❌

Curbing shadow AI is a manual, disruptive, and delayed forensics process (if done at all).

❌

Employees are frustrated by archaic IT policies that block AI altogether. They find workarounds, leaving your data at risk.

❌

Spreadsheets are used to track compliance scope, access reviews, SSO enrollment, and more.

❌

AI policies are difficult to build up and maintain at pace that keeps up with AI, if they're even drafted at all. Third-party vendor risk assessments are conducted infrequently with stale vendor data.

❌

Employees grant privileged access to AI tools and agents without any oversight.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Nudge Security's AI security governance solution

How does Nudge Security detect AI use?

Nudge Security uses a layered approach to discover AI use, starting with email-based discovery that works via a lightweight integration into your organization’s email provider (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) and analyzes emails received from SaaS providers to identify account creation and other activity related to AI tools. From there, you can deploy our browser extension to gain deeper, real-time insights into frequency of AI use, file upload activity, password hygiene, and more. Nudge Security also offers API integrations into your business critical SaaS apps so you can monitor for integrations with AI tools that could allow data access.

How does the AI conversation monitoring work?

Nudge Security's AI conversation monitoring works through our browser extension, which provides real-time visibility into how employees interact with AI tools. The extension monitors for key activities such as file uploads, copy-paste events, and API key usage, giving you insights into what data is being shared with AI apps. Monitoring happens directly in the browser without requiring network proxies or endpoint agents, allowing you to identify risky behaviors.

How quickly can I discover AI use in my org?

Most organizations can deploy Nudge Security in under an hour. Our platform integrates with your existing identity providers (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, Entra ID) and doesn't require any endpoint agents or network proxies. You'll start receiving insights about AI tool usage immediately after deployment, allowing you to take action from Day One.

What AI tools can Nudge Security detect?

Nudge Security can detect virtually any AI tool being used in your organization, including popular options like ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Gemini, and those you've never heard of.  Our platform uses machine learning to recognize new AI tools as they emerge, without the need for new discovery rules to be added, or the need for you to input a list of tools to look for. This approach ensures you maintain visibility even as the AI landscape evolves.

How does Nudge Security help with compliance?

Nudge Security helps organizations meet compliance requirements by providing comprehensive documentation of AI tool usage, data handling practices, and user behaviors. This documentation is essential for demonstrating due diligence in AI governance to auditors and regulators. Additionally, our platform helps enforce compliance policies through automated workflows and user guidance.

How can I see integrations with AI tools?

Nudge Security discovers and inventories the SaaS-to-AI integrations over MCP, API, webhooks, and other app marketplace connectors that share potentially sensitive enterprise SaaS data with third-party AI tools and agents. Additionally, you can use our growing list of connected apps to gain deeper visibility, including API integrations with AI apps. This gives you comprehensive visibility into where AI tools have been granted access to other systems, by whom, and what level of access was granted.

Can you discover AI assets created before Nudge Security was deployed?

Yes. Our patented email-based discovery surfaces all AI apps and accounts, even those created before Nudge Security was deployed. Additionally, our integration with your IdP discovers OAuth grants that enable data sharing with AI apps (even those created in the past) and our API connections into your other critical SaaS apps discovers app-to-app integrations that allow AI tools access to your data, including MCP connections.

What AI assets can Nudge Security detect?

Nudge Security can discover: AI apps, user accounts, OAuth integrations between AI tools and other apps, API integrations between AI tools and other apps, MCP integrations, AI in the supply chain of other SaaS providers, data shared via AI prompts, trends of AI tool adoption and usage patterns, and spend on AI tools.

Can Nudge Security help with AI risk assessments?

Yes. Nudge Security provides a vendor security profile for every AI app discovered (as well as every other SaaS app) which includes: Security program details, data training policy summaries, breach history, data locality, compliance attestations, and supply chain mapping.

Can Nudge Security discover MCP server integrations?

Yes. Nudge Security discovers MCP server integration via our analysis of OAuth grants enabled by connecting to your IdP. Nudge can also discovery MCP integrations via our connected apps, API integrations that can be enabled with your business critical SaaS apps to monitor for risky integrations, security misconfigurations, and identity security risks.
