Next steps

Recommended actions

  1. 01ChatGPT trains on data unless a business tier or opt-out is used. Verify which tier these users are on.
  2. 023 signup emails show people creating ChatGPT accounts with their work address. Those accounts live outside Entra, so leaving the company does not close them. Move users to the enterprise tier with SSO, or add a mail flow rule that flags vendor signups to the security team.
  3. 032 billing emails mean someone is paying for ChatGPT personally and expensing or absorbing it. Consolidate onto a company license where data terms are negotiated.
