Shadow AI Discovery and Governance

See how AI is used—and govern the actions that create real exposure.

Secure Zona helps teams discover AI application and agent use, review risk in context and apply browser policy to sensitive actions without forcing every business use case into a blunt allow-or-block decision.

DiscoverUnderstand which AI applications, embedded features and agents are in use.
ClassifyReview app category, business purpose, ownership and data-handling risk.
ControlAllow, warn or block by app, domain, category and user action.
ReportTrack adoption, policy decisions, exceptions and AI governance evidence.
Action-Aware Governance

Govern risk at the moment users share, upload or move information.

An AI application may be acceptable for general research but inappropriate for customer data, source code or regulated records. Secure Zona’s browser layer lets policy respond to the action and context instead of treating the whole application as one risk level.

Paste controls

Warn or restrict text transfer into AI applications based on policy and context.

Upload controls

Govern file uploads where sensitive information or unapproved AI use creates risk.

Download and print

Apply controls to data leaving governed applications through browser actions.

Simulation and exceptions

Review expected impact before rollout and support accountable business exceptions.

Connected AI Governance

Connect browser evidence to AI inventory, agent risk and compliance.

Browser visibility is strongest when it is not a separate control plane. Secure Zona connects usage patterns and policy events to AI posture, agent inventory, MCP findings, data and identity risk, and the reports used by owners and leadership.

Approved and unapproved AI

Maintain a clearer picture of sanctioned platforms and emerging applications.

Embedded and agentic AI

Extend governance beyond standalone chat tools to copilots, SaaS features and agents.

Policy evidence

Retain a reviewable record of controls, exceptions, adoption trends and decisions.

FAQ

Shadow AI questions

What is shadow AI?

Shadow AI is the use of AI applications, features or agents without complete security, privacy or governance visibility. It can include unapproved tools as well as AI capabilities embedded in approved SaaS products.

How does Secure Zona discover shadow AI?

Secure Zona combines AI platform and agent inventory with browser-level visibility so teams can understand approved and unapproved AI use where work happens.

Can browser controls govern actions without blocking an entire application?

Yes. Policy can distinguish application, category, domain and sensitive actions such as paste, upload, download and print, enabling more precise governance than a simple allow-or-block list.
