Shadow AI Maturity Assessment: Discover Your Organization's Security Readiness in 5 Minutes
This 5-minute check pinpoints your biggest gaps and shows you exactly where to focus for maximum impact.
Your security team knows Shadow AI is a problem. But where do you start when your employees are already using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and dozens of other unsanctioned AI tools?
The Shadow AI Challenge Facing Security Leaders
Here's the reality: 68% of employees are using unauthorized AI tools with personal accounts right now, reported by Menlo Security. Another 57% are pasting sensitive data, customer information, proprietary code, financial records - into these tools. They're not being malicious; they're chasing productivity while your approval process catches up.
The financial impact is staggering. Organizations with unmanaged Shadow AI exposure pay an average of $670,000 more per data breach than those with mature AI governance programs (from the IBM Cost of a Databreach 2025).
Understanding Your AI Security Maturity
Every organization's AI security posture falls somewhere on the maturity spectrum. This assessment measures your readiness across 4 critical domains:
Governance & Policy - Do you have AI acceptable use policies that actually work?
Technical Controls - Can you detect, monitor, and prevent unauthorized AI usage?
Data Handling & Classification - Are employees trained on what data should never enter AI tools?
Employee Awareness & Culture - Does your team recognize Shadow AI security risks?
But here's the challenge security leaders face: Which domain do you tackle first? Where are the quick wins?
Most organizations waste months building comprehensive AI governance frameworks when they should be addressing their most critical gap first.
