A chat in ChatGPT going on as usual: the message is typed and sent, and Colchix, running in the background, masks the IBAN in it before it leaves.
The problem
AI usage has outpaced AI governance
- 01
Everyone is using AI
Employees and AI agents use AI across work accounts, personal accounts and everyday applications.
75% of knowledge workers use AI at work, and 78% of AI users bring their own tools.Microsoft & LinkedIn, 2024 Work Trend Index
- 02
You can’t predict every interaction
Every prompt, upload and agent action can send different information to a different destination.
- 03
Manual governance can’t keep up
Manual inventories, static policies and scattered evidence struggle to keep pace with everyday AI usage.
- 04
What’s at stake?
Personal data, trade secrets, source code and the evidence needed to demonstrate compliance.
- 05
AI governance failures are costly
Data exposure can lead to regulatory penalties, lost competitive advantage and reputational damage.
Fines go up to €35M or 7% of global annual turnover under the EU AI Act, and €20M or 4% under the GDPR.EU AI Act, Art. 99 · GDPR, Art. 83

FAQs
Get answers to the most common questions about AI governance and Colchix.
What is Colchix?
Colchix is the AI Governance OS powered by agents that helps organizations move at AI-speed safely. ARGUS discovers AI usage and shadow AI, TALOS protects sensitive data at runtime, and ATHENA turns everyday activity into compliance and audit evidence. Together, they bring visibility, protection and auditability to AI usage across employees and AI agents within one platform.
Do teams need to switch AI tools to use Colchix?
No. Colchix works within the AI tools and LLMs your teams already use, without requiring them to move to a separate workspace. Once the local agent and browser extension are installed, employees continue working as usual. Its model-agnostic approach brings discovery, data protection and compliance into existing workflows, invisibly and with zero friction.
Can Colchix discover shadow AI as well as approved tools?
Yes. ARGUS discovers AI usage beyond your list of approved tools, including shadow AI and personal AI accounts used for work. It helps you understand which tools are being used across employees, AI agents and AI-enabled software, bringing observed activity into an AI inventory. That gives you a clearer picture of actual adoption than policies and questionnaires alone.
Explore ARGUSCan Colchix mask sensitive data without blocking AI usage?
Yes. TALOS detects, masks or tokenizes sensitive data before it reaches AI tools in the workflows it protects. Protection happens at runtime, when employees or AI agents interact with AI, and extends to both approved tools and shadow AI. This helps teams keep using AI while protecting confidential information, personal data and intellectual property.
Explore TALOSHow does Colchix help with AI compliance and audits?
ATHENA turns observed AI activity into structured audit trails and compliance evidence from day one. Instead of reconstructing everything when an audit begins, teams can use the activity collected by Colchix to support reviews, document controls and prepare evidence. ATHENA supports workflows around frameworks such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
Explore ATHENAIs Colchix only for European organizations?
No. Colchix starts from European requirements, with a global approach to AI governance. Its agents address challenges organizations face everywhere: understanding AI usage, protecting sensitive data and preparing audit evidence. Data privacy and sovereignty remain part of that approach, while the relevant governance requirements depend on where your organization operates and which frameworks apply to it.
