Governance
Teams adopt tools faster than leadership can set policies.
ITECS defines approved use cases, data rules, human review paths, and operating ownership before AI spreads.
AI Data Audit
The AI Data Readiness Audit
Is your data secure enough for AI? Get a comprehensive, flat-fee audit of your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment to identify security risks and automation opportunities in exactly 7 days.
Before you can use AI safely, you need to know what shape your data is in. Our AI Data Readiness Audit gives Dallas businesses a clear picture of their security posture, data organization, and automation opportunities in exactly 7 days. We assess your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment, identify exposed sensitive data, and deliver a prioritized action plan — so you can adopt AI with confidence, not anxiety.
The Stakes
AI adoption fails without governance, security, and operations.
Most organizations do not need another disconnected AI experiment. They need a managed operating model that tells people what is approved, where data can go, which workflows deserve investment, and who owns reliability after launch.
ITECS Position
Managed Intelligence applies ITECS's 24-year managed IT and cybersecurity operating model to AI systems, prompts, agents, connectors, and employee adoption.
02
Security
Sensitive data moves into public prompts, unmanaged plugins, and disconnected workspaces.
ITECS brings managed-IT discipline to access, identity, data handling, and vendor selection.
03
ROI
AI experiments consume subscriptions and meetings without a measurable operating case.
ITECS starts with workflows, cost of delay, and measurable outcomes before recommending build work.
04
Integration
Useful pilots stall when they have to connect with Microsoft 365, CRM, service, or finance systems.
ITECS designs automation around the systems, permissions, approvals, and support model already in place.

You Don't Know What's Exposed in Your Cloud Environment
Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace has been accumulating permissions, shared links, and external access for years. Files shared with 'anyone with the link' from 2019 are still public. Former employees still have access. Sensitive data — client SSNs, financial records, stored credentials — sits in folders with no access controls.
For a 30-person company, the average cloud environment has 200+ misconfigured sharing permissions. Each one is an open door for data exfiltration, compliance violations, or ransomware entry.
Real-World Example
A 45-person accounting firm in Richardson: discovered during our audit that 3 former employees still had full access to client tax documents in SharePoint. Over 400 files containing SSNs and financial records were shared via public links — accessible to anyone for over 2 years.
Result: We identified 23 critical security gaps, locked down all exposed data within 48 hours of the report, and built a compliance remediation roadmap that satisfied their SOX audit requirements.

FAQ
AI Data Audit FAQ
How much does the AI Data Readiness Audit cost?
We offer three flat-fee tiers: Essentials ($2,500) covers core security assessment for teams under 25 users, Professional ($5,000) adds compliance analysis and AI opportunity mapping for teams of 25–100, and Enterprise ($8,500) includes full compliance audit, executive briefing, and implementation roadmap for 100+ users. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
What do you need access to for the audit?
Read-only admin access to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment. We use secure API connections — no agents installed on your machines, no passwords stored, no disruption to your team's work. Access is revoked immediately after the audit completes.
Is my business data safe during the audit?
Yes. We use read-only API access — we can see configurations and metadata but cannot modify, copy, or download your actual files or emails. All findings are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we delete all scan data within 30 days of delivering your report.
What if we're not ready for AI after the audit?
That's valuable information too. The audit gives you a clear, prioritized list of what to fix before adopting AI — and many of those fixes (permission cleanup, MFA enforcement, data organization) improve your security regardless of AI. Most businesses can address the critical items within 30–60 days.
