World Example

A 45-person accounting firm in Richardson: discovered during our audit that 3 former employees still had full access to client tax documents in SharePoint. Over 400 files containing SSNs and financial records were shared via public links — accessible to anyone for over 2 years.

Result: We identified 23 critical security gaps, locked down all exposed data within 48 hours of the report, and built a compliance remediation roadmap that satisfied their SOX audit requirements.

FAQ

AI Data Audit FAQ

We offer three flat-fee tiers: Essentials ($2,500) covers core security assessment for teams under 25 users, Professional ($5,000) adds compliance analysis and AI opportunity mapping for teams of 25–100, and Enterprise ($8,500) includes full compliance audit, executive briefing, and implementation roadmap for 100+ users. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

Read-only admin access to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment. We use secure API connections — no agents installed on your machines, no passwords stored, no disruption to your team's work. Access is revoked immediately after the audit completes.

Yes. We use read-only API access — we can see configurations and metadata but cannot modify, copy, or download your actual files or emails. All findings are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we delete all scan data within 30 days of delivering your report.

That's valuable information too. The audit gives you a clear, prioritized list of what to fix before adopting AI — and many of those fixes (permission cleanup, MFA enforcement, data organization) improve your security regardless of AI. Most businesses can address the critical items within 30–60 days.
