Staff use personal AI accounts for work ("shadow AI")

business data flowing through personal accounts is invisible to you and to your insurer — and it's how customer data leaks without anyone noticing.

Why underwriters ask about it

business data flowing through personal accounts is invisible to you and to your insurer — and it's how customer data leaks without anyone noticing.

How to fix it

  1. Ask staff — without blame — which AI tools they actually use for work. Add them to the inventory.
  2. Pick the approved list and create business accounts for those tools.
  3. Tell staff plainly: work data only in business accounts, and never the categories in R5.1.
  4. Have each person sign the one-page policy (R10.1) so the rule is on record.
