AI System Registry and Discovery

A centralized, authenticated system of record for every AI application, model, and embedded SaaS utility across your enterprise footprint.

This module establishes a centralized, authenticated system of record for all artificial intelligence applications, foundational models, and embedded SaaS utilities across the enterprise footprint.

By capturing structural metadata, including deployment environments, hosting profiles, data classifications, and business ownership, the registry creates a clear starting point for organizational oversight.

Where operational visibility is incomplete, integrated discovery helpers assist in identifying unmapped network and endpoint AI usage, routing newly surfaced tools directly into the formal registry queue for review.

Optional: discovery of unregistered AI tools

Maintain visibility into the AI tools your organisation knows about and reviews.

Vigil24 supports AI system inventory and review workflows. Shadow-AI discovery sources, deployment options, and supported integrations depend on the configured product deployment. Discovered tools enter the same review queue as manually registered systems.

90%

Separately configured discovery capabilities

Browser-based signals

Where a browser-based discovery capability is enabled, AI tools accessed through supported browsers can be surfaced for review. Coverage depends on the deployed configuration.

Network-based signals

Where a network discovery capability is enabled, AI endpoints reached through the corporate network can be surfaced for review. Coverage depends on the deployed configuration.

Endpoint-based signals

Where an endpoint discovery capability is enabled, AI tools installed or running on managed devices can be surfaced for review. Coverage depends on the deployed configuration.

Register

Move the tool into the formal AI System registry so it enters the governance workflow.

Dismiss

Route the tool to a governance owner for prioritised review.

Backed by a catalogue of known AI services that is reviewed and updated. Availability of specific detections depends on the configured product deployment.
