Your competitors are already using AI assistants, automation, and intelligent agents. The question isn’t whether to adopt AI—it’s how to do it safely. BMS Cyber Defence makes AI adoption secure, compliant, and stress-free for UK SMEs.
AI is transforming how we work, but it’s also a new playground for attackers. Tools like agentic AI—which can autonomously browse the web, manage calendars, and run system commands—are powerful, but they represent a “double-edged sword”.If misconfigured, an AI assistant isn’t just a helper; it’s a privileged insider that can be socially engineered via prompt injection or exposed to the public internet.
Traditional cyber security focuses on defending networks, servers, and databases. AI security requires a different approach entirely.
Empower your team with Microsoft Copilot while maintaining absolute control. We secure your AI deployment through scope-limited permissions, read-only access, and hardened prompt-injection defense.
Ensure total compliance with industry standards using our custom risk registers and monitoring. Innovate confidently with a security-first AI strategy.
Our AI Security Advisory will produce a Copilot specific policy document, a configuration checklist, and a monitoring dashboard that integrates with Azure Sentinel.
Tailored training delivered online or in-person for leadership teams, IT staff, developers, and employees using AI tools.
We deliver to groups of any size and can create bespoke materials featuring your branding. Training sessions can be bite-size, with follow-up resources provided.
Make sure your team understands how to use AI tools safely, recognise threats, protect sensitive data, and avoid costly mistakes before they happen.
We keep things simple and offer bespoke pakages to our varied clients.
1. Discovery Call: We learn about your AI stack, business goals, and regulatory constraints.
2. Tailored Proposal: A clear scope, timeline, and deliverables are sent for your approval.
3. Implementation & Handover: Our engineers execute the plan, provide documentation, and train your team. Ongoing support options are available on demand.
We collaborate closely with you throughout the entire design and development process, ensuring your vision is brought to life while exceeding your expectations.
Why BMS Cyber Defence?
We Specialize in SME Reality
Large consultancies design for enterprise budgets and enterprise teams. We design for businesses like yours—practical solutions that work with the resources you actually have.
Local, Accessible, Human
Based in Telford, Shropshire, we serve SMEs across the UK. You’ll speak with the same people throughout—no offshore call centers, no ticket queues. Just expert advice when you need it.
Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 can access every email, SharePoint document, OneDrive file, and Teams message in your tenant unless explicitly restricted. That includes HR records, financial reports, customer personal data, and proprietary IP.
Most organisations enable it tenant-wide without configuring sensitivity labels, DLP policies, or permission scoping first—meaning any employee can ask Copilot to summarise confidential documents they shouldn’t have access to. We assess your data landscape, identify oversharing risks, and implement controls before rollout—not after a data breach.
If you’re using the free version of ChatGPT for general queries—probably not. But if you’re using ChatGPT Enterprise, uploading business documents, building custom GPTs, or integrating AI into internal workflows, then yes—you need a security review.
Data uploaded to AI platforms may be used for training unless explicitly disabled in enterprise agreements. Under UK GDPR Article 5(1)(c), you must ensure only necessary data is processed—”we don’t know what it can access” is not compliant.
Yes, if not managed properly. GitHub Copilot suggestions are based on patterns from public repositories—if developers paste proprietary code or secrets into comments/prompts, you’ve potentially exposed them.
Additionally, Copilot can suggest insecure code patterns or outdated dependencies if not reviewed. We help implement pre-commit hooks for secrets detection, usage policies for what code can/cannot be shared, and code review processes that account for AI-introduced vulnerabilities. OWASP Top 10 for LLMs identifies these as critical supply chain risks.
Typically 1–2 days for a focused AI security audit, with a written report and remediation roadmap delivered within a week. Microsoft Copilot pre-deployment assessments can be completed in 2–3 days.
Larger implementations, CI/CD pipeline reviews, or multi-system environments may take longer. We’ll scope it properly after an initial consultation.
No. While the OpenClaw guide demonstrates our technical depth, our services apply to any AI deployment: cloud-based platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot), automation tools (Make, Zapier, n8n), coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Tabnine), and custom AI integrations via API. The frameworks (OWASP, NIST, NCSC, ISO 42001) apply universally
Three main frameworks: NCSC Guidelines for Secure AI System Development (international best practice), DSIT’s AI Cyber Security Code of Practice (voluntary but increasingly expected), and ICO guidance on agentic AI under UK GDPR (legally binding).
For personal data processing, UK GDPR Articles 5 (data minimisation), 25 (privacy by design), 32 (security measures), and 35 (DPIA) all apply.
The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will add supply chain obligations for MSPs and their clients. ISO/IEC 42001 provides an international AI management system standard. We help you navigate all of it.
We implement data protection by design using UK GDPR principles: purpose limitation (AI only accesses data for defined tasks), data minimisation (least privilege access), storage limitation (retention policies), and security measures (encryption, access controls, logging).
For Microsoft Copilot, this means configuring sensitivity labels so AI cannot surface HR records, financial data, or customer PII in chat responses. For self-hosted agents, this means scoping API permissions and implementing HITL approval for actions involving personal data.
Security is a journey, not a destination. AI models, platforms, and threats evolve weekly. An Agentic AI tool that was secure last month may have new capabilities or vulnerabilities today.
We offer Ongoing AI Governance as an advisory service to keep you updated on new UK regulations, such as the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, and we help you refresh your AI risk registry every 6 or 12 months.
This ensures your Safe AI posture doesn’t decay as your developers and employees adopt more advanced tools.
