Software & technology companies

Product and engineering organisations where developers already use AI and source code is the crown jewel.

Developers keep their assistants on company-paid tiers. Source code and customer data never go to a consumer account.

FAQ

Questions before you deploy

What is an AI policy profile?

A recommended action for every AI tool: Block, Allow with controls, or Allow. One profile per audience, from MSPs to healthcare, legal and defense.

How is the verdict decided?

From fields every AI tool domain already carries: category and subcategory, risk rating, data-sovereignty exposure, abusive-purpose flag, and the vendor's stated position on training with user data.

How does this connect to my Shadow AI Audit?

Every tool your audit finds already carries these same fields. Pick a profile and the report shows how many findings would be blocked, controlled or allowed under it.
