ShadowAI gives security and IT leaders the visibility, governance, and control they need to manage unsanctioned AI use across the workforce — without slowing innovation down.
Adoption is outpacing governance. By the time most organizations finalize an acceptable-use policy, employees have already adopted dozens of new tools — all invisible to your security stack.
Every prompt is a potential exfiltration event. Source code, customer records, M&A documents, and personally identifiable information are routinely pasted into AI tools that may store, train on, or share that data — without your knowledge.
GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and the EU AI Act do not exempt employees using unsanctioned AI. Your organization remains accountable — regardless of whether the tool was approved.
Once proprietary information enters a third-party model, legal and practical control becomes murky. Trade secrets and competitive advantage can quietly slip away — permanently.
Most AI tools are accessed through personal accounts, bypassing SSO and identity governance entirely. When employees leave, access persists — and the data they shared never returns.
ShadowAI replaces guesswork with a complete picture of how AI is used inside your organization, then gives you the controls to shape that use safely — from day one.
Map every AI tool, extension, and integration across browsers, endpoints, and SaaS — including the ones IT has never heard of.
Score each tool against a continuously updated risk catalog covering data handling, model behavior, and regulatory posture.
Translate policy into enforcement — block, warn, or coach users in real time with approval workflows and exception handling.
Inspect prompts in motion, redact sensitive content before it leaves the device, and log every interaction to a tamper-evident audit trail.
Turn blocked actions into teachable moments with in-context nudges, role-aware guidance, and a self-service catalog of approved tools.
Purpose-built for prompt-driven, conversation-based, model-mediated workflows — not bolted onto tools designed for a different era.
Continuous detection of AI applications, extensions, embedded features, and API integrations across browsers, endpoints, and SaaS — with no agent-only blind spots.
DiscoveryReal-time inspection of content flowing in and out of AI tools, with policy-driven controls for credentials, source code, financial records, and regulated personal data.
ProtectionA curated library of AI tools, each evaluated for security posture, data handling, model behavior, and compliance fit — updated automatically as vendors change their practices.
IntelligenceBuild policies by user, group, device, location, data type, and tool category. Apply different rules to engineering, legal, marketing, and finance — without managing multiple products.
GovernanceBlock, warn, or guide users at the moment of risk — with messaging that explains why and offers a safer alternative. Friction only where it matters, nowhere else.
CoachingTie AI use back to corporate identity through SSO, IdP, and directory integrations. Revoke access cleanly during offboarding and enforce least privilege across AI tools.
IdentityTamper-evident logs for every AI interaction, dashboards for executives and auditors, and prebuilt connectors for SIEM, SOAR, IAM, DLP, and ITSM platforms.
ComplianceGive employees a clear, searchable list of AI tools they can use with confidence. Reduce shadow adoption by making the sanctioned path the easiest path.
EnablementData minimization, configurable retention, regional processing, and clear separation between metadata and content — foundational, not optional. We hold ourselves to the same standard.
PrivacyDeploy in hours. Surface AI across the org within days. Move to active governance within 30 days — with full confidence in your coverage.
Deploy lightweight agents, browser extensions, or API integrations across the environments you want to cover. Most customers reach meaningful coverage within the first week — no rip-and-replace required.
Within hours of deployment, ShadowAI begins surfacing the AI tools already in use across your organization. You will see things you did not know existed. That is the point.
Each discovered tool is risk-scored, mapped to the users relying on it, and ranked by exposure. Focus your first decisions on the handful of tools that drive most of the risk.
Choose from prebuilt policy templates aligned to common frameworks, or build custom rules that match how your organization actually operates. Roll out in monitor-only mode first, then enforce when ready.
Monitor in real time, respond to incidents through your existing tooling, and refine policies as your AI footprint evolves. ShadowAI grows with the problem — not behind it.
Purpose-built, not bolted on. Coverage that matches reality. Governance that doesn't grind productivity to a halt.
Traditional DLP and CASB tools were designed for file movements and sanctioned SaaS apps. ShadowAI was built from the ground up for prompt-driven, conversation-based, model-mediated workflows. The difference shows up in every detection, every policy, and every report.
Browser, endpoint, network, SaaS, and API. ShadowAI watches the surfaces where AI actually lives — not just the ones that are easy to instrument. No gaps, no guesswork.
Heavy-handed blocking pushes employees deeper into shadow behavior. ShadowAI coaches more than it blocks, with real-time guidance that turns risky moments into safe ones — keeping productivity intact.
New AI tools launch every week. Our research team keeps the risk catalog current so you do not have to. When a vendor changes its data handling, your policies notice — automatically.
From the CISO to IT teams, ShadowAI gives every stakeholder the answers they need — without the complexity they dread.
Get a clear, measurable answer to the question now asked in every quarterly review: how exposed are we to AI-related data loss, and what are we doing about it? ShadowAI converts an unmeasurable risk into a measurable one — with the controls to bring it down.
Surface AI-related incidents alongside everything else your SOC handles. Correlate prompts with identity, device, and data classification context. Investigate, contain, and report — without learning a new console.
Demonstrate to regulators, auditors, and customers that AI use is governed, monitored, and aligned with GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the EU AI Act. Map AI activity to data subjects and regulated categories with precision.
Stop fielding ad-hoc requests for new AI tools without context. Give employees a self-service catalog of approved options, automate the approval workflow for new ones, and retire shadow tools through coaching — not confrontation.
Empower teams to use AI productively without inheriting hidden risk. Get clear visibility into where AI is creating value and where it is creating exposure — so you can invest accordingly.
Prebuilt connectors for the platforms your security team already trusts. AI-related incidents flow through the same workflows — no new console required.
