Ark Cyber
Shadow AI & AI Governance Services
Visibility, monitoring, and managed guardrails for safe AI adoption
Bring Shadow AI Out of the Shadows
Shadow AI is the use of AI tools without IT’s knowledge or oversight—personal ChatGPT accounts, files uploaded for summaries, code pasted into assistants, or AI features built into platforms like Microsoft 365, Slack, Grammarly, and Canva.
The issue isn’t AI itself; it’s the lack of visibility into who is using it and what data they’re sharing. Once customer records, contracts, financial information, or passwords are entered into an outside tool, you may lose control over how that data is stored or reused. Because this activity doesn’t look like a typical cyberattack, traditional security tools often miss it.
Ark Cyber helps businesses in London, Ontario and across Southwestern Ontario discover where AI is being used, understand what business data may be exposed, and put practical AI guardrails in place. Your team keeps the productivity gains of AI, and your sensitive information stays protected.
Our Shadow AI & AI Governance Services
AI Usage Discovery
Identify which AI tools are being used across your users, devices, browsers, applications, and workflows.
Shadow AI Monitoring
Detect unapproved AI tools, personal AI accounts, browser-based AI, developer assistants, embedded AI features, and emerging AI agents.
AI Data Exposure Monitoring
Monitor prompts and file uploads for sensitive data like PII, financial records, contracts, and HR documents, so you always know what is leaving your business.
AI Guardrails & Policy Enforcement
Set controls that allow, warn, block, or log activity according to your AI policy, all without getting in the way of real work.
Ongoing Managed AI Governance
We keep monitoring, reporting, tuning policy, and reviewing over time, so AI never turns into another unmanaged risk.
Why Choose Ark Cyber for AI Governance?
Visibility First, Controls Second
Before we put any restrictions in place, we run in monitor-only mode so you can see what is actually happening across your business. Your staff carry on as normal while we build the picture.
Practical Guardrails, Not Blanket Bans
Block AI outright and people just find workarounds, which makes Shadow AI worse. We help you set policies your team can actually live with, so safe AI use becomes the easy option. And if you already run Microsoft Copilot, keep in mind it only covers one corner of the wider AI landscape.
Business-Readable Reporting
Your leadership team gets clear reports on AI usage, exposure, and policy triggers, written in plain language rather than raw logs.
Built for Small & Mid-Sized Businesses
SMBs are often more exposed than enterprises: AI adoption happens informally and IT teams are lean. Our services fit professional services firms, accounting and legal offices, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, manufacturers, and any business with sensitive data or cyber insurance requirements.
Part of a Complete Security Strategy
Shadow AI monitoring fits alongside the rest of our cyber security work, including our Security Operations Centre, Detection and Response, Security Awareness Training, and Dark Web Monitoring, so nothing falls through the gaps.
