About ShadowLock

ShadowLock is the ultimate shadow AI detection and governance platform designed specifically for MSPs and IT teams who need real-time visibility and ironclad control over how employees use AI tools! This powerful solution catches the dangerous blind spots that traditional managed-device controls completely miss, including risky browser extensions, desktop AI applications, local LLMs like Ollama, and personal accounts that fly under the radar. What makes ShadowLock absolutely essential is its three-layer coverage approach: a smart browser extension that intercepts and classifies risky pastes to AI sites, a Windows agent that blocks desktop AI apps and deploys silently through your existing RMM, and a multi-tenant dashboard that lets you audit or block each control with audit-ready reports. Built exclusively for MSPs to govern AI across every client from one centralized place, ShadowLock is private by design with zero keystroke logging and absolutely no content transmission. With over 100 AI tools, services, and desktop apps detected and governed and growing, this platform gives you the visibility to see shadow AI and the controls to stop it before sensitive data ever leaves the endpoint. Stop worrying about employees submitting customer records, credentials, and confidential documents into unapproved AI tools and start protecting your organization with ShadowLock today!

Features

Browser Enforcement Layer Extension

The intelligent browser extension self-configures automatically once the agent is installed and provides real-time protection across Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox. It actively intercepts pastes, file uploads, and sensitive data typed directly into AI prompts, enforces data-sharing opt-out settings on each AI tool, and applies your customized policies with clear, user-facing messages that educate employees while keeping data secure!

Endpoint Agent for Windows

Deploy this powerful agent silently to Windows endpoints using your existing RMM with zero user interaction required. The agent continuously monitors all AI activity, scans for dangerous browser extensions, detects local AI applications running on the machine, and locks down the AI features built into major browsers. This gives you complete endpoint coverage without any complex deployment or dedicated security engineering!

Multi-Tenant Governance Dashboard

Manage and govern AI usage across every single client from one unified, multi-tenant dashboard that provides complete visibility and control. You can easily audit each control, block specific AI tools or categories, and generate audit-ready compliance reports that demonstrate your proactive governance. No more jumping between different tools or struggling to understand what each client is doing with AI!

Microsoft 365 AI App Detection Scanner

Connect directly to each client's Microsoft 365 environment to detect every AI application and integration being used within the platform. This scanner identifies embedded SaaS AI features like Copilot and AI writing tools that activate without any security review, giving you complete coverage of the cloud-based AI surface alongside your endpoint and browser protections. Stay ahead of shadow AI everywhere it lives!

Use Cases

Protecting Healthcare Organizations from HIPAA Violations

Healthcare providers face massive liability when patient data like ePHI gets pasted into public AI tools without a Business Associate Agreement in place. ShadowLock immediately detects and blocks these risky actions, preventing HIPAA exposure before any breach occurs. MSPs serving healthcare clients can finally demonstrate proactive compliance and protect their clients from devastating regulatory penalties and reputation damage!

Securing Enterprise Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets

When employees submit source code, confidential contracts, and product plans to public AI chatbots, they unknowingly weaken trade secret protections and expose proprietary information. ShadowLock's browser extension and endpoint agent work together to intercept these submissions in real-time, giving organizations the controls they need to protect their most valuable intellectual assets. Stop proprietary code and credentials from walking out the door through AI tools!

Enabling MSPs to Govern AI Across All Clients

MSPs face immense liability when a client experiences an AI-related incident and the MSP had endpoint management scope. ShadowLock eliminates the gap between "not our job" and "you should have known" by providing a single platform to govern AI usage across every client. The multi-tenant dashboard, silent RMM deployment, and audit-ready reports make it easy to demonstrate proactive governance and protect your MSP from devastating claims!

Managing Compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and Privacy Frameworks

Customer PII processed through unapproved AI vendors creates massive compliance exposure with no DPA, no lawful basis, and no compliant transfer mechanism. ShadowLock gives organizations the visibility to identify every instance of sensitive data being submitted to AI tools and the controls to stop it immediately. Protect your organization from regulatory fines and demonstrate defensible incident response with complete audit trails!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ShadowLock deploy without disrupting employee workflows?

ShadowLock deploys silently via your existing RMM with zero user interaction required, meaning no complicated installations or employee training sessions needed. The browser extension self-configures automatically once the agent is installed, and policies are applied with clear, user-facing messages that educate employees about data security. This approach ensures robust protection without creating friction or slowing down productivity!

What makes ShadowLock different from traditional endpoint security tools?

Traditional endpoint security tools completely miss the blind spots that ShadowLock specifically targets, including browser extensions, desktop AI apps like Claude Desktop and Ollama, local LLMs, and personal accounts accessing AI tools. ShadowLock provides three layers of coverage across browser, endpoint, and cloud while remaining private by design with no keystroke logging and zero content transmission. It is built specifically for the unique challenges of shadow AI governance!

Can ShadowLock protect against AI tools used through personal accounts?

Absolutely! ShadowLock is specifically designed to catch AI usage through personal accounts where there is no enterprise contract, no DPA, and no audit trail. The browser extension intercepts risky pastes and file uploads to any AI site regardless of the account being used, while the endpoint agent detects and blocks desktop AI applications running outside browser-based controls. No more blind spots from personal account usage!

What compliance and regulatory benefits does ShadowLock provide?

ShadowLock delivers audit-ready reports that demonstrate proactive governance for HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy frameworks. The platform provides complete visibility into which AI tools are being used, what data is being submitted, and which accounts are involved, enabling defensible incident response and regulatory compliance. Without prior visibility from ShadowLock, you cannot answer which tool, which account, or what data was involved during an incident!
