AI Access & Usage Control

AI Access & Usage Control

Our AI Access & Usage Control service defines and enforces how users interact with AI systems, ensuring that access is appropriate, controlled, and aligned with organisational policy.

Gaining Visibility and Control Over Shadow AI

As AI tools become widely accessible across the workforce, organisations must ensure that usage is governed in a way that balances innovation with security and compliance.

Our service establishes clear rules, controls, and enforcement mechanisms governing who can use AI systems, how they can be used, and under what conditions.


Why it Matters

Uncontrolled access to AI systems can lead to:

  • Misuse of AI tools resulting in data exposure or policy breaches
  • Inconsistent usage across teams, leading to governance challenges
  • Unauthorised access to sensitive AI capabilities or datasets
  • Increased risk of non-compliant or inappropriate outputs
  • Lack of visibility into how AI systems are being used

Without defined access and usage controls, organisations risk losing control over AI adoption at scale.
