SHADOW AI GOVERNANCE

AI is everywhere. Governance should be, too.

Discover AI apps and builders, understand who is using them, and manage or restrict access from one connected workflow.

Your AI policy only works for the AI you know about.

AI tools and builders can enter the organisation before review, creating gaps in visibility, access control, and policy enforcement.

Unreviewed AI adoption

AI apps and builders can enter the organisation before security, IT, or GRC teams review them.

Expanding access risk

AI apps may handle sensitive data, while builders can connect to codebases, APIs, and technical environments.

Restrictions without verification

A restricted status does not confirm that access has been removed or usage has stopped.

FROM SHADOW AI TO GOVERNED AI

One workflow to discover, review, and continuously govern

Scrut brings AI application discovery, review, remediation, and continuous governance into a single workflow.

01. Discover
See the applications already in your environment.

Discover applications across supported identity and device sources, including SSO integrations such as Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra, as well as desktop discovery through supported device-management integrations or the Scrut Agent.

Applications are surfaced as SaaS or desktop applications, giving your teams one centralized place to review what is actually being used.

02. Understand
Start every review with the right context.

Scrut automatically identifies discovered tools as AI Apps or AI Builders, giving your teams the context they need to conduct the right review.

AI Apps may include tools such as Perplexity, Notion AI, and Grammarly.

AI Builders may interact with codebases, APIs, or development environments, including tools such as Cursor and Lovable.

03. Govern
Turn AI visibility into governed action.

Review discovered applications and move them into the appropriate governance state:

Managed : Approved for organizational use.

Ignored : Reviewed and excluded from further action.

Restricted : Determined to be unsuitable for organizational use.

When restricting an application, teams can document the reason for the decision and identify the employees associated with its usage.

04. Act
Alert the affected users and drive access reviews.

Notify affected employees directly from the workflow and provide clear instructions to remove access.

For applications discovered through SSO, users can be guided to revoke third-party application access. For desktop applications, users can receive instructions to uninstall the application.

05. Monitor
Know whether your governance decisions are being implemented

Scrut continuously checks whether discovered AI applications have been reviewed and whether restricted applications remain in use.

Close the gap between creating an AI policy and proving that it is being followed.

Move from AI visibility to continuous governance.

Build a centralized AI inventory

Bring discovered AI apps and builders into one place for security, IT, and GRC teams to review.

Make informed governance decisions

Understand how each application is being used before deciding whether it should be managed, ignored, or restricted.

Reduce exposure with clear action

Turn policy decisions into employee-level remediation instead of leaving restrictions documented but unenforced.

Continuously verify compliance

Monitor whether applications have been reviewed and whether restricted tools continue to appear in your environment.

Bring Shadow AI into the light.
Give your teams the visibility and control they need to govern AI adoption while enabling employees to use AI more safely.
