Shadow AI Audit

From $2,000 CAD · scoped to you

Your team is using AI tools you never approved, pasting code, customer data, and strategy into services you’ve never vetted.

Book a discovery call See pricing

A shadow-AI audit finds that unsanctioned usage, tells you where the real risk is, and brings it under governance instead of leaving it invisible.

Delivered by a researcher with five published CVEs, including a CVSS 9.1 in the Mirai botnet.

What we do

Discovery of the AI and LLM tools actually in use across the org
Assessment of what data is flowing into those tools and where the risk concentrates
A risk ranking so you focus on the tools that matter, not every browser extension
Recommendations to sanction, restrict, or block each tool
A path to bring surviving tools under your AI governance program and policy

Built for teams that...

  • Organizations that suspect, or know, employees use AI tools off the books
  • Security teams that want visibility into actual AI usage, not assumptions
  • Companies rolling out an AI policy that needs a baseline of current reality
  • Leaders worried about sensitive data leaving through unvetted AI tools

What you walk away with

You get an honest map of the AI actually running in your organization, ranked by risk, plus a plan to sanction the useful tools, shut down the dangerous ones, and fold the rest into governance, turning invisible risk into a managed inventory.

Frequently asked questions

How do you discover shadow AI usage?

Through a combination of technical signals and structured discovery with your teams. The exact approach depends on your environment and tooling; we scope it so the picture is honest without being invasive.

What do we do once we find it?

We risk-rank the tools and recommend sanctioning, restricting, or blocking each one, then help fold the survivors into your AI governance program and acceptable-use policy.

Isn’t all shadow AI bad?

No, a lot of it is people trying to work faster. The goal is not to ban everything, but to see reality, kill the genuinely risky uses, and bring the useful ones into governance.

Does this pair with a vendor risk assessment?

Yes. The audit surfaces what is in use; an AI vendor risk assessment then digs into the security and privacy of the tools worth keeping.
