Overview

Teams quietly spun up an unapproved AI pipeline months ago, and security just uncovered a proven way sensitive data could leak. No breach has been confirmed yet, leaving Bishop Fox CISO Christie Terrill to decide whether to pull the plug or keep business operations moving.

Alongside host Christine Bartlett, Christie works through the real-world fallout of shadow AI. She pushes back against "compliance games" during an active SOC 2 audit, weighs strict client contract terms against practical risk, and puts audit sign-offs on hold to ensure honest disclosure. 

Rather than chasing a spotless audit report, Christie shows how risk-tiered governance and open collaboration keep fast-moving AI teams accountable.
