Nobody knew what was operating.

The incident

68% of employees use AI tools without disclosing it to their manager. 3.1% of enterprise employees share confidential data with AI tools every week — in a 100,000-person organisation that is hundreds of incidents per week. The average organisation now reports more than 200 AI-related data policy violations per month.

You cannot control what you cannot see. The first requirement of any control framework is a complete and current inventory.
