Overview

The Shadow AI Risk and Governance Training Course is a five-day intermediate course for risk managers, compliance teams, information security teams, technology leaders, procurement teams, and business managers who leave with a Shadow AI Control Plan. The course connects use discovery, business need, data exposure, risk tiering, vendor review, approved alternatives, policy, monitoring, incident response, and adoption measures. Agile Leaders Training Center delivers this course on shadow AI risk and governance.

Who Should Attend

  • Risk functions responsible for identifying, assessing, and treating technology risk
  • Security functions responsible for data exposure, access, monitoring, and response
  • Compliance functions responsible for policy, evidence, and control assurance
  • Technology functions responsible for approved AI services and application visibility
  • Procurement functions responsible for supplier review and contractual controls
  • Business functions responsible for AI use cases and employee adoption

The course assumes participants contribute to risk, technology, procurement, or business controls and leaves out penetration testing, legal opinions, and product implementation.

FAQs

Who suits the Shadow AI Risk and Governance Training Course?

Risk, compliance, security, technology, procurement, and business managers suit the course; it assumes involvement in AI use, governance, or organizational controls.

How does shadow AI risk differ from general AI governance?

Shadow AI risk focuses on unauthorized or unmanaged tools, agents, APIs, users, and data flows that are outside established inventory, approval, monitoring, and control processes.

Why do employees use shadow AI?

Employees may use shadow AI when approved options are unavailable, difficult to access, poorly matched to tasks, or less convenient than public tools, making unmet needs part of the risk assessment.

How should organizations respond to discovered shadow AI?

Organizations should assess use, data, impact, and need; then select education, migration, approval, monitoring, restriction, exception, or blocking actions proportionate to the risk.

What belongs in a Shadow AI Control Plan?

A Shadow AI Control Plan links discovery sources, inventory, risk tiers, vendors, approved alternatives, policies, controls, exceptions, monitoring, incident response, owners, and measures.

Conclusion

Participants leave with a Shadow AI Control Plan connecting visibility, business need, data exposure, risk tiers, approved options, monitoring, and response. The work product changes hidden AI usage into documented control decisions. It gives teams a reusable structure for vendor review, exceptions, education, enforcement, incidents, and performance measurement.
