uControlThe fastest-growing part of most estates is the part nobody's tracking.
SaaS and shadow IT spread outside central control, and AI is now expected to help teams reason over operational data. Both need visibility and governance to be assets rather than risks.
uControl Insights surfaces SaaS and shadow IT and adds a private, in-platform AI layer over your live estate, and uControl Core reports and governs the risk.
Executive summary
AI & SaaS Estate Intelligence gives you visibility and reasoning over the modern estate. Insights surfaces SaaS and shadow IT, scores risk and ships an AI assistant that answers questions over live data; Core reports and governs.
You bring the sprawl into view, ask questions in plain English, and keep it all private and controlled.
The business challenge
The modern estate outruns traditional tooling:
- SaaS and shadow IT spread outside central control
- No single view of what's in use
- Operational questions need an expert to answer
- Anomalies and risk go unnoticed
- AI is expected — but must stay private and governed
So the fastest-growing part of the estate is the least managed.
The uControl approach
uControl surfaces and reasons. Insights detects SaaS and shadow IT, scores asset risk and flags network anomalies, and ships a private, in-platform AI assistant that reasons over live inventory, topology and flow; Core reports and governs the picture.
How it works
SaaS & shadow-IT discovery Insights
Insights surfaces SaaS usage and shadow-IP that traditional inventories miss.
AI assistant over live data Insights
Ask uControl in plain English — answered from live inventory, topology and flow, with no query language.
Risk scoring & anomalies Insights
Rank assets by exposure and criticality, and flag network conversations a device has never had before.
Private & governed Insights Core
Off by default, bring-your-own-model (incl. self-hosted), row-capped and credential-excluded; Core governs the reporting.
Reporting & digest Core
Report the estate and post a daily AI-written digest to Microsoft Teams.

Illustrative scenario
SaaS and shadow IT had grown well beyond what central IT could see, and leadership wanted AI-assisted insight without sending data out.
uControl Insights surfaced the SaaS and shadow-IP, scored risk and let the team ask questions of the live estate in plain English with a self-hosted model — while Core reported the picture and a daily digest, keeping everything private and governed.
Frequently asked questions
Does the AI send our data out?
No — it's off by default and, when enabled, is a tool-calling assistant over read-only methods; it never sees SQL or your schema, and can run fully self-hosted for air-gapped estates.
How does it find shadow IT?
Insights surfaces SaaS usage and shadow-IP hosts that are live in traffic but never scanned — the blind spots inventory-only tools miss.
What can I ask it?
Anything about your inventory and topology — for example 'Windows servers in London not seen in a month' — answered from live data, no query language.
