StartCloud's AI Usage Analysis service discovers all AI tools being used across your organisation, including shadow AI (unsanctioned tools employees use without IT approval). The service identifies data exposure risks, maps sensitive data flows to AI platforms, and helps build governance policies that scale. Covers ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, and hundreds of other AI services.

    AI Usage & Analysis

    See Every AI Tool. Control Every Risk.

    Harness the power of AI for advanced threat detection and security analytics, without the risk of uncontrolled adoption.

    Your employees are already using AI. The question is whether you have visibility, control, and governance around it. We help you embrace AI safely.

    The Basics

    What Is AI Usage & Analysis?

    AI Usage & Analysis gives you visibility into how AI tools are being used across your organisation, and the governance to control the risks they introduce.

    Shadow AI Discovery

    See exactly which AI tools are being used across your organisation, including the ones nobody told IT about. You cannot govern what you cannot see.

    Usage Analytics

    Understand how AI tools are being used, what data flows to them, and where the risks are. Data-driven insights for informed decisions.

    Governance Framework

    Build and enforce policies for safe AI adoption. From acceptable use policies to vendor assessments, we help you embrace AI without the risk.

    Why It Matters

    The Hidden Risks of Unmanaged AI

    AI adoption is accelerating whether you are ready or not. Here is why governance matters now, not later.

    Uncontrolled AI Adoption

    Employees are already using AI tools whether you know about it or not. Without visibility, you cannot manage the risks they introduce.

    Data Leakage Risk

    Sensitive company data pasted into ChatGPT, customer records shared with third-party AI tools. Without controls, your data is walking out the door.

    Regulatory Pressure

    Australian and international regulators are increasingly focused on AI governance. Getting ahead of compliance requirements now saves painful catch-up later.

    Comprehensive Protection

    Intelligent Capabilities

    From discovery to governance, everything you need to manage AI usage safely.
