Shadow AI Discovery
By the time most schools think about AI governance, dozens of AI tools are already in use. Many without IT approval. Our Shadow AI Discovery scans your environment to surface every AI application being accessed.
How We Discover Shadow AI
We analyse network traffic, DNS logs, and browser activity (where permissible) to identify every AI tool being accessed across your school's network, including tools used on school-managed devices outside the school premises.
- Network-level traffic analysis for known AI tool signatures
- DNS log review to catch AI tools accessed via browser
- Endpoint monitoring on school-managed devices
- Regular sweep reports showing new tools as they emerge
Risk Classification
Not every discovered AI tool is a problem. We classify each tool by risk level, based on what data it processes, where it's hosted, what its privacy policy says, and whether it's suitable for school use, so you can make informed decisions about what to allow.
- Risk rating: Approved, Review Required, Blocked
- Assessment criteria: data handling, privacy policy, data residency
- Comparison against your school's AI acceptable use policy
- Recommendations for each tool with rationale
Ongoing Monitoring
The AI tool landscape changes fast. New tools appear constantly, and staff will find them. We maintain ongoing monitoring so new AI tool usage is flagged as it appears, not discovered months later during an annual review.
- Continuous monitoring with alerts for new tools
- Weekly digest of new AI tool detections for your IT team
- Tracks changes in existing tools (new features, policy changes)
- Monthly trend report showing usage patterns across the school
