The gap
Shadow AI is already inside your company. The guardrails aren't.
Employees may be using public AI tools with contracts, client records, source code, or other company information to move faster, often without clear policies, visibility, or approved data controls. The productivity opportunity is real, and so is the exposure, especially in regulated work. boxIT helps close that gap without slowing your people down.
UnmanagedMost teams have no inventory of which AI tools touch company data.
UnboundedUnmanaged AI tools may store or use submitted data, depending on the platform and settings.
UngovernedNo acceptable-use policy leaves compliance and clients at risk.

Built for regulated work
We work daily with clients where compliance and client confidentiality are non-negotiable.
Vendor-neutral
Microsoft, Google, or purpose-built - we recommend what fits, not what we resell.
