Enterprise AI Risk

    Shadow AI in the Enterprise

    Your employees are using AI tools you don't control — exposing sensitive data through prompts, uploads, and retrieval pipelines. Most security teams have no visibility.

    What is Shadow AI?

    Shadow AI is not shadow IT. It is AI usage that bypasses security review — and creates a new category of data exfiltration risk.

    Shadow IT

    Unapproved software installed on company devices. Detectable through endpoint management and network monitoring.

    Shadow AI

    Sensitive data sent to external AI models through prompts, uploaded documents, and RAG-retrieved context — often through approved tools, with no detection layer.

    How data leaves your organization

    Sensitive Data

    PII, IP, credentials

    Employee Prompt

    Unreviewed input

    External AI Model

    No org controls

    The Risk Surface

    Security leaders are reporting growing exposure across three critical dimensions.

    Data Leakage

    Sensitive data — PII, source code, financial records — shared with external models through prompts and file uploads.

    Compliance Exposure

    Unmonitored AI usage creates gaps in GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, and sector-specific regulatory obligations.

    Audit Gaps

    No logs, no trail. Security teams cannot answer what data was sent to which model, by whom, or when.

    Why Current Tools Fall Short

    Traditional security controls were not designed for dynamic, prompt-based AI interactions.

    Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

    Pattern-matching on structured data formats. Cannot inspect free-form prompts or understand contextual sensitivity in natural language.

    Access Management

    Controls who can access a tool — not what data is sent through it. Approved tools become unmonitored exfiltration channels.

    The gap: No existing tool inspects AI interactions at the content layer — where the actual risk lives.

    Governance at the Gateway Layer

    Trussed sits between your users and AI models — enforcing policy before data reaches any provider.

    Every prompt and response is analyzed for sensitive content before reaching external models.

    Policy Enforcement

    Configurable rules block, redact, or flag interactions based on data classification and compliance requirements.
