AI at work,
safely sorted.
How your people can use AI without client data leaking, and how web filtering keeps only work traffic on your network. Written for directors, without jargon.
AI at work. Without your data walking out the door.
Your people already use AI, often on a free account and often with customer data in it. We roll out AI safely across the company, and your next-generation firewall makes sure only work traffic leaves the network.

One business AI, set up properly
Together we choose an AI tool on a business contract, so your data isn't used to train models. Everyone signs in with their company account.
- 02
Unapproved AI blocked
Your FortiGate recognises AI services by name. Anything you haven't approved is closed off, even when someone tries a personal account.
- 03
Data leaks stopped
Files with customer, staff or financial data are recognised and stopped before they leave the network.
- 04
Work traffic only
We filter the web by category. Business apps get priority, while streaming and social media are blocked or limited to set break times. Gambling, adult content and other unsafe sites always stay out. So does crypto-mining: hidden code that silently harvests your computers' resources without you knowing, making everything sluggish.

A monthly overview
A clear report: which AI tools people tried, what was stopped and where the bandwidth goes. Oversight, not surveillance.
Transparent to your people and set up in line with POPIA, with a clear policy everyone can read.
Operational clarity. Zero risk to operations.
No vendor pushiness and no heavy disruption. We check your environment against the four pillars, exactly where businesses go down: your firewall and network traffic, the protection on your laptops and email, sign-in to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and whether your backups actually restore. You get clear answers on POPIA section 19, without risking downtime.
Book a no-obligation IT review- On-site or cloud architecture review (60 min)A walk through your comms room, including UPS and generator cutover and offline backups, or a whiteboard session for cloud-first teams. We look at recovery times, access controls and single points of failure.
- POPIA and cloud tenant check (remote)Your Microsoft 365 and Entra ID setup, remote access VPNs, open firewall forwards, laptop encryption with BitLocker and Intune, and your cloud backups, checked against POPIA section 19.
- 7-day passive traffic audit (optional)A passive FortiGate sensor listens to your network traffic for a week and finds rogue devices, unauthorised data streams and overloaded links. Zero downtime.
Book your no-obligation IT review.
Whether you want to tidy up scattered IT, secure your network or bring everything under 24/7 oversight, we'd be glad to talk it through.
