Core Features

Three layers.
Progressively deeper protection.

Phase 1 · In Development

Complete visibility before you touch a single policy.

Most organisations don't know how much AI usage is happening. ShadowAudit's first release is a zero-friction audit layer — a silent endpoint agent that maps your entire AI footprint before you write a single rule.

  • Real-Time Event Stream
    Every prompt, paste, and file upload to an AI tool is captured and timestamped at the OS layer — no network proxy required.
  • LLM Usage Telemetry
    See which AI platforms are used most, which teams drive the most traffic, and which models are receiving the most sensitive data.
  • Document & Data Classification
    Automatically tag outbound content by type — credentials, PII (Aadhaar, PAN), financial data, source code, and proprietary documents.
  • Breach Pattern Analytics
    Track repeat offenders, high-risk departments, peak-risk windows, and trending data types over time.
  • CISO Compliance Dashboard
    A centralized dashboard surfacing incident counts, top risks, endpoint coverage, and exportable audit trails.

How It Works

Endpoint-native.
No proxy. No latency.

Unlike legacy network DLP tools, ShadowAudit operates entirely at the OS layer — no TLS interception, no MITM proxy, no certificate pinning failures.

01

Agent installed on endpoint

A lightweight OS-native background agent is deployed to employee machines via MDM or silent installer. No VPN, no proxy configuration.

02

OS clipboard & UI layer monitored

The agent hooks into the OS clipboard API and accessibility layer — watching for data movements to AI apps without touching network packets.

03

Content classified in real time

Clipboard content is scanned locally on the device using pattern matching and classification models. No data is sent to ShadowAudit servers for analysis.

04

Policy applied: log / warn / block

Based on org-defined rules, the action is silently logged, the employee is warned with a coaching overlay, or the action is blocked entirely.

05

Telemetry synced to CISO dashboard

Event metadata (no raw sensitive content) is synced to the centralized dashboard. CISOs see trends, anomalies, and compliance posture in real time.

Why Not Legacy DLP?

What others miss.
What we intercept.
