Shadow AI

Any AI tool installed without IT approval

What it is

AI agents operating in your organisation that nobody in IT, Legal, or Compliance knows about — installed by developers, teams, or vendors without approval.

What it accesses

Whatever the installing user has access to — which is often far more than any formal risk assessment would approve.

What can go wrong

68% of employees use AI tools without disclosing it. 3.1% share confidential data with AI tools every week. You cannot govern what you cannot see.

How Sunbeam helps
Scanner finds it

CIM controls it

Central surfaces every discovered agent for governance. One click to assign a contract. CIM begins enforcing immediately.
