AI DATA GOVERNANCE

Build a Governed Data Foundation for AI

AI tools rely on the access and permissions already in your environment. XTIUM AI Data Governance assesses exposure, deploys data classification and protection controls, remediates priority risks, and validates the results to create a more secure, governed foundation for AI adoption.

Schedule a Consultation

Move From Data Exposure to Governed AI Readiness

Establish control over how information is classified, protected, shared, and accessed before expanding the use of AI across your organization.
icon_magnifying_glass

Understand Your Exposure

Identify oversharing, inconsistent classification, protection gaps, and the repositories AI tools could surface to users.
simple_icon_quality_badge

Deploy Governance Controls

Implement sensitivity labels, foundational data loss prevention policies, sharing controls, audit capabilities, and alerting within your Microsoft 365 environment. 
icon_alert

Remediate Priority Risk

Address tenant-level exposure, deliver a pilot wave of content-level remediation, and prioritize the remaining work based on risk.
simple_icon_checklist

Validate the Result

Test enforced controls, verify label behavior, re-scan sharing exposure, and document what is live, staged, or awaiting a customer decision.

Your Data Governance Gaps Become AI Risks

AI can make existing oversharing, inconsistent permissions, and sensitive data easier to surface. Without clear visibility and enforceable controls, governance gaps can delay AI initiatives and increase security risk.

XTIUM helps organizations identify exposure, implement governance controls, and establish a more secure foundation for AI adoption.

From Data Exposure to Governed AI Readiness

XTIUM assesses your current data environment, implements agreed governance controls, remediates priority exposure, and validates the results. You gain a clear view of where you started, what changed, and what remains.
icon_question_mark_rev
Before XTIUM
xTium_icon_checkmark_rev
After Implementation
Sensitive information is inconsistently classified or unlabeled  A standardized sensitivity classification scheme is deployed 
DLP policies are incomplete, inactive, or untested  Foundational DLP policies are configured and validated 
Legacy links and broad permissions create oversharing risk  Priority sharing risks are addressed and remaining exposure is prioritized 
There is limited visibility into what AI can access and surface AI data-access risks are identified and documented 
Unsanctioned AI usage may go undetected Unsanctioned AI usage is assessed where supported by Microsoft licensing
Remediation priorities, remaining issues, and ownership are unclear Implemented controls, residual items, owners, and next steps are documented
The exact outcome depends on your environment, licensing, approved design, and agreed scope. XTIUM commits to the controls it implements and the evidence it produces.

What XTIUM Delivers

XTIUM combines assessment, implementation, remediation, and validation to establish a practical governance foundation within your Microsoft 365 environment.

Data Governance Assessment​

Evaluate your current classification, protection policies, sharing exposure, audit posture, identity controls, and AI data-access risks.
icon_file_folder

Sensitivity Classification

Deploy a standardized classification scheme that helps users and systems identify, handle, and protect sensitive information.

icon_security_shield_lock

Data Loss Prevention

Configure foundational DLP policies across agreed Microsoft 365 workloads to detect and control inappropriate data sharing. 
xTium_icons-01

Exposure Remediation

Apply tenant-level sharing controls, address priority risks, and create a prioritized backlog for remaining content-level remediation.
icon_eye_connected

AI Usage Visibility

Identify unsanctioned AI usage and associated data risks where supported by your Microsoft licensing.
icon_clipboard_check

Validation and Handover

Test implemented controls and document what was configured, what changed, what remains, and who owns each next step.

Choose the Right Starting Point

Whether you need to understand your exposure, establish foundational controls, or expand existing protection, choose the engagement that matches where you are today.

AI Data Access Risk Assessment

Understand what AI tools could access and surface before committing to implementation.

XTIUM evaluates your current data-governance posture, identifies oversharing and access risks, and documents which repositories AI could surface and to whom. You receive a prioritized view of your exposure and a practical path to remediation.

What you receive:

  • Starting-state governance assessment
  • AI data-access and repository analysis
  • Oversharing and permissions findings
  • Priority risk identification
  • Recommended remediation plan

Best for: Organizations that need to understand their current exposure, prioritize risk, or build a business case before implementing controls.

Important to know: This is an assessment engagement. It identifies and prioritizes risks but does not deploy or remediate governance controls.

Assess My Data Risk >

Purview Governance Baseline

Implement and validate foundational governance controls within your Microsoft 365 environment.

XTIUM assesses your starting position, designs the control set with your stakeholders, and deploys agreed classification, data loss prevention, sharing, audit, and alerting controls. Priority exposure is addressed, implemented controls are validated, and your team receives a documented record of what changed and what remains.

What you receive:

  • Starting-state assessment and gap report
  • Standardized sensitivity classification scheme
  • Foundational DLP policy configuration
  • Tenant-level sharing and exposure controls
  • Content-level remediation pilot
  • Prioritized remediation backlog
  • Control testing and validation evidence
  • As-built implementation and change records
  • Residual item list with owners and next steps
  • Documented handover and acceptance

Best for: Organizations preparing for AI adoption, responding to known governance gaps, or establishing stronger controls before an audit or compliance deadline.

Important to know: XTIUM applies environment-level controls and delivers an agreed pilot of content-level remediation. Broader content-level remediation remains with your team or can be scoped as a separate engagement.

Establish My Governance Baseline >

DLP Policy Deployment Sprint

Extend your existing governance foundation for an additional business need or regulatory framework.

XTIUM designs, deploys, and validates an expanded set of data loss prevention policies using the classification and control foundation already established in your environment.

What you receive:

  • Requirements and policy-design session
  • Expanded DLP policy set
  • Coverage for an agreed business need or regulatory framework
  • Policy testing and tuning
  • Validation evidence
  • Updated implementation and change records
  • Documented handover

Best for: Organizations that already have foundational classification and DLP controls in place and need to expand protection for another framework, business requirement, or AI rollout.

Important to know: This engagement assumes an established classification scheme and foundational DLP policy set. Organizations without that foundation should begin with the Purview Governance Baseline.

Not sure where to begin?

Choose the AI Data Access Risk Assessment if you need to understand your exposure, the Purview Governance Baseline if you are ready to implement controls, or the DLP Policy Deployment Sprint if you need to expand an existing governance foundation.
