THE VISIBILITY GAP

AI adoption is distributed, fast and often invisible to central teams.

Procurement records show approved platforms—not every browser extension, endpoint tool or emerging workflow. Scout gives security and governance teams a practical way to start from observed signals rather than assumptions.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Turn scattered signals into an AI exposure picture.

Scout combines technical discovery with governance context so findings can support real decisions.

01

Shadow AI discovery

Identify indicators of unsanctioned or previously unknown AI use across the assessed environment.

02

Application inventory

Organize discovered tools into a usable inventory for security, privacy, risk and governance teams.

03

Extension discovery

Review browser-extension metadata and permissions that can introduce AI-related exposure.

04

Endpoint indicators

Surface local signals that help establish how AI tools are entering enterprise workflows.

05

Exposure scoring

Prioritize observations through an explainable risk model rather than presenting an undifferentiated list.

06

Executive reporting

Translate discovery and governance questions into leadership-ready findings and next actions.

FROM DISCOVERY TO CONTROL

Finding shadow AI is the beginning—not the deliverable.

Scout is designed to create an actionable pathway from observed tools to risk decisions, governance ownership and proportionate technical controls.

01 / COLLECT

Assess the environment

Gather supported application, extension, endpoint and governance signals.

02 / ORGANIZE

Build the inventory

Normalize findings into a usable picture of the organization’s AI estate.

03 / PRIORITIZE

Score the exposure

Identify which tools, patterns and gaps deserve attention first.

04 / ACT

Create the pathway

Feed decisions into governance, assessment and Guardian policy enforcement.
