Copilot made safe, then made useful
We design, secure and run AI for your business, with a clear strategy, sound governance and outcomes you can measure.
AI can double your efficiency, or double your risk
Most organisations have already started with AI. Far fewer have the governance to match. The result is shadow AI tools with no oversight, GDPR and audit failures, and boards asking for a return while projects stall.
We help you adopt AI responsibly, in line with your goals, without compromising security or trust. Our advice is vendor-neutral, and it fits the IT you already have.
What's included
- Readiness and strategy workshops to assess use cases, data maturity and priorities
- AI risk and compliance reviews covering data leakage and regulatory exposure
- Responsible AI frameworks with policies, controls and governance
- Secure Microsoft Copilot rollouts, with value tracking
- Cloud Shield 365 guardrails for identity, monitoring and compliance reporting
What you walk away with, within a week

AI adoption with Nostra, in plain English
Our AI & Copilot service designs, secures and runs AI for your business: a clear strategy, sound governance and outcomes you can measure. The advice is vendor-neutral — Microsoft Copilot or third-party tools — and it fits the IT you already have. Most organisations have already started with AI; far fewer have the governance to match, and the result is shadow AI tools with no oversight, GDPR and audit failures, and boards asking for a return while projects stall.
Start with the free AI Readiness Audit
Within a week you get an opportunity map (two or three AI use cases with a clear return), a risk check covering GDPR, GxP and financial governance, a roadmap from pilot to governance to scale, and a board-ready debrief your leadership team can act on. Take the three-minute readiness assessment or book the audit.
Governance built in
We put responsible AI frameworks in place — policies, controls and governance aligned with GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 and emerging AI regulation — then roll out securely with Cloud Shield 365 guardrails for identity, monitoring and compliance reporting, with value tracking so you can show the return.
Who it's for
CEOs and COOs who want clarity on return, CFOs who need proof of value, and IT leaders who must protect data and reputation — including Irish financial services, pharma and healthcare organisations. Nostra is a certified Microsoft partner and ISO 27001 certified, with 24/7 SOC coverage watching over your data.
AI & Copilot questions
What is the AI Readiness Audit?
A free audit that finds your highest-value AI use cases, flags the compliance risks and maps out how to scale AI safely. Within a week you get an opportunity map, a risk check, a roadmap and a board-ready debrief.
Is Microsoft Copilot safe to roll out?
Not automatically. Copilot surfaces whatever your permissions allow, so over-shared data and misconfigured access become visible fast. We secure the rollout first — governance, policies and Cloud Shield 365 guardrails — then switch it on with value tracking.
What is shadow AI and why does it matter?
Shadow AI is staff using AI tools without oversight. It creates GDPR and audit exposure your business can't see. We replace it with a responsible AI framework: clear policies, approved tools and controls that satisfy your board and your auditors.
Do you only work with Microsoft AI tools?
No. Our advice is vendor-neutral and covers Microsoft Copilot and third-party AI tools alike. We are a certified Microsoft partner with direct Copilot and enterprise AI experience, but the strategy starts from your use cases, not a product.
How do we get started with AI?
Three steps: assess (your risk profile, use cases and data landscape), plan (a prioritised, compliant adoption plan), then enable and govern (AI switched on securely with Cloud Shield 365, with minimal disruption). The free AI Readiness Audit is the first step.
What does AI adoption cost?
The AI Readiness Audit is free. After that, every engagement is scoped around what you actually need before we quote — see how our pricing works.
