1. Leakage of Confidential Information
Employees may unintentionally copy excerpts from contracts, projects, spreadsheets, or strategic data to “ask for help” from ChatGPT. By doing so, they are sending sensitive information to a public platform, outside the company’s control.
Risk: Corporate data may be stored on OpenAI’s servers and, even indirectly, used to train future models, with no guarantee of confidentiality.
How to avoid it: Use a private SaaS platform, such as Validato, which runs on secure infrastructure (Azure OpenAI), with contractual guarantees that data will not be used for training or shared externally.
2. Lack of Traceability and Governance
When using public ChatGPT, the company cannot know:
-
What employees are asking;
-
What type of information is being shared;
-
Which files have been uploaded.
Risk: Lack of control creates opportunities for misuse, leaks, and compliance failures, and also makes auditing difficult.
How to avoid it: Validato logs all interactions with the AI, linked to each user. This allows for tracking, auditing, and quick action in case of incidents.
3. Misalignment with LGPD, GDPR, and Internal Policies
Using AI without supervision can compromise personal data of customers, suppliers, and employees, even unintentionally.
Risk: This may result in serious violations of LGPD or GDPR, harm the company’s reputation, and lead to fines or legal sanctions.
How to avoid it: With Validato, all data processing occurs within an architecture that complies with regulations, and company administrators have full visibility over AI usage.
4. Misuse of AI by Employees
Without defined limits, AI may be used for activities beyond professional scope — from searching for inappropriate content to exploring topics unauthorized by the company.
Risk: Besides misuse, this can lead to operational failures, generation of inappropriate content, and even brand exposure.
How to avoid it: Validato allows configuration of keyword alerts, usage policies, and audit trails. If someone exceeds defined limits, the system triggers automatic notifications.
5. False Sense of Technological Security
Because it’s a “sophisticated” tool, ChatGPT creates the illusion that everything it responds with is reliable. Without supervision, employees may make critical decisions based on incorrect, incomplete, or hallucinated information.
Risk: Strategic errors, poor decisions, or actions based on unverifiable data.
How to avoid it: Validato allows you to train agents using your company’s own data, ensuring the AI responds based on institutional knowledge — with security, context, and responsibility.
Conclusion
ChatGPT is powerful, but it wasn’t built for uncontrolled corporate use.
Companies adopting AI need to go beyond the hype: they need infrastructure, traceability, compliance, and security by default.
Validato was built exactly for this.
