###### BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD

## Questions this diagnostic answers

What is shadow AI, and why is it a risk?

Shadow AI is unsanctioned AI agents and tools running without IT approval or visibility. It creates data, identity, and compliance exposure on endpoints you may not be watching. The diagnostic scores how exposed you are.

How do I assess my organization’s AI agent risk?

Map where agents run and whether those endpoints are visible and compliant, then weigh your governance gaps. The diagnostic walks you through 9 questions and returns a risk tier.

How do I find unsanctioned AI agents in my environment?

Start with real-time endpoint visibility, you cannot see agents on devices you are not watching. Tanium surfaces shadow AI on the endpoint so you can act on it.

What should I do after I find shadow AI?

Bring it under lifecycle governance with Microsoft 365 E7 and Agent 365, and keep the endpoints it runs on compliant with Tanium. The diagnostic gives tailored next steps by tier.

How exposed are Microsoft-stack enterprises to shadow AI?

Most have more unsanctioned AI than they can see, because endpoint visibility lags adoption. The diagnostic benchmarks your exposure in minutes.
