AdminThe AI Governance Challenges We Hear About
Every day, organisations tell us the same six struggles as AI adoption races ahead of their controls.
Shadow AI
Employees using unapproved AI tools with no visibility or oversight, creating hidden exposure across the business.
Data Leakage
Sensitive company and customer data being pasted into public AI tools with no controls over where it ends up.
Regulatory Pressure
Tightening requirements like the EU AI Act, GDPR and sector rules that are hard to interpret and map to day-to-day AI use.
No Policy or Ownership
No clear AI policy, no accountable owner, and no agreed standards, so every team makes its own rules.
Untrained Staff
Teams experimenting with AI without guidance on what is acceptable, what is risky, or how to spot a problem.
No Audit Trail
Unable to evidence to boards, clients or regulators how AI is being used, controlled, or reviewed.
