SMB Risk Briefing: Lock the Controllers, Unify the Evidence, and Modernize AI with Real Ownership

Episode notes

A free CPF Coaching briefing for SMB leaders on SharePoint exploitation, recurring-subscription compliance, and the control boundaries AI agents need before they scale. This episode covers only the free strategic guidance. This week's SMB Risk Signals briefing is about the workflows your business already trusts. CISA's SharePoint alert shows how fast an old collaboration server can become an execution surface. New York's settlement with 1-800-Flowers shows that recurring billing becomes a legal control problem when disclosure, acknowledgment, and reminder logic drift. OpenAI's Presence launch makes the AI lesson even clearer: agent systems need approved actions, escalation rules, and visible policy boundaries before they scale. This is a public episode.
