ChatGPT and Claude for business, set up safely
Your team is probably using ChatGPT or Claude already. We help you do it properly, on a business plan, with company sign-in and sensible rules about what goes in.
We're a security-first Perth team, so we set these tools up the way we'd want them in our own business. Then we stay on to keep an eye on things.

Quick answer
To use ChatGPT or Claude safely at work, move staff off personal accounts onto a business plan, connect sign-in to your Microsoft 365 accounts where the plan allows, confirm your data is kept out of model training, write a one-page AI use policy, and use Microsoft Purview or Defender to spot sensitive data heading to AI websites. StartCloud sets this up for Australian businesses with 5 to 50 staff, at a fixed price quoted after scoping.
Is this you?
You've got people using ChatGPT or Claude on personal accounts, and you'd rather it happened on your terms.
01
One business account, not twenty personal ones
Everyone works in a company account. When someone leaves, their access and their chats stay with the business.
02
Your data stays out of training
OpenAI and Anthropic don't train on business plan data by default. We check the settings and write them down for your records.
03
Sensitive files stay where they belong
On devices we manage, we can warn or block when someone pastes client or financial details into an AI website that isn't approved.
04
A policy people will read
One page, plain English: what's fine, what isn't, and who to ask when you're not sure.

Common questions
Questions about ChatGPT and Claude
Is it safe to use ChatGPT at work?
It can be, on a business plan with the right settings. Most of the risk comes from personal accounts and people pasting in client or financial details. A business plan, company sign-in and a few data rules deal with most of it.
Do ChatGPT and Claude train on our business data?
Not by default on their business plans. OpenAI and Anthropic both say business plan data isn't used to train their models unless you choose to share it. Free and personal accounts work differently, which is why we move people off them.
Should we use ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot?
It depends on the work. Copilot lives inside Outlook, Teams and your files. ChatGPT and Claude are strong for writing, analysis and research. Plenty of businesses use Copilot plus one of the others, and we'll help you work out what fits.
Which ChatGPT or Claude plan do we need?
For most businesses with 5 to 50 staff, an entry business plan is enough. Enterprise plans add controls such as automatic user provisioning, audit logs and custom data retention. We match the plan to the controls you need, and check the current plan details with you before you buy.
Can you stop staff pasting sensitive data into AI tools?
Yes, on devices we manage. Microsoft Purview can warn or block when someone pastes things like card numbers or tax file numbers into an AI website, and Defender for Cloud Apps can block AI apps you haven't approved.
What does it cost?
Our setup is a fixed price, quoted after a short scoping chat. ChatGPT and Claude licences are charged per user by OpenAI and Anthropic, and we'll show you those costs before anything is bought.
