i feel like a lot of what's marketed as "AI governance" software is really just policy documentation and training tracking... fine for compliance checkboxes, not much help for actual risk reduction. It's easy to buy something that looks good in an audit but doesn't change employee behavior day to day.

so Looking for tools that go further... real usage monitoring, model inventory that stays current, risk scoring tied to actual behavior rather than self-reported surveys.

Has anyone found something that closes the gap between governance-as-paperwork and governance-as-actual-control? I'd rather hear about a mediocre tool that's actually deployed than a great one still stuck in a pilot.

What's out there beyond the usual vendor pitches, and has anyone tried building something in-house instead of buying?

we're fully on entra for anything modern, but there's a long tail of apps that were never onboarded.

internal tools built a decade ago. legacy systems from an acquisition that never got folded in properly. some SaaS finance signed up for directly with a company card. one on-prem app that predates half the current team.

entra has zero visibility into any of it and neither does our SOC. someone leaves and their entra account gets deprovisioned in seconds, while their login to the old ticketing system from 2016 just sits there active.

how are people closing this gap without turning it into a multi-year migration project to force everything into entra?
