01 / The reality

You inherited "AI governance" without a budget, a team, or a tool. The exec team is excited about AI. The legal team flagged it as a risk. Nobody has actually mapped what your team is using.

Meanwhile a regulator, a customer's security team, or your own auditor is going to ask the question. The answer can't be "we don't know."

P · 0127 AI tools are active right now in a typical 50-person company. You've been told about three of them.
P · 02143 sensitive prompts are sent to public AI tools per company per month. Every paste of a customer record is a potential leak.
P · 03+26.2% longer to identify and contain a shadow data breach (IBM 2024). That's a regulatory eternity.
P · 04+$670,000 added to your next breach if Shadow AI is involved. Ignoring this isn't free.

04 / When you bring this to your CFO

Three numbers that close the budget conversation.

Northbeams runs about $15,000 a year for a 60-person team on annual Sentinel billing. The IBM 2024 report shows breaches involving Shadow AI cost $670,000 more than equivalent breaches without it. Plus $160 per leaked record.

Shadow data breaches take 26.2% longer to identify and contain. Northbeams cuts that detection window to under 24 hours.

Forward your CFO the calculator and they'll do the math themselves.
