Shadow AI, under control.
Many employees use personal ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions for work tasks. It is important to ensure company data does not leave the EU without audit trails, visibility, or control.

Shadow AI is widespread in most organisations.
Studies show that over 50% of knowledge workers use AI tools at work. For many, this happens without IT's knowledge, making visibility and control essential.
Personal AI subscriptions
Employees pay for ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro with personal accounts and use them for work tasks, including writing emails, summarising documents, and analysing data.
US-hosted business accounts
Even "business" plans from US AI providers process data in the United States. Your company data crosses EU borders every time an employee submits a query.
No visibility for IT
There is no audit trail, no usage log, and no way to know what data has been shared. By the time a breach is discovered, the data is already gone.
The importance of controlled data transfers
When internal documents, customer data, or strategic plans are processed in AI tools outside the EU, it can create uncontrolled data transfers that pose a GDPR compliance risk.
Uncontrolled data transfer
Personal data leaves the EU without appropriate safeguards, standard contractual clauses, or data processing agreements.
No data processing agreement
Personal AI subscriptions have no DPA. The employee's data, and your company's data, is governed by consumer terms of service.
Training data exposure
Many AI providers use input data to train models. Confidential information submitted by employees may be reflected in responses to other users.
