What AI tools is your team using without you knowing?

In most companies, employees are already pasting company data into ChatGPT, Claude, meeting note-takers and browser extensions IT has never heard of. Our free audit surfaces them, scores the risk, and hands you a plan — in about 12 minutes.

How it works

Three steps. About 12 minutes.

As of April 2026, the Buzzi.ai Shadow AI Audit is a free 12-minute tool that helps business leaders find AI tools their teams use without IT's knowledge, score the risk on each one, and generate a governance scorecard, a data-protection checklist (DPIA), vendor questionnaires and a block-list for IT.

01

Discover

Paste an expense export, search for tools by name, pick an industry starter list, or connect Google Workspace so we can pull apps your people have already granted access to.

02

Survey

Walk through 12 short governance questions — one at a time. Or hand over to the AI interviewer if you’d rather talk than click.

03

Act

Get your audit report on one page — risk per tool, a governance scorecard, and priority actions. Sign in to unlock a CEO summary, a data-protection checklist (DPIA), per-vendor questionnaires, and a block-list ready for IT.

What you get

Everything you need to walk into a board meeting.

A risk score for every tool

From "everyone uses it safely" to "get it off your network today" — tiered by how the tool is used (free vs paid vs enterprise) and what data it touches.

A governance scorecard

How mature your controls are today. The fastest way to show your CEO or auditor where the real gaps sit.

A board-ready summary

A short, CEO-friendly summary of what’s in use, what’s risky, and what to do next. Sign in to generate it.

A block list for IT

Ready-to-import ban list in the formats your IT team already uses (Zscaler, Netskope, Palo Alto, iBoss, Cisco Umbrella and generic CSV).

Answers

Frequently asked questions.

What is shadow AI?

Shadow AI is any AI tool your employees use that IT doesn’t know about — personal ChatGPT Plus, browser extensions, free meeting note-takers, and workflow agents that handle company data without a formal review.

How long does the audit take?

About 10-12 minutes end to end. Add another 2-5 minutes if you sign in and use the Google Workspace scan.

Is anything from my Workspace scan stored?

No. The Workspace scan uses a read-only admin scope, and everything is purged automatically within 24 hours. See the trust page for details.

What do I get at the end?

A results page with risk scoring per tool, priority actions and peer benchmarks. Sign in with Google to unlock a CEO-ready summary, a data-protection checklist (DPIA), per-vendor questionnaires, and a block list ready for IT (Zscaler, Netskope, Palo Alto, iBoss, Umbrella or CSV).

Do you share or sell my audit data?

No. Audit data is used only to generate your report and anonymised peer benchmarks. We don’t sell or share it with third parties.

How accurate are the risk scores?

Scores are a starting point, not a verdict. They combine vendor-published terms, how the tool is used (free vs paid vs enterprise), the sensitivity of the data you handle, and your own governance maturity. See the methodology page for the full model.
