Shadow AI Is the New Governance Gap: Turning AI Policy Into Enforceable Governance


AI adoption is accelerating across every industry. Organizations are embracing new AI tools to improve productivity, automate workflows, and drive innovation. Yet as AI usage continues to grow, governance is not keeping pace.


Are you willing to risk 75% of your sensitive data?

  • While 83% of organizations report using AI, only 13% have strong visibility into how AI interacts with sensitive data.

  • 98% of organizations have unverified applications, including unsanctioned AI tools, operating within their environments.

  • 75% of exposed sensitive data is comprised of code, legal documents, and financial data.


This growing disconnect is creating a new challenge for security and IT leaders: Shadow AI.


From AI Policy to Enforceable Governance

Explore the steps and tools to build an AI Visibility & Governance Program:

  • Define Shadow AI

  • Establish approved AI pathways

  • Build an AI inventory

  • Assess AI-specific security risks

  • Categorize tools

  • Govern third-party and embedded AI

  • Create an acceptable use policy

  • Monitor continuously

  • Enforce controls technically

  • Train users with practical examples

  • Protect the data, not just the app

  • Create an intake and exception process

To effectively manage AI adoption, organizations need visibility into where AI is being used, an understanding of where sensitive data may be exposed, and practical controls that support innovation without slowing it down.
