Inventory & assess
We map every AI tool in use, including "shadow AI", who owns it, what data it touches and how much risk it carries.
AI governance & compliance
Use AI with confidence, and with the paperwork to prove it.
Regulators, insurers and your own customers are starting to ask how you use AI. GDS Technology builds governance into every platform we deploy, and helps you put policies, controls and records in place so you have answers ready when they ask.

Why it matters now
The rules for business AI are being written right now
Adopting AI without governance creates risk you may not see until a claim, an audit or a customer asks.
-
New regulations
The EU AI Act, U.S. state laws such as Colorado's AI Act, and sector rules in healthcare, finance and employment are setting expectations for transparency, risk assessment and human oversight.
-
Insurance scrutiny
Cyber and liability carriers are adding AI questions to applications and renewals, and some policies now limit coverage for AI-related incidents. Clear controls and documentation help.
-
Customer & partner trust
Enterprise customers and vendors increasingly ask how you use AI in security reviews and contracts. A governance program gives you answers you can stand behind.
Shadow AI
Do you know which AI tools your staff are using right now?
Most businesses don't. Employees sign up for free AI chatbots, browser extensions and meeting note-takers on their own, and paste in customer records, contracts, financials and source code. That data leaves your control, and you have no record of where it went.
-
Data leaks
Confidential and customer data typed into public AI tools may be stored, reviewed or used for training.
-
Compliance exposure
Personal, health or financial data processed by unapproved AI can break privacy and industry rules.
-
Insurance gaps
Carriers now ask about AI use. Unknown tools mean answers you can't back up, or claims that aren't covered.
-
No audit trail
Personal accounts and unapproved apps leave no record of what was shared, by whom, or when.
What a Shadow AI assessment covers
- DiscoverFind the AI apps, extensions and accounts in use across your business, from ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grok and Gemini to the tools nobody approved.
- AssessSee what data each tool touches and rank the risk.
- GovernApprove safe tools, block risky ones, and roll out a clear AI use policy.
- ReportGet a plain-language report you can share with leadership, auditors and your insurer.
Our approach
Governance built into every deployment
Whether it's one of our platforms or AI tools you already use, we follow the same process.
Policy & accountability
An AI acceptable-use policy, named owners and an approval process for new AI tools, written in plain language your staff will actually follow.
Controls
Human review for high-impact outputs, role-based access, data minimization, vendor review, and logging of who did what.
Document
A living record of systems, risks, decisions and controls, organized for auditors, insurers and customer security reviews.
Monitor & report
Ongoing checks for accuracy, drift and misuse, regular governance reports, and updates as laws and insurer requirements change.
Regulatory alignment
Mapped to the frameworks regulators reference
Instead of chasing each new rule on its own, we build your program on established frameworks that regulators and auditors already recognize. As new laws arrive, most of the work is already done.
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework
- ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems)
- EU AI Act risk categories
- U.S. state AI laws (e.g. Colorado)
- Sector rules: HIPAA, GLBA, employment
- Data privacy: GDPR, CCPA/CPRA
Insurance readiness
Do you have a written AI use policy?Yes
Is there an inventory of AI tools in use?Yes
Are AI outputs reviewed before use?Yes
Is sensitive data kept out of public AI tools?Yes
Are AI vendors security-reviewed?Yes
Is staff trained on AI risks?Yes
AI security testing & red teaming
Governance you can prove, tested the way attackers would
A policy on paper doesn't stop a chatbot from leaking customer data. Our security team has verified access to frontier AI for advanced cybersecurity work, including penetration testing and red teaming. We use it to pressure-test your AI systems before attackers, auditors or insurers find the gaps.
GDS Technology is verified under Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program, which vets security organizations to use Claude for defensive work such as penetration testing and red teaming. Our AI security work runs under Anthropic's usage policy and safeguards.
Prompt injection & jailbreaks
Can someone talk your AI assistant into ignoring its rules or revealing what it shouldn't?
Data leakage
Can customer records, internal documents or credentials be pulled out through the AI?
Access & integrations
Are connected tools, APIs and permissions scoped so a compromised AI can't do damage?
Findings you can act on
A prioritized report with fixes, plus evidence for your governance file and insurer.
Built into our platforms
Governed by design, not bolted on
Human in the loop
Approval steps before AI output reaches customers or goes live, where it matters.
Audit trail
Activity logs record what the AI did, when it did it and who approved it.
Data boundaries
Clear rules on what data each platform can access, how long it's kept and where it goes.
Access control
Role-based permissions, so people only see and change what they're responsible for.
Vendor due diligence
We review the underlying AI providers' security, data use and contract terms.
Transparency
Disclosures where people interact with AI, and plain-language explanations of how it's used.
FAQ
AI governance questions
We're a small business. Do AI regulations really apply to us?
Many AI rules apply based on what the AI is used for rather than company size. Hiring, lending, insurance, healthcare and customer-facing decisions get the most attention. Insurers and enterprise customers are also asking businesses of every size. A governance review shows where you stand and what's worth doing now.
Can you help with our cyber insurance application or renewal?
Yes. We help you put the controls in place and assemble the documentation underwriters ask for about AI use, and we can work alongside your broker. Coverage decisions are always up to your carrier.
Does this cover AI tools we already use, like ChatGPT or Copilot?
Yes. We support and work with ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grok and Gemini. Governance covers all AI in your business, not just the platforms we sell, so existing tools and shadow AI go into the inventory and the policy.
How do you keep up as laws change?
Your program is built on recognized frameworks such as NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, and we review it on a regular schedule as new laws and insurer requirements take effect.
What does AI security testing involve?
Our team runs controlled, authorized tests against your AI tools and chatbots, including prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, data-extraction attempts and permission checks. We only test systems you own or are authorized to test, under a written scope, and you get a prioritized report with fixes.
Is this legal advice?
No. We provide technical and operational governance services. For legal interpretation of specific laws, we work alongside your attorney.
Find out where your AI use stands
Book an AI governance review. We'll inventory your current AI use, flag the gaps and show you what regulators and insurers are likely to ask.
