IllustrativeA representative example of how CyberByte works and the outcomes we target — not an actual client result. Figures are indicative.
The challenge
Staff and senior students had started using Copilot and public AI tools widely, with no policy and no view of what data was flowing where. The board was concerned about children's data and privacy obligations but didn't want to ban tools that were genuinely helping teaching and learning.
The board asked for assurance on AI use after staff adopted Copilot and public chatbots.
What CyberByte did
A scoped, deliberate path to the outcome
No 200-page data dump — every step was prioritised, evidenced and written to be acted on.
Discovered sanctioned and shadow AI use across staff and students
Reviewed what data was flowing into AI tools and who could access outputs
Assessed the gap against ISO 42001 and emerging obligations
Wrote an acceptable-use policy staff and students would actually follow
Set a monitoring and review cadence to keep governance live
Measurable, evidenced, board-ready.
Shadow AI mapped
Full visibility of AI use across the school
Policy adopted
Acceptable-use policy approved by the board
Risk reduced
Data-exposure paths closed without banning tools
In a scenario like this, a school could adopt AI safely instead of banning it — with governance teachers will actually use and assurance for the board.
