Shadow AI Monitoring

Bring Hidden AI Usage Under Central Control

Every day, unsanctioned "Shadow AI" tools are quietly siphoning proprietary code, customer PII, and strategic secrets into public training models.

Employees are using a variety of unapproved or unmonitored public and third-party AI tools (Shadow AI). This poses a significant risks of data leakage, security vulnerabilities, and compliance violations.

Security and governance teams lack visibility into which AI tools are being used, what data is being shared, and whether organizational policies are being followed outside of sanctioned platforms. The immediate threat is the unintentional exposure of confidential intellectual property (IP) or personal identifiable information (PII).

Without visibility, your organization is one prompt away from a massive data breach and regulatory failure.
NeuralShield illuminates hidden risks by providing instant visibility into unvetted tool usage and automatically scrubbing sensitive data via real-time redaction.

Intercept & Redact
Intercept & Redact

NeuralShield blocks the exposure of personal data or confidential IP within prompts sent to unverified third-party LLMs, and scrubs the sensitive content in real-time.

TOUCH
Policy Enforcement
Policy Enforcement NeuralShield instantly enforces company AI policies on unsanctioned LLM's by automatically blocking the submission of high-risk data.

Shadow AI Audit Trail
Shadow AI Audit Trail NeuralShield can supply a comprehensive Shadow AI Audit Trail, allowing you to show regulators exactly how you’ve mitigated the risks of "hidden" AI use.
TOUCH
Proactive Threat Detection
Proactive Threat Detection NeuralShield's real-time analytics flag high-risk behavior, like an upload of source code to a LLM, before it turns into a headline-making data breach.

NeuralShield acts as the silent sentinel your organization needs to bring Shadow AI out of the dark. 

It automatically intercepts and redacts personal data or proprietary code from prompts sent to unverified third-party LLMs, ensuring sensitive IP is never shared.

NeuralShield doesn't just watch; it acts. When an employee interacts with an unsanctioned AI tool, NeuralShield’s Guardrails operate at the network or browser level to assess, block or redact the content of the prompt before it leaves your infrastructure.

By providing shadow AI audit trails for every "hidden" AI interaction, it eliminates the guesswork of unsanctioned tool usage and provides the hard data needed to satisfy regulators.

NeuralShield’s real-time analytics act as an early warning system, identifying high-risk behavior like proprietary source code uploads to public LLMs. By analyzing the intent and content of every prompt inline, the platform automatically redacts sensitive IP before it ever reaches the cloud. This proactive intervention stops accidental leaks from becoming headline-making breaches without disrupting employee workflows.

Shadow AI can be managed when unsanctioned LLM interactions can be monitored and secured in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get the fundamental answers you need to understand NeuralShield's mission, technology, and value. If you're new to AI assurance, this is the perfect place to start.

What is NeuralShield? NeuralShield is an AI assurance platform that detects, prevents, and even insures against AI’s unpredictable behaviours. We provide comprehensive AI governance and protection across your users, models, and organisation.
How does NeuralShield work? Our platform operates through four core pillars: Guardrails (policy enforcement), Evaluations (real-time quality and ethics checks for bias/hallucination/toxicity), Protection (inline LLM Proxy and threat defence), and Reporting (audit logs and risk telemetry).
What kind of AI systems does NeuralShield work with? NeuralShield is designed to integrate with popular Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI platforms, including third-party tools like ChatGPT, open-source LLMs, and custom models deployed on-premises or in the cloud.
What are the pricing tiers? We offer three flexible tiers: Freemium for individuals and small teams to get started, Pro for growing teams needing advanced features, and Enterprise for organisations requiring full EU AI Act compliance, self-hosting, and insurance integration. Contact us for more pricing details.
What exactly is "Shadow AI," and why is it a risk for my business? Shadow AI refers to any AI tool or application used by employees for work without the explicit approval or oversight of the IT and Security departments. The primary risk is data exfiltration: when employees paste proprietary code, sensitive financial data, or customer PII into public chatbots (like free versions of ChatGPT), that information often becomes part of the provider’s training set. This can lead to massive intellectual property leaks and serious regulatory violations.
How does NeuralShield detect unsanctioned AI? NeuralShield acts as a "silent sentinel" by monitoring network traffic for connections to known and emerging AI endpoints. It identifies unsanctioned tool usage—on sites like ChatGPT—and automatically enforces company policies through real-time redaction of sensitive information
Does managing Shadow AI with NeuralShield help with EU AI Act compliance? Yes. Under the EU AI Act, organizations are responsible for the AI systems used within their borders, including transparency and data governance. NeuralShield provides the detailed audit trails and real-time oversight necessary to prove you have "eyes on" all AI interactions. By bringing Shadow AI into a governed ecosystem, you transform a potential liability into a documented, accountable resource that is "audit-ready" for regulators.
