We are an Acadiana-based IT and cybersecurity firm, under current ownership since 2013, and we help Lafayette businesses put written, enforceable rules around the AI tools their staff already use. That means an AI acceptable-use policy, shadow AI detection, data classification, staff training and AI vendor review, documented so you can show an auditor, an insurer or a client exactly how AI is controlled in your company.
We are also the only IT firm in Louisiana that holds the CompTIA Security Trustmark+, a third-party assessed validation that our own security practices follow industry-accepted best practices. When you hand us your AI compliance program, the firm building it has had its own controls checked by an outside assessor.

AI compliance is not a single law. For most companies in Acadiana it is the overlap of three things:
Most owners underestimate this. We run shadow AI detection to identify the AI tools in use across your company, sanctioned or not: ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, browser extensions, AI note-takers and AI features built into software you already pay for. You get a list, not a guess.
We sort your information into what can go into an approved AI tool, what can go only into a tool under a business agreement, and what never goes into a prompt. Passwords, Social Security numbers, card numbers, client records, payroll and unreleased financials sit in that last group.
A written policy names the approved tools, states what data is allowed, assigns accountability and explains how use is logged and reviewed. It is written in plain English so staff can follow it, and it is signed so you can prove they received it.
A policy that is not enforced is a liability. We configure the settings that matter in the tools you approve, including data-retention and training opt-outs, account controls and access restrictions, so the policy is backed by technical controls.
Short, practical safe-use training covers what not to paste, how to spot AI-generated phishing and how to use approved tools well. Training is recorded so you have evidence it happened.
Before you adopt a new AI product, we review how it stores, uses and shares your data, and whether its terms fit your compliance obligations.
Compliance is proven with records. You keep the policy, signed acknowledgments, training records, the tool inventory and vendor reviews in one place, ready for an audit, a renewal or a client questionnaire.

Vital Integrators, an Acadiana-based IT and cybersecurity firm, provides AI compliance and AI governance for Lafayette and Baton Rouge businesses, including AI policies, shadow AI detection, data classification, staff training and AI vendor review.
For most Louisiana businesses, no single AI law applies. Existing rules such as HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule and CMMC apply to data no matter which tool touches it, and insurers and clients increasingly ask for a written AI policy.
Our phased approach delivers a scored baseline, a signed AI acceptable-use policy and a trained team in about 30 days for most small and midsize businesses.
The tools your staff already use, including ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude and Gemini, plus AI note-takers, browser extensions and AI features built into existing software.
It depends on company size and the obligations you answer to. Start with the free AI Risk Score; we quote a fixed price after reviewing the results.
