Free Anonymous Survey

Find out which AI tools your employees are actually using.

The AI Shadow Survey is a free, anonymous survey for your whole team. In under five minutes per employee, it reveals which AI tools are in use across your organization, with no firewall logs, no finger pointing, and no involvement from your current IT provider.

Start Your Survey

Shadow AI is the use of AI tools by employees without company approval, oversight, or governance. It is the fastest growing data leak channel in compliance-driven businesses: patient records pasted into free chatbots, client portfolios summarized in unmanaged accounts, and confidential documents uploaded to tools nobody vetted. Most leadership teams underestimate their organization's AI usage because none of it appears in normal IT reporting.

How It Works

Three steps to an honest picture

1. Sign up

Sign up below and we send you a survey link to share with your team.

2. Your team answers

Employees answer anonymously in under five minutes; no names, no individual reports, no blame.

3. You get the picture

You get an aggregated report of which AI tools are in use, what kinds of data may be flowing into them, and what to do about it.

Why Anonymous Matters

Anonymity gets you the truth

Employees hide AI usage when they fear punishment, which makes the problem invisible and worse. Anonymity gets you the truth about what is actually in use, so you can put governance around it instead of pretending it is not happening. The goal is governance, not gotchas.

What Happens After

The first rung, not the whole ladder

The survey is the first rung. If the results concern you, the AI Readiness Assessment goes deeper: licensing gap analysis, a governance scorecard against your compliance obligations, and a prioritized roadmap.
