## Protecting Sensitive Data with a Secure AI CTRL Platform

 ![Two colleagues looking at a tablet together]()

A luxury real estate developer faced a surge in employee use of unauthorized, shadow AI without visibility or control. This created significant reputational risk given the organization’s celebrity and high-net-worth clientele. Leadership felt mounting pressure to define a clear, scalable, and secure AI strategy. However, they lacked the foundation to identify or govern how AI was being used across the business. They looked to Expedient to implement a centralized AI platform, creating a single point of engagement with full visibility, established governance, and set a clear, scalable AI strategy to help the organization confidently move forward.
