AI tools: Automation

System-to-system integration with AI in the middle. The risk comes from reach: an automation wired to email, CRM and cloud storage moves corporate data between services with no review step.

Critical exposure:

Direct harm is possible: identity fraud, biometric data, or autonomous action without oversight.

High exposure:

Naturally receives sensitive corporate data: source code, contracts, customer records.

Moderate exposure:

Risk depends on what goes in. Requires an explicit classification in your policy.

Low exposure:

Narrow scope and clear vendor governance. A candidate for the allowed list.
