AI Shadow Audit Template Guide for Compliance Teams
Shadow AI risks compound when unregistered systems are not discovered. This guide defines a shadow audit workflow with discovery and registration steps.
Implementation Steps
- Define audit scope: departments, tool categories, and access patterns.
- Discover shadow AI: unregistered API usage, unauthorized tools, and hidden workloads.
- Classify findings by risk: high-risk unregistered, medium-risk policy gap, low-risk documentation.
- Assign remediation owner for each finding with registration deadline.
