The AuthenTech AI Journey

A proven methodology to eliminate shadow AI risk while enabling teams with governed AI access

1

Phase 1: Shadow AI Risk Check (Days 1-7)

We discover what AI tools your teams are actually using, assess compliance gaps, and quantify your risk exposure. Deliverable: Shadow AI Risk Report with all tools discovered, risk ratings, use case analysis, and governance roadmap.

2

Phase 2: Platform Setup & Integration (Days 8-14)

We deploy the governed AI platform, integrate with your identity provider, configure PHI protection, and prepare for pilot launch. Includes multi-model AI access, automatic PHI/PII protection, SSO integration, complete audit logs, and role-based access.

3

Phase 3: 6-Week Pilot & Validation (Days 15-60)

Pilot users get governed AI access, we track results, gather feedback, and validate ROI before organization-wide rollout. Typical results: 92% weekly active users, 4.5 hrs saved per user/week, 100% shadow AI elimination.

4

Phase 4: Enterprise Rollout & Scale (Days 61-90)

Based on pilot success, we roll out governed AI to the entire organization while maintaining governance and measuring results. Department-by-department rollout, advanced training, org-wide access, 90-day governance audit.

  • Complete compliance and audit trail

  • Measured productivity gains

  • Validated ROI (typically 3:1 - 8:1)

Why This Methodology Works

Discovery Before Solution

You can't govern what you don't know exists. Starting with shadow AI discovery ensures we address real usage, not theoretical risks.

Pilot Validates ROI

6-week pilot proves value before org-wide investment. Eliminates buyer's remorse and builds internal champions.

Enablement + Governance

We don't just block shadow AI — we replace it with something better. Users adopt because they gain capability, not lose it.

Phased Rollout Reduces Risk

Gradual expansion (pilot to department to org-wide) catches issues early and builds confidence before full deployment.
