Shadow AI Audit.

Find every AI tool your employees use without approval, and the data going into it.

The problem

AI adoption runs ahead of approval across most organizations. Employees deploy tools on their own, without waiting for IT review or a security evaluation. Customer data, proprietary code, and confidential documents flow into unapproved AI systems every day.

Security teams consistently underestimate the scope of Shadow AI. The only way to size the exposure is to go look.

What’s included

-Discovery of AI tools across browser extensions, SaaS platforms, and API integrations
-Employee surveys and technical detection methodologies
-Data flow mapping documentation
-Risk classification by tool and use case
-Department stakeholder interviews
-Policy gap assessment against current controls

What you get

Where this leads

The Shadow AI Audit is the discovery phase of the AI Security & Hardening engagement. Discovery sizes the exposure. Hardening closes it, by deploying enforced policy across the AI traffic that carries real risk. Many organizations start here and continue into the full engagement.
