AI Security Services for Business
Your team is already using AI. TANET’s AI security services make sure your company data is not going with it — and defend your network against the automated attacks that now hit every business.
Your staff adopted AI before your policy did
Employees paste customer lists, contracts, patient details, pricing, and source code into public AI tools because it saves them an hour. Almost none of them are trying to do anything wrong. Most companies have no policy, no approved tool, and no visibility into what has already left the building.
That is shadow AI, and it has become a common blind spot for small and mid-sized businesses. Once information is inside a consumer AI account, you no longer control where it is stored, who reviews it, or whether it trains the next model.
With our AI security services, TANET finds where AI is already in use on your network, puts sensible rules around it, and gives your team an approved way to use AI that does not put your data somewhere you cannot get it back.
What our AI security services cover
AI security is not a product you bolt on. It is policy, configuration, and monitoring across the systems your business already runs — which is why it belongs with the team that manages them.
Shadow AI security discovery
We identify which AI tools, browser extensions, and note-takers your staff are actually using, and which accounts they are signed in with.
AI data leak prevention
Controls that stop confidential data being pasted or uploaded into public models, with alerting on the accounts and files that matter most.
Approved AI setup
Business-tier AI tools configured properly — tenant controls on, retention set, and your prompts kept out of model training.
Identity & Microsoft 365 hardening
AI tools connect through accounts. We lock down sign-in, enforce MFA, and review which third-party apps have been granted access to your tenant.
Bot & automated attack defense
Protection in front of your websites and logins against credential stuffing, scrapers, and automated probing for unpatched software.
Backups you can restore
Because the fastest way back from any incident is a clean, tested restore. See our data backup solutions.
An AI use policy your team will follow
One page, in plain English: which tools are approved, what never gets pasted, and who to ask. Short enough that people actually read it.
Compliance alignment
Mapping AI use to the rules you already answer to, including HIPAA, client contracts, and cyber-insurance questionnaires.
How our AI security services work, step by step
No long discovery project. We start with what is already happening on your network, then fix the exposure in order of risk.
Find the AI in use
We inventory the AI tools, extensions, and connected apps already touching your data and accounts.
Rank the exposure
You get a plain-language list of what is at risk, what it would cost you, and what to fix first.
Lock it down
We restrict the risky tools, stand up an approved alternative, harden identity, and put bot protection in front of your logins.
Keep it that way
Ongoing monitoring, patching, backup checks, and regular reviews of the new AI tools your team has picked up.
Attackers automated first
A large share of the traffic hitting your website and your login pages is not human. Bots test stolen passwords, scrape your content, hunt for unpatched plugins, and probe your remote access — continuously, and at a scale no attacker could reach by hand.
- Credential stuffing — stolen passwords replayed against your Microsoft 365 and VPN logins
- AI-written phishing — clean grammar, right context, sent to your whole staff list
- Vulnerability scanning — automated hunting for the plugin or appliance you have not patched
- Content and data scraping — your site, pricing, and staff details harvested for targeting
- Fake form and account spam — junk that buries real leads and poisons your CRM
- Uninvited AI note-takers — bots joining meetings and recording them
We put protection in front of your sites and accounts, watch what gets through, and patch the things bots look for before they find them. Our AI security services pair this with ransomware protection and tested backups and you have the whole chain covered, not just the front door.
Managed AI security services vs. handling it yourself
| On your own | With TANET | |
|---|---|---|
| Knowing what AI staff use | Nobody has asked | Inventoried, then reviewed regularly |
| Data pasted into public AI | Trusted to good intentions | Restricted, with an approved tool in its place |
| AI tool configuration | Default settings, retention on | Business tenant, training opt-out, retention set |
| Bot and phishing pressure | Spam filter and hope | Filtering, MFA, bot protection, staff guidance |
| Patching what bots hunt for | When someone notices | Monitored and patched as part of managed IT |
| If something does get in | Improvised | Tested backups and a restore plan |
| Cost | Unpredictable project work | Flat-rate, built around your environment |
Who needs AI security services
If your staff use AI tools, or your business has a login page, AI-era risk already applies to you.
AI security services for regulated teams
Healthcare, legal, and financial offices handle data that must not end up in a public AI tool. Clear controls protect clients and your license.
Growing businesses
New hires bring their own AI habits. A simple policy and an approved tool keep growth from adding hidden risk.
Teams adopting Copilot or ChatGPT
Rolling out business AI, or buying AI IT services from a vendor, is the right moment to set permissions, retention, and data rules correctly from day one.
We align our AI security services with public guidance such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, translated into practical steps for small and mid-size businesses.

AI security services questions we get asked
What is AI security?
AI security is protecting your business from the risks that come with AI. That covers two things: controlling what company data goes into AI systems, and defending against attacks that use automation and AI to get in. Our AI security services keep both inside your managed IT and cybersecurity work rather than off to the side as a separate product.
What is shadow AI security?
Shadow AI is any AI tool, browser extension, or note-taker your staff use without approval. Shadow AI security means finding which ones are in use and which accounts they are signed in with, restricting the risky ones, and giving your team an approved option that does not train on your data.
Do we need AI security if we have not rolled out AI yet?
Usually yes. Staff sign up for free AI tools on their own, and attackers use automation whether or not you use AI. The first step is simply finding out what is already in use on your network — that answer surprises most owners.
Can you actually stop staff pasting confidential data into AI tools?
We reduce it substantially. We identify the tools in use, block or restrict the risky ones, give your team an approved option that does not train on your data, and set up alerting on the accounts and files that matter most. Combined with short, clear guidance, that removes most of the exposure. Anyone promising a hundred percent is selling you something.
Do your AI security services cover data privacy?
Yes. Most of the work is privacy: controlling what company data goes into AI tools, setting up business-tier tools with retention set and your prompts kept out of model training, and mapping AI use to HIPAA, client contracts, and cyber-insurance questionnaires.
How is this different from antivirus or a firewall?
Antivirus looks for malicious files on a device, and a firewall filters traffic. Neither one notices an employee pasting your client list into a chatbot, and neither one covers how AI-driven attacks are getting better at impersonating people. You need all of it working together, which is why AI security belongs with the team that manages your systems.
Getting started with AI security services
Will AI security work with Microsoft 365?
Yes, and that is normally where we start. Microsoft 365 is the account layer most AI tools connect through, so hardening sign-in, reviewing which third-party apps have been granted access, and setting retention and sharing correctly does the most good the fastest.
Which areas do your AI security services cover?
Greater Puget Sound and Seattle, the Portland metro, and Boise and the Treasure Valley. You get local techs who can come on site, backed by a 24/7 helpdesk.
How much do AI security services for business cost?
AI security is scoped into a flat-rate monthly plan during a free assessment. The price depends on your staff, devices, locations, and which services you choose, so you know the cost and coverage before you commit.
How do we get started?
Call the office nearest you or request an AI security review. We will look at which AI tools are in use, where your data is exposed, and what your backups actually cover, then give you a prioritized plan and a flat-rate price to fix it.
