Employees sign up with personal emails, install browser extensions, and paste data into web-based models - none of it routed through IT. In our pilot discovery scans, teams found three to four times more AI tools than IT had on record. By then, data has already left the building.
The hard part is not finding tools once. It is noticing the new one that appeared this morning.
No single signal catches everything, so Grasp watches all of them: SSO and IAM grants, the desktop agent, browser activity, and vendor enrichment. Each detected tool arrives with a risk classification, vendor profile, and the users behind it. Not a quarterly scan - a live picture that updates the moment something new appears.
A cleaner operating rhythm: find the signal, attach the context, route the decision, and keep the evidence.
Every OAuth grant and SSO login becomes a named tool with a named user behind it. No survey, no guesswork.
Grasp is designed to reuse the same inventory, risk, vendor, and evidence data across the frameworks your team already reports against.
You cannot classify what you have not found. Discovery is the first step of any EU AI Act inventory.
A.5.9 expects an accurate asset inventory. Shadow AI quietly breaks it; Grasp keeps the AI inventory honest.
A tool you do not know about can still process personal data. Discovery surfaces that exposure before an audit does.
An AI management system starts with knowing which AI systems exist. Grasp gives you that baseline on day one.
