Why is Ovida safer than using public AI tools?

A comparison of Ovida's enterprise approach with the risks of consumer AI tools.

Public, consumer-facing AI tools (like ChatGPT or similar) are convenient, but they weren't built with enterprise data security in mind. Using them for sensitive conversations creates real risks. Ovida is designed to handle those conversations safely.

The risks of public AI tools

When employees use freely available AI tools outside approved systems, organisations face:

• Data leakage. Sensitive information may be stored or reused in ways you can't control.

• Compliance gaps. Public tools rarely align with standards like GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2.

• No oversight. Leaders and IT teams can't monitor how or where these tools are being used.

• Trust concerns. Employees and clients may not know how their data is handled or who can access it.

This is often called the "shadow AI" problem: useful tools being used invisibly, with no governance.

How Ovida is different

Ovida is built for organisations from the ground up:

• Secure by design. Your data stays within our controlled environment, not in a general-purpose AI system.

• Compliance-ready. Aligned with leading security and privacy frameworks.

• Transparent oversight. Organisations can monitor usage rather than rely on individual discretion.

• Purpose-built for communication. Unlike general-purpose AI, Ovida focuses specifically on meetings and communication skills.
