Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Sorvek's AI security governance solution
How does Sorvek detect AI use?
Sorvek uses a layered approach to discover AI use, starting with email-based discovery that works via a lightweight integration into your organization’s email provider (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) and analyzes emails received from SaaS providers to identify account creation and other activity related to AI tools. From there, you can deploy our browser extension to gain deeper, real-time insights into frequency of AI use, file upload activity, password hygiene, and more. Sorvek also offers API integrations into your business critical SaaS apps so you can monitor for integrations with AI tools that could allow data access.
How does the AI conversation monitoring work?
Sorvek's AI conversation monitoring works through our browser extension, which provides real-time visibility into how employees interact with AI tools. The extension monitors for key activities such as file uploads, copy-paste events, and API key usage, giving you insights into what data is being shared with AI apps. Monitoring happens directly in the browser without requiring network proxies or endpoint agents, allowing you to identify risky behaviors.
How quickly can I discover AI use in my org?
Most organizations can deploy Sorvek in under an hour. Our platform integrates with your existing identity providers (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, Entra ID) and doesn't require any endpoint agents or network proxies. You'll start receiving insights about AI tool usage immediately after deployment, allowing you to take action from Day One.
What AI tools can Sorvek detect?
Sorvek can detect virtually any AI tool being used in your organization, including popular options like ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Gemini, and those you've never heard of. Our platform uses machine learning to recognize new AI tools as they emerge, without the need for new discovery rules to be added, or the need for you to input a list of tools to look for. This approach ensures you maintain visibility even as the AI landscape evolves.
How does Sorvek help with compliance?
Sorvek helps organizations meet compliance requirements by providing comprehensive documentation of AI tool usage, data handling practices, and user behaviors. This documentation is essential for demonstrating due diligence in AI governance to auditors and regulators. Additionally, our platform helps enforce compliance policies through automated workflows and user guidance.
How can I see integrations with AI tools?
Sorvek discovers and inventories the SaaS-to-AI integrations over MCP, API, webhooks, and other app marketplace connectors that share potentially sensitive enterprise SaaS data with third-party AI tools and agents. Additionally, you can use our growing list of connected apps to gain deeper visibility, including API integrations with AI apps. This gives you comprehensive visibility into where AI tools have been granted access to other systems, by whom, and what level of access was granted.
What AI assets can Sorvek detect?
Sorvek can discover: AI apps, user accounts, OAuth integrations between AI tools and other apps, API integrations between AI tools and other apps, MCP integrations, AI agents (including shadow agents built without IT approval, discovered via API and browser-based channels), AI in the supply chain of other SaaS providers, data shared via AI prompts, trends of AI tool adoption and usage patterns, and spend on AI tools.
Can you discover AI assets created before Sorvek was deployed?
Yes. Our patented email-based discovery surfaces all AI apps and accounts, even those created before Sorvek was deployed. Additionally, our integration with your IdP discovers OAuth grants that enable data sharing with AI apps (even those created in the past) and our API connections into your other critical SaaS apps discovers app-to-app integrations that allow AI tools access to your data, including MCP connections.
Can Sorvek help with AI risk assessments?
Yes. Sorvek provides a vendor security profile for every AI app discovered (as well as every other SaaS app) which includes: Security program details, data training policy summaries, breach history, data locality, compliance attestations, and supply chain mapping.
Can Sorvek discover MCP server integrations?
Yes. Sorvek discovers MCP server integration via our analysis of OAuth grants enabled by connecting to your IdP. Sorvek can also discovery MCP integrations via our connected apps, API integrations that can be enabled with your business critical SaaS apps to monitor for risky integrations, security misconfigurations, and identity security risks.
Can Sorvek discover and govern AI agents?
Yes. Sorvek uses two complementary discovery channels to find the agents employees build across enterprise platforms. API-based discovery covers Salesforce Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Google Gemini, ServiceNow, n8n, Tines, ChatGPT, Abacus.AI, and Workato. Browser-based discovery covers platforms without APIs—like Cursor, OpenAI Agents Workflows, ChatGPT workspace agents, Atlassian Rovo, Retool, and more—using the Sorvek browser extension. For every agent discovered, you see who built it, what it connects to, what permissions it holds, and what risks it carries. From there, you can set approval status, assign a technical contact, and notification the creator to confirm intent and remediate risk.
How does Sorvek compare to other options for AI security?
Only Sorvek uncovers shadow AI and automates guardrails for safe AI adoption as part of a complete SaaS security and governance solution.
Sorvek is often compared to tools that fall into a few specific categories. The comparison pages listed below will help you understand important differences to consider:
Sorvek vs. AI Security Solutions
Sorvek vs. SaaS Management Platforms (SMP)
Sorvek vs. Traditional SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) Solutions
Why is Sorvek the best solution for AI security?
Sorvek the ideal AI security solution because it can not only discover AI applications but also uncover where AI is embedded and integrated across the entire SaaS ecosystem. As the AI landscape continues to evolve and SaaS providers add AI-enabled capabilities, the line between what constitutes and “AI tool” vs. a “SaaS tool” will continue to dissolve.
Point solutions that focus only on AI tools only address the tip of the iceberg when it comes to workforce AI use. Sorvek's layered discovery capabilities serve as the foundation for a complete AI security solution that helps organizations secure workforce AI usage from discovery through governance with automated guardrails that guide your workforce to use AI in safe, compliant ways.
