Governing Software You Didn’t Write

AI will build your next app. Make sure you can govern it.

Your employees are already building software with AI. The real question is what your organization owns once they do.

Every AI building tool leaves you with one of two things: a code repository your team must patch, secure, and maintain for the life of the app, or an application that inherits identity, access control, and audit trails from the moment it exists. That single difference predicts your security posture, your compliance defensibility, and your total cost of ownership. This briefing gives you the evidence, the compliance lines that matter, and a playbook you can start using this week.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

Download the briefing to learn how to:

  • Find the AI built apps you already have. Run five discovery sweeps and a 30-day amnesty window to surface the real number.
  • Choose the architecture that decides your risk. Ask the one question that tells you what you are really buying from any AI building vendor, and know what each answer commits your team to.
  • Clear the compliance wall with proof. Learn what a BAA covers and what it leaves out, and how to sort every vendor claim into three evidence classes so you can stop trusting words like “ready” and “aligned.”
  • Price the whole trajectory before the prototype. See the four costs that appear only after an app succeeds: the usage meter, the seat wall, the maintenance burden, and the compliance retrofit.
  • Triage what is already built. Decide whether to retrofit, rebuild, or retire each app, based on the kind of flaws you find.
  • Stand up governance in 30 days. Follow a week-by-week sequence for inventory, ownership, data classification, and a procurement gate your builders will actually use.

Ready-to-use tools inside:

A 12-point governance checklist, 10 questions to ask before connecting AI to business data, and a five-question email that verifies any vendor’s compliance claims.

The demand for AI-built software is permanent. The organizations that govern where apps are born will control the outcome. Download your copy now and give your builders a governed place to land.
