Map where AI is used, which tools and accounts are involved, and where unmanaged paths exist.
Shadow AI governance
Discover and control the AI your employees actually use.
Shadow AI is the use of AI tools, accounts or workflows outside an organization's approved governance path. AgentID helps security teams find those paths, protect company data, enforce policy and produce evidence without blocking useful work by default.
Why it matters
Shadow AI is an operational visibility problem.
Policy documents and approved-tool lists do not show what is happening in browsers, endpoints, IDEs or agent workflows. Effective governance connects discovery with a control that can be applied at runtime and an audit trail that can be reviewed later.
Common Shadow AI surfaces
- Browser and desktop use of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other public AI tools
- Personal or unmanaged accounts used with company data
- AI use inside IDEs, extensions, internal applications and agent workflows
Governance workflow
From discovery to defensible evidence.
Protect
Detect sensitive information before it leaves the governed boundary and apply masking or blocking policies.
Govern
Connect policy decisions to identities, teams, applications and the context of each AI interaction.
Prove
Retain observable events and audit evidence so security, privacy and compliance teams can review what happened.
