AI Security
AI Security Toronto — Training, Assessments and AI Use Policies
AI security at Hero means three things: security training for the people who use AI tools, an AI security assessment of which tools are in use and what data goes into them, and a written AI use policy people can follow. Hero is based in Toronto and works with teams across Canada, in person in the GTA and online everywhere else.
Useful AI. Clear boundaries.
Who this is for
- Teams where staff already use ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or other AI tools
- Offices that handle client, patient, or employee information
- Leaders who want a documented "yes, like this" instead of a ban nobody follows
- Organizations that need a policy they can show a client who asks
Who this is not for
- Organizations that need a formal certification or compliance report — we will say so and point you to the right kind of specialist
- Anyone looking for legal advice — your lawyer or privacy officer owns that
The problem: AI is already in the office, the rules are not
- People use personal accounts for work
- Nobody knows what has been pasted in
- Banning AI pushes it underground
- Every vendor claims to be "secure"
What good looks like
- One approved tool, under company accounts
- A never-paste list everyone knows
- Access by role
- A person reviews anything that leaves the building
- A simple way to approve new tools
The three parts of AI security
| Part | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| AI security training | What a work account is for, what never gets pasted, how to strip identifiers, how to spot a manipulated document or prompt, and who to ask | Posted training prices |
| AI security assessment | Interviews, an anonymous staff survey, a review of admin settings, a sketch of where sensitive data goes, and ranked findings | C$1,500 (up to 20 staff) · C$3,500 (20–100 staff) |
| AI use policy | A plain-language policy, approved-tool list, and data rules based on the findings | Quoted after the assessment |
When you're ready, we can help put the agreed settings in place. That is only for clients who have completed the assessment.
What we say, and what we refuse to say
| We say | We don't say |
|---|---|
| Practical assessment | "Certified" |
| Written findings and a policy | "Compliant" |
| PIPEDA-aware guidance | Legal advice |
| Here is what to fix first | "You're fully secure" |
A practical playbook for ChatGPT and Copilot at work
- Approve one business-tier tool
- Turn off training on your data where the vendor allows it
- Publish a never-paste list: government ID numbers, banking details, passwords, health information, full confidential files
- Teach people to anonymize before asking for help
- Review connected apps and remove what nobody uses
- Revisit the policy every quarter
PIPEDA and AI — practical, not legal advice
Canada's private-sector privacy law expects organizations to protect personal information and be accountable for how it is used. In practice that means knowing which tools see personal information, limiting what goes in, and being able to explain it. Your privacy officer and counsel own the legal interpretation.
Three examples (illustrative scenarios, not client results)
- Toronto accounting firm — Staff use personal ChatGPT accounts. An assessment, a half-day security training, and a written policy move everyone onto one approved tool.
- Ontario clinic — A front-desk shortcut puts patient details in a free tool. The assessment says what to stop today; training and a policy give staff a safe way to get the same help.
- B2B services firm — DIY AI connectors have broad access to email and drive. A review lists what to keep, fix, or retire, with rules for approving new tools.
How we keep claims honest
- No client logos, testimonials, star ratings, or awards until they are real and the client agrees
- Example scenarios are labelled as illustrative composites, not client results
- Estimates are labelled as estimates; we measure with you before quoting any saving
- People stay responsible for decisions, advice, and anything a customer sees
FAQ — AI security
How much does an AI security assessment cost?
C$1,500 for up to 20 staff or C$3,500 for 20 to 100 staff, before tax. Security training uses posted training prices. A written policy is quoted after the assessment.
Is this a certification?
No. It is a practical assessment with written findings and a policy. If you need a formal certification, we will tell you and point you to the right kind of specialist.
Do you need access to our systems?
Only what you choose to share, with access you approve and can remove.
Can you train our staff on AI security only?
Yes. Security training can run on its own, as a half or full team day, or as a block inside other training.
