Someone in accounting is already pasting client numbers into a public chatbot to save an hour, and nobody in IT knows it's happening. Multiply that across a firm of 50 or more people and the exposure adds up fast, while the formal AI project sits stalled because legal is still waiting on rules nobody's written yet.

The outcomeA practical governance model gets put in place and actually communicated: what data is allowed into an AI tool, what a tool can decide on its own, what still needs a human, and how the firm keeps an eye on it going forward. Teams move faster once the rules stop being a guessing game.

What you get

An acceptable-use and data-handling policy sized for a firm this size, not a Fortune 500 template
Data classification simple enough that people actually use it, plus a list of approved tools
Decision-authority tiers spelling out what runs on its own and what needs a human to sign off
A lightweight way to keep an eye on ongoing use without hiring a compliance team
A quarterly review so the framework doesn't go stale the first time a new tool shows up
