Shadow AI
Ensuring Safe & Compliant AI Use
Elevate governance. Eliminate blind spots. Take decisive control of unsanctioned AI usage across your organisation.
How SURF Helps Mitigate Shadow AI
DLP
Prevent sensitive data from being submitted to unauthorized AI tools through contextual detection and blocking.
Access Control
Restrict AI tool usage to only approved roles, departments, or users; balance innovation with compliance.
Visibility & Auditing
Gain insight into all AI tools-sanctioned or not-that users are interacting with from any browser environment.
Why This Matters
Compliance Risks - Shadow AI circumvents established audit, data handling, and governance rules.
Data Exposure - Sensitive intellectual property or PII can be unintentionally shared or even stored by third-party AI systems.
Operational Blind Spots - With as much as 90% of unofficial AI usage going undetected, organisations are exposed to unchecked modern threats.
