Ban the use of code generated by Artificial Idiocy.

• Always write the code yourself.
• Never use code from the internet unless you fully understand what each line does.
• Get a code signing certificate and sign your code.
• Set macro security to "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros"
• Accept that there is no such thing as "safe", there are only managed risks.
• Accept that it will be necessary to educate the organization's IT staff as they will be risk averse by default.
