Shadow AI Detection and Governance for Enterprises

Gain visibility into unsanctioned AI use, enforce policies in real time, and reduce compliance risk before shadow AI spreads across teams. Trussed AI helps enterprises detect hidden AI activity, govern agents and apps at runtime, and create audit-ready oversight without slowing innovation or disrupting existing workflows.

Our Shadow AI Detection and Governance Services

Comprehensive solutions to discover, control, and govern enterprise AI usage across apps, agents, and workflows.

AI Control Plane

Centralize oversight of AI apps, agents, and developer tools with runtime policy enforcement, audit logging, usage visibility, and deployment options that fit enterprise security and infrastructure requirements.

AI Governance Advisory

Design a practical governance strategy, operating model, and approval workflows that help your organization move from fragmented AI experimentation to controlled, production-ready deployment.

Agentic Governance

Control agent actions before execution by authorizing tool calls, data access, and workflow triggers in real time across multi-agent systems and connected enterprise environments.

Audit Assurance

Generate continuous evidence for internal reviews and external audits with complete traces, policy evaluation records, timestamps, and data lineage for every governed AI interaction.

Cost Governance

Track AI spend by team, workflow, and provider while enforcing budgets, thresholds, and routing decisions that improve cost efficiency without sacrificing performance or control.

Runtime Integrations

Connect governance controls into existing enterprise environments through proxy-based deployment, SDKs, APIs, and partner integrations with major cloud and platform ecosystems.

Runtime AI Oversight

Control Shadow AI Before It Spreads

Shadow AI creates blind spots in security, compliance, and cost management when teams adopt tools faster than governance can keep up. Trussed AI gives enterprises a control plane that detects unmanaged AI activity, applies policies at runtime, and produces continuous audit evidence. The result is safer AI adoption, clearer accountability, and faster movement from experimentation to governed production use.

Success Stories

See how enterprises improve visibility, compliance, and control across rapidly expanding AI environments.

"Trussed AI Control Plane transformed how we manage AI governance. Real-time policy enforcement across our agents reduced compliance violations to less than 1%. Implementation took just 4 weeks, and our team now spends 50% less time on manual governance checks."

Dr. Michael Chen

"We were struggling with shadow ai governance across our organization until we deployed Trussed. The AI Governance Advisory service helped us establish clear policies and operational workflows. Audit readiness improved dramatically within weeks."

Sarah Mitchell

"As a regulated enterprise deploying AI at scale, shadow ai governance was our biggest challenge. Trussed's drop-in proxy integration gave us immediate visibility without disrupting existing systems. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance built in from day one."

James Patterson

"The Agentic Governance solution enforces boundaries on every agent tool call in real time. We deployed multiple autonomous agents confidently knowing policies travel with them across environments. Response time under 20ms consistently—critical for production."

Elena Vasquez

"Cost Governance revealed our AI spend was scattered across teams with no attribution. Real-time tracking by model and project helped us optimize and reduce costs by 35%. Proof of concept convinced our CFO this was essential infrastructure."

Robert Kumar

"Trussed became our trusted partner for governing AI across three business units. The team listens, adapts deployment models to our needs, and the platform scales seamlessly. Continuous audit evidence generation saves our compliance team hours monthly."

Patricia Okonkwo

"The AI Audit and Assurance capabilities automatically log every AI interaction with full chain of custody. We moved from reconstructing evidence for regulators to providing audit-ready records instantly. HIPAA compliance monitoring is continuous, not reactive."

Dr. Howard Walsh

"Integrating with AWS and Google Cloud through Trussed's Integration Partner Program gave us seamless governance across our multi-cloud environment. Real-time policy enforcement across models, agents, and workflows positioned us as the industry leader."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an enterprise AI user?

An enterprise AI user is any employee, contractor, developer, analyst, or business team member using AI tools within an organization. That can include approved copilots, internal models, third-party AI apps, or autonomous agents. In shadow AI governance, the concern is not just who uses AI, but whether usage is visible, policy-aligned, secure, and properly logged for compliance and operational oversight.
