Shadow AI is already in your business. Find it before it finds you

A 4-week audit that maps every AI tool your team uses. Approved or not. We assess data risks and build a governance framework. Built for businesses with 20+ employees using AI without a formal policy.

An AI Security Audit is a comprehensive four-week assessment that discovers all AI tools in use across an organisation (approved and unapproved), maps data exposure risks and delivers a tailored governance framework aligned with Australian privacy and compliance standards.

Research shows that 73% of businesses have employees using AI tools without formal approval or oversight, creating significant data exposure and compliance risks. An AI Security Audit identifies every instance of shadow AI, assesses the data flowing through each tool and builds a governance framework that enables safe, productive AI adoption.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is shadow AI?
Shadow AI refers to any AI tool your team uses without formal organisational approval or oversight. This includes standalone tools like ChatGPT and AI writing assistants, as well as AI features built into everyday applications such as email clients, document editors and collaboration platforms. Most businesses are surprised to discover that AI is already embedded in 10 to 15 of their existing software tools.
Will this disrupt our daily operations?
No. The audit is designed to run alongside your normal operations with minimal disruption. We use a combination of network analysis, short staff interviews and non-invasive software scans to build the complete picture. Most employees spend less than 30 minutes participating, and no systems need to be taken offline during the process.
Does this cover Australian Privacy Act compliance?
Yes. We assess your AI usage against the Australian Privacy Act, the Australian AI Ethics Framework and any industry-specific regulations that apply to your business. The final report includes specific compliance gaps, risk ratings for each one and actionable recommendations for remediation prioritised by severity.
What about ongoing monitoring after the audit?
The Audit + Implementation tier includes automated monitoring tools that flag new AI tools as they appear in your environment, giving you continuous visibility. Audit-only clients receive detailed recommendations and configuration guides for setting up their own monitoring using existing IT infrastructure and security tools.
