Today’s version of the Trojan horse doesn’t need to sneak past your gate in the dead of night. It’s a software update to something you already let in.

Second preview ahead of tomorrow’s webinar, and this one’s about a blind spot I see constantly.

Most compliance officers think about shadow AI as employees going out and signing up for some random chatbot.

That happens, but the bigger risk right now is AI features quietly embedded inside software you already license and already approved.

Your document platform, your video conferencing tool, your CRM, they’re all rolling out built-in AI features, and nobody experiences turning one on as adopting a new AI tool.

It just feels like clicking a button in software you already trust.

That’s exactly why it slips past your vendor approval process.

An approved product does not mean every feature inside it is approved.

Each AI feature needs its own review, its own data classification, its own yes or no.

Tomorrow’s webinar will walk through exactly how to build a living registry that tracks standalone tools and embedded features separately, so nothing gets a free pass just because it showed up inside something you already trusted.
