Trust sits at the
centre of what we do.
Our clients share internal, commercially sensitive — and sometimes highly confidential — information with us. From the outset, our service has been designed to protect that information while still delivering fast, reliable outputs.
Powered by Microsoft 365 Business — enterprise security as standard
Stratiform AI operates on Microsoft 365 Business with Copilot — the same enterprise-grade platform used by thousands of regulated UK businesses. This means your data is processed and stored within Microsoft's independently certified infrastructure, not on consumer-grade or shared platforms. For sensitive and confidential client work, this provides a level of security assurance that most AI services cannot match.
Most AI platforms say your data won't be used for training.
That's not the same as your data being private.
When you use a standard AI platform — even one that promises not to train on your data — your information still passes through and exists within their online environment during the session. It is processed on their infrastructure, visible to their systems, and subject to their internal access policies. Not used for training does not mean not retained, not visible, or not at risk.
Before choosing any AI service for sensitive business information, you should ask: where exactly does my data go, who can see it during processing, and what controls exist over that environment? Most platforms cannot give you a clear answer. Stratiform AI can — because we operate within Microsoft 365 Business, a certified enterprise environment with independently verified security controls.
Stratiform AI uses Microsoft 365 Business with Copilot for AI-assisted processing of client work. This means your documents are handled within Microsoft's enterprise environment — the same infrastructure that financial services firms, healthcare organisations, and legal practices rely on daily. For sensitive or confidential work, this provides a level of assurance that consumer AI tools simply cannot offer.
We recommend that any business sharing sensitive information with an AI service asks these three questions: How is my data processed — through a public platform or a private enterprise environment? Who can see my data during and after processing? What independent certifications cover the infrastructure? Stratiform AI can answer all three clearly and in writing before any work begins.

AI is used strictly as a support tool — never as an unsupervised or autonomous decision-maker. Our primary AI tool is Microsoft Copilot, accessed at enterprise level within our Microsoft 365 Business environment. As usage and turnover grow, we will expand to additional enterprise AI platforms as appropriate, maintaining the same security and oversight standards throughout.
