AI Control Enforcement

Shadow Detection

Use available identity, access and system activity to surface likely Shadow AI and rogue or ghost agents operating outside approved company controls.

The unmanaged layer

AI can gain business access before management knows it exists.

Shadow AI is AI used inside a company without formal approval or central visibility. It can begin with a personal AI account connected through an employee identity, a browser tool given access to company information, or a vendor feature enabled outside the approved process.

A rogue or ghost agent is automated AI activity without a registered, accountable identity inside the company's control environment. It may be intentional, forgotten or inherited through another service.

Detection review

Bring likely unmanaged AI activity into view.

Available signals

Look for activity that does not match approved AI identities.

Holiday uses the identity, access and system activity that is available in the connected environment.

Identity activity

Employee credentials, service identities and authentication events can reveal unusual AI connections.

Access activity

Permissions and connected application access can show where an unapproved service may have entered.

Cross-system patterns

Repeated automated behaviour across email, finance or operations can be compared with registered AI identities.

Practical boundaries

What Holiday can and cannot detect.

Holiday can surface likely activity when signals are available.

Connected identity, access and system records can be used to identify behaviour that may sit outside company policy and needs investigation.

Holiday cannot see activity outside the available environment.

Detection is limited by the systems connected, the records those systems expose, and the access granted to Holiday. A signal supports review; it is not automatic proof of misuse.

Management response
