Aegis Firma Feature

Shadow AI Detection

Discover every AI tool your team uses — including the ones IT doesn't know about.

The Problem

The average organisation uses 15–30 AI tools per team. Most are adopted by individual employees without IT approval or security review. These shadow AI tools process company data, customer information, and confidential documents — creating data breach risk, GDPR violations, and EU AI Act compliance exposure you don't know about.

How Aegis Firma Solves It

Aegis Firma's free browser extension discovers every AI tool in use across your team in under 3 minutes. It works without IT infrastructure access — each team member installs the extension and the AI tool inventory builds automatically. You see which tools are being used, by who, and what data categories they handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does shadow AI discovery work without IT access?

The Aegis Firma browser extension installs directly in each team member's browser. It detects when AI tool domains are accessed and reports to your dashboard — no IT infrastructure, VPN, or network access needed.

What privacy safeguards are in the extension?

The extension detects which AI tool domains are visited but does not capture any page content, form data, or what users type. It identifies the AI tool (e.g., "ChatGPT") but not what prompt was entered or what response was received.
