Securing AI with Azure OpenAI

Created by Carolina Martin, Modified on Thu, 11 Sep at 3:14 AM by Carolina Martin

At Coursebox, protecting client data and ensuring platform security are top priorities. In June 2024, we transitioned to Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service to deliver a safer, more compliant environment for all AI-powered features within the platform.

This move was driven by:

Client concerns about data privacy and sensitive information handling.
The need for greater transparency and control over how AI models operate.
A commitment to meeting enterprise-level security and compliance standards.

Why Azure OpenAI?

Unlike the public OpenAI API, which processes data through shared infrastructure, Azure OpenAI Service provides:

Enterprise-Grade Security
- Hosted within Microsoft Azure’s trusted cloud infrastructure.
- Built-in protections against data leakage and unauthorised access.
Data Privacy & Compliance
- GDPR-aligned data storage and handling.
- Greater assurance for clients in regulated industries.
Transparency & Control
- Clearer visibility into how AI models manage sensitive or copyrighted content.
- Options for organisations to set boundaries around AI usage.
Reliability & Performance
- Backed by Azure’s global datacentres with high uptime and resilience.
- Scalable infrastructure to support growing enterprise needs.

What This Means for You

By moving to Azure OpenAI, Coursebox ensures that:

Your course content, learner data, and proprietary materials are handled with stricter safeguards.
AI-powered features (such as AI Writer, AI Tutor, and AI Video) operate in a controlled, secure environment.
Organisations gain confidence and peace of mind knowing their data is not used to train public AI models.
