## Summary

Your IT company should already manage AI tool use and data leaks. If they do not, client records from Microsoft 365 or vendor invoices sit exposed.

## What Bellwether says it owns

- Bellwether writes the AI use rule, applies the Microsoft 365 and device controls the tenant actually supports, and treats a departure as a disable-and-wipe, not a conversation three weeks later.

## Claims in the article

- No written rule for which AI tools are allowed with client or financial data
- Microsoft 365 has no restriction on OAuth apps or third-party AI add-ins
- Company devices have no browser or endpoint control around those sites
- Departures still leave mail and files on the laptop that walked out
