Managed Shadow AI SecurityShadow AI Detection, Data Protection, and Policy Enforcement.
Your people already use ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and a long list of AI tools you never approved. Boom Logic finds every one of them, stops sensitive data from going into the wrong prompt, and enforces an AI policy your leadership signs off on—deployed and run by our engineers on Acronis GenAI Protection or Microsoft Purview.
Breach statistics: IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025
Your Data Is Already in Someone’s Prompt. The Question Is Whose.
IBM’s 2025 breach research found that one in five organizations suffered a breach tied to shadow AI, and those incidents took longer to detect than the average breach. Firewalls and web filters were not built to see a prompt.
Invisible by Default
Most AI use happens in a browser tab on a personal account. It never shows up as a new application, a purchase order, or a login your team manages.
Every Prompt Is an Upload
Pasting a patient note, a client contract, or source code into a chatbot sends it to a third party whose retention and training terms you never reviewed.
Banning It Backfires
Blocking every AI site pushes people to phones and home laptops where you see nothing. Governance works when the approved path is easier than the workaround.
See It. Govern It. Prove It.
One managed program that turns unknown AI use into an approved, monitored, and documented part of how your organization works.
Shadow AI Discovery
Continuous inventory of the generative AI tools in use across your endpoints and browsers—which tools, which departments, how often, and which ones handle sensitive data.
Sensitive Data Protection
Prompts and file uploads inspected for regulated and confidential data—PII, PHI, payment data, and your own custom data types—then warned, blocked, or logged by policy.
Harmful Prompt Blocking
Detection of prompt injection and other malicious prompt techniques that try to manipulate AI tools or pull data out through them.
Approved and Blocked AI Apps
A sanctioned list your leadership signs off on. Approved tools stay open with guardrails; risky or unvetted AI apps are blocked on managed devices.
AI Acceptable Use Policy
A written policy that matches what the tools actually enforce, acknowledged by every employee, so expectations and controls say the same thing.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness
For Microsoft 365 organizations, oversharing checks and data protection policies that keep Copilot from surfacing files people should not see.
Monthly AI Usage Reporting
A plain-English report for leadership: top tools, usage trends, blocked events, and policy changes, with the evidence auditors and insurers ask for.
Alert Review and Tuning
Our engineers review policy alerts, tune false positives, vet newly discovered AI tools, and adjust rules as your approved list changes.
Fits Your Security Stack
Runs alongside the endpoint detection and response, email security, and 24/7/365 SOC coverage in your Boom 365 plan—one team, one invoice.
Two Proven Platforms. We Run the One That Fits.
We deploy, configure, and manage the platform that matches the environment you already have—so shadow AI security lands on tools your team can live with, not another console to babysit.
Acronis GenAI Protection
Best Fit: Mixed Environments and Acronis Stacks
- Discovers and monitors browser-based generative AI tools
- Inspects prompts for PII, PHI, and payment data before they are sent
- Detects and blocks prompt injection and other harmful prompts
- Runs on the existing Acronis agent—no second agent to deploy
- Pairs with Acronis data loss prevention across local and network channels
Microsoft Purview
Best Fit: Microsoft 365 Organizations
- DSPM for AI reports on Copilot and third-party AI activity
- Endpoint data loss prevention warns or blocks sensitive pastes and uploads to AI sites
- Defender for Cloud Apps discovers generative AI apps so we can mark risky ones unsanctioned
- Oversharing controls ahead of a Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout
- Licensing mapped up front—some features need add-ons or pay-as-you-go billing
Managed Shadow AI Security is an add-on to any Boom 365 plan, or a standalone managed service. Compare plans on the Boom 365 pricing page.

What Shadow AI Security Actually Looks Like.
Real product screens from the two platforms we manage. We watch these consoles for you and turn them into a monthly report your leadership can read in five minutes.
Product screenshots are shown as published by their vendors and display sample data, not client data.
Discover. Decide. Enforce. Report.
A staged rollout that earns buy-in before it blocks anything.
Deploy the platform in monitor-only mode and build a baseline: which AI tools are in use, by whom, and what data is going into them.
Review the findings with leadership, set the approved AI list, and adopt an AI acceptable use policy that matches your regulatory obligations.
Turn on data protection, harmful prompt blocking, and app controls in stages—warnings first where it helps adoption, hard blocks where the risk demands it.
Monthly reporting, alert review, new-tool vetting, and policy tuning, so governance keeps pace with the tools your people pick up next.
Organizations Whose Data Cannot End Up in a Chatbot.
If you handle patient records, privileged communications, tax returns, donor data, or controlled information, shadow AI is a compliance problem as much as a security one.
Industry programs: healthcare, legal, accounting firms, defense contractors, and media and entertainment.
Write the Policy Before You Flip the Switch.
Enforcement without a policy feels arbitrary to employees, and a policy without enforcement is a suggestion. Every Managed Shadow AI Security rollout starts with an AI acceptable use policy that names the approved tools, the data that never goes into a prompt, and what happens when someone crosses the line. Read our AI acceptable use policy template and enforcement guide.
