Shadow AI & data exposure

Your data is already leaving.

Every day, employees paste proprietary information into AI tools you don't control. SigmaEra is the one layer between your people and every model they touch — every interaction governed and logged, and on an in-boundary deployment the whole data plane stays inside your own infrastructure.

The Problem

The shape of the problem.

These are the numbers organizations find once they finally have a way to measure it.

59%

of employees use AI tools for work their employer has not approved, and three-quarters of those say they have pasted in potentially sensitive information.

86%

of enterprises have no documented AI strategy with clear goals — so every team picks its own tools with nothing coordinating them.

89%

of enterprise AI usage happens outside corporate identity controls — no audit trail, no governance, no ROI data behind it.

Shadow AI & data exposure

Employees are adopting AI tools faster than IT can evaluate them. Proprietary data is flowing into systems the organization doesn't control, with no audit trail and no governance.

Today

  • Employees using unsanctioned AI tools with no visibility
  • Proprietary data pasted into systems the company doesn't control
  • No audit trail for AI interactions across the organization
  • No way to enforce AI usage policies consistently

With SigmaEra

  • Unified AI governance across every team and tool
  • Full audit trail for all AI interactions
  • Data stays inside the organization's security perimeter
  • Policy enforcement applied consistently and automatically

You cannot govern what you cannot see.

SigmaEra is one layer between your people and every model they touch. Every interaction is governed, logged, and attributable — and where the deployment requires it, the entire data plane runs inside your own boundary. The longer it runs, the more it knows.

The SigmaEra Approach

One intelligence layer. Total control.

Five capabilities, one governed surface. Each one compounds the last.

Five stages · Protect → Emerge
  1. 01

    Protect

    Every AI interaction runs through a security layer that classifies PII, gates sensitive content at every read, and keeps isolation enforced by the database rather than by application code.

  2. 02

    Orchestrate

    One platform governs all AI usage — meetings, documents, workflows, chat — with full audit trails.

  3. 03

    Automate

    Self-learning agents discover repetitive patterns and build automations without being asked.

  4. 04

    Compound

    Corporate knowledge accumulates into a company-specific model that gets smarter every week.

  5. 05

    Emerge

    Over time, entirely new capabilities and insights surface — things no one thought to look for. This is the part you can't buy anywhere else.

The Compound Effect

Intelligence that builds on itself.

In Practice

What this actually looks like.

Sensitive data classified before it left the perimeter

  1. 1

    Meeting Summarizer

    Input & Translation

    Ingests meeting recording — every model call routed through the governed gateway, to an in-boundary model where the deployment requires it

  2. 2

    Security Sentinel

    Enterprise Intelligence

    Flags 3 mentions of unreleased product roadmap and one instance of customer PII in meeting transcript

  3. 3

    Compliance Auditor

    Intelligence & Analysis

    Cross-checks flagged content against GDPR and internal data handling policies — risk level: High

  4. 4

    Ethics Guardian

    Meta-Intelligence

    Validates that automated response stays within approved governance boundaries before any action is taken

  5. 5

    Compliance Historian

    Meta-Intelligence

    Logs complete incident record with evidence chain — immutable audit trail ready for regulatory review

Every AI interaction governed through one policy enforcement point — with a full audit trail of every sensitivity-filtered read.

Stop leaking data. Start compounding intelligence.

Close the Gap

  • Runs air-gapped inside your own boundary
  • Full audit trail on every interaction
  • 100 agents, one control plane
