Use AI Without Leaking Your Clients' Data

Four simple frameworks that let your team use AI confidently while keeping client, patient, and donor information locked down.

12 min readBeginnerFree PDF download

Right now, someone on your team is pasting client information into a free AI tool. Not out of malice, out of efficiency. And every paste could be feeding privileged, protected, or confidential data into a system you don't control and can't recall.

This guide gives you the fix: the Traffic Light Test for deciding what data can go where, the Vendor Interrogation for vetting any AI tool in six questions, Strip Before You Ship for sending less sensitive data in the first place, and the Privacy Perimeter for controls that hold even on sloppy days. Plus a week-by-week 30-day rollout you can run yourself.

Montalvo Corp helps law firms, medical practices, financial advisors, trades, and churches put AI to work without betting the business on it. No jargon, no fear-mongering, just decision rules your team will actually follow.
