Gaining Visibility and Control Over Shadow AI
As employees increasingly adopt publicly available AI platforms to enhance productivity, organisations often lack visibility into how these tools are being used and what data is being exposed. This service provides critical insight into where AI is already in use, the associated risks, and the steps required to bring that usage under appropriate governance and control.
The Importance of AI Shadow Discovery:
The rapid (and often informal) adoption of AI tools introduces a range of risks, including:
- Exposure of sensitive or regulated data to external AI platforms
- Loss of intellectual property through prompt-based interactions
- Lack of oversight or auditability of AI-assisted decision-making
- Inconsistent or non-compliant usage across business units
- Increased attack surface through unmanaged third-party services
In CNI environments, these risks can directly impact operational security, regulatory compliance, and public trust.
