Getting Your Data Ready for AI

Securing the foundations of AI

A Peer Roundtable for Higher Education, Housing, Local Government and Third Sector Leaders, Hosted with Newcastle University

 Newcastle University
23rd September 2026 | 1pm – 4.30pm 
Lunch and networking included
 

AI is already being used across your organisation. Is your data ready for it? Questions we're hearing regularly include:

  • •    Do we know who has access to sensitive information?
  • •    Are our Microsoft 365 permissions under control?
  • •   Can we confidently use AI with the data we hold?
  • •    Where are our biggest governance and compliance risks?
  • •    How do we balance innovation with security and accountability?

AI isn't creating these challenges. It's exposing them.
