Govern It.
AI Governance & Policy for Small & Mid-Size Businesses
AI is already being used throughout the workplace.
Employees may be using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, meeting assistants, and AI capabilities built into applications your business already owns.
Without clear guidance, employees are left to make their own decisions about what tools they can use, what information they can share, and when AI-generated content can be trusted.
ATCOM helps organizations establish a practical framework for responsible AI use — part of our AI services for small & mid-size businesses.
What Should an AI Policy Address?
An effective AI policy should provide clear guidance around areas such as:
- Approved and prohibited AI tools
- Confidential and sensitive company information
- Customer and employee data
- Intellectual property
- Appropriate business use
- Human review of AI-generated work
- Responsibility and accountability
- Approval of new AI tools and integrations
Governance Goes Beyond a Written Policy
AI governance also establishes who makes decisions about AI inside your organization. Businesses should have a process for answering questions such as:
- Who can approve a new AI application?
- Who reviews security and privacy concerns?
- What happens when an employee wants to connect an AI tool to company data?
- Who owns the AI policy?
- How often should approved applications and policies be reviewed?
ATCOM can help put that structure in place.
AI Policies Need to Evolve
AI is changing too quickly for a policy to be written once and forgotten. Applications change. Vendors introduce new capabilities. Employees discover new tools. Business use cases evolve.
Your AI governance framework should evolve with them.
