No, this isn’t just “a problem in the US.” Sage’s AI Copilot ended up exposing sensitive accounting data through misconfigured permissions. A reminder that “AI gone wrong” doesn’t only mean hallucinations – it can mean your core business data leaking out the side door. We’re seeing these cases reported in the US, but they’re spreading fast in Europe too. And most organizations don’t even realize they already have dozens of unauthorized AI apps, plug-ins and copilots running. That’s Shadow AI. Not something your teams sign up for in a steering committee – but something they install, test, and forget to mention. Until the regulator asks. Or until customer data slips through. So here is your awareness campaign. Turn your attention to Shadow AI - now. #shadowAI #AIcompliance

Remember the Samsung code leak in 2023? Engineers pasted sensitive source code into ChatGPT. Within weeks, Samsung banned all AI tools outright. But here’s the real question: Is your AI policy stuck in 2023 too? Data shows employees increasingly see AI tools as a benefit of a new job. Some even turn down offers when company AI rules are too strict. Handcuffing brilliant people doesn’t make them safer – it just makes them leave. The smarter move is different: 👀 Keep an eye on what AI tools are actually being used. ⚠️ Flag the ones that cross the line. Provide safe, approved alternatives when it gets too risky. #ShadowAI #AIgovernance

Navigating the EU compliance maze? You're not alone. GDPR, NIS2, EU AI Act - the list is long and the stakes are high. But here's the kicker: Shadow AI and unauthorized cloud apps can turn your compliance efforts into a house of cards. Visibility is your first line of defense. Without it, you're flying blind. Guardrails aren't just nice-to-haves; they're your safety net. Consider alternatives that offer transparency and control. It's not about fear; it's about foresight. Stay sharp, stay compliant, and keep your data where it belongs - in safe hands. #ShadowAI #Compliance

How do you actually catch Shadow AI? Firewalls won’t see it. Memos won’t stop it. Employees will always find shortcuts that make workloads faster or just more fun. The real breadcrumbs are in the inbox: “Welcome to…” “Your installation is complete.” “Verify your email.” That’s how unauthorized AI tools introduce themselves. Here’s how we catch it – without spying on employees: - We scan subject lines and senders for signup signals - We pattern-match domains - We extract only the metadata needed to flag risk: sender, domain, employee, app name - We never store the email body or personal correspondence. It’s simple, transparent, and audit-ready: we only keep what matters for compliance and risk, nothing else. Because Shadow AI isn’t a theoretical risk. It’s right there in your employees’ inboxes. #ShadowAI #EmailData #TransparentAI

Imagine your HR software suddenly becoming a crystal ball - predicting employee performance and potential layoffs. Now, imagine that crystal ball shattering. A recent news item highlights the risk: AI-driven HR systems, if hacked, could expose sensitive predictions, leading to a GDPR nightmare. For CIOs and CISOs, this isn't just about compliance. It's about trust and reputation. While major platforms invest heavily in security, no system is invulnerable. The key? Visibility and robust guardrails. Understand your AI tools, know their data flows, and ensure alternatives are ready. The future of your workforce might just depend on it. #ShadowAI #GDPR #DataProtection

You can’t block your way out of this. 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲. Every CEO is on Twitter posting AI manifestos. IT and security can’t be the police. But you’ll still own the blast radius when unmanaged tools hit your data. Blocking buys you time. It doesn’t buy you control. The hard part: many AI tools ship with no real security baseline and not even a user management API. No SSO. No SCIM. Spotty logs. Unknown retention. No way to revoke or prove deletion. So you evaluate more than “allow or block”: - What goes in and what comes out - Training on your data or not - Retention and deletion guarantees - Model versioning and provenance - Region, sub-processors, transfers - Identity, roles, audit logs, revocation AI is just the next “cloud.” Remember when SaaS sprawl beat your firewall rules? We solved it with visibility, standards, and a path users would actually take. Do the same here: see what’s in use, set a bar, and offer safer defaults that are easier than the shadow option. No, you can’t block your way out. Yes, you can manage your way through.

Ever had a marketing team member try out a flashy new tool they found on TikTok? One that no one's vetted? Of course you have. And it's risky. Imagine this: a Chinese analytics app, data jurisdiction unknown, slipping through the cracks. This isn't just a hypothetical. It happened. But it was caught in time. The lesson is clear. Shadow AI and unauthorized apps can sneak in, bypassing your security protocols. Visibility is key. Guardrails are essential. In the EU, compliance isn't just a checkbox. It's a shield. GDPR, NIS2, and the EU AI Act are your allies. Stay vigilant. Keep your digital doors locked. Because sometimes, the biggest risks come from the smallest oversights. #ShadowAI #Compliance #GDPR #DataSecurity

We have renamed your employees. From "Most wanted" to AI Power User. Why? Because every company has them. The ones who always find a way around IT rules. The first to test new tools. The ones who don’t wait for approval. And you can fight them - or you can learn from them. So why not make them your AI power users. The employees who stress-test your security, spot the holes in your rules, and show you where the blind spots really are. #ShadowAI #ShadowIT #AIPowerUser

Consent requests = the apps bold enough to knock on IT’s door. But what about 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘅? When an employee signs up to a new AI feature with their corporate email, you won’t see a consent queue. No OAuth scopes, no alerts. Just another shadow AI tool quietly in use. That’s why 91x scans corporate email logins, invoices, and sign-up flows. We catch the tools that never ask for IT for permission. 👉 Consent queue + email login scanning = a transparent risk feed. In a perfect combination, we make sure you don’t miss a sign-up. #SayNoToComplexity #YesToClearActions #ShadowAI #ShadowIT #EUAIAct #91x
