AI breaches in 2025 weren't random. They had patterns.
The 2025 IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report studied 600 organizations globally. Across the incidents involving AI systems, eight failure modes showed up again and again — patterns so consistent they can be used as a readiness framework. This diagnostic scores your program against all eight.
AI access controls
97% of AI-breach victims in 2025 lacked proper access controls for their AI systems.
Governance policy maturity
63% of organizations had no AI governance policy, or one still in draft.
Shadow AI exposure
$670K higher breach cost when shadow AI was involved, with 10 additional days of dwell time.
AI supply-chain exposure
60% of AI supply-chain breaches led to data compromise; 31% caused operational disruption.
Sensitive data flowing to AI
53% of AI-related breaches exposed customer PII. Shadow AI incidents were worst for IP and PII loss.
AI agent identity & credentials
Agents with unaudited credentials are among the fastest-growing AI attack surfaces flagged in the 2025 research.
Incident response readiness
Tested IR plans saved an average of $248K per breach — but most orgs don't have one for AI-specific incidents.
High-stakes AI decisions
EU AI Act Annex III enforcement begins 2 August 2026. NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 define parallel obligations.

In 4 minutes, a clear picture of where your AI program is exposed.
No email required to see your results. What you walk away with:
A 0–100 posture score, bucketed four ways
Resilient · Hardening · At Risk · Exposed. A quick way to align the room on where you actually are, not where you hope you are.
Your top 3 gaps, each with IBM 2025 research
Not generic advice. The specific failure modes most likely to be tested in your environment first, with the data behind each.
A recommended first engagement, matched to your gaps
Inventory baseline, shadow-AI readiness, detection engineering, model validation, or regulatory prep — the one that fits your specific posture.
How exposed is your AI stack, really?
Eight questions, about four minutes. You'll get a risk posture, your three highest-priority gaps with industry evidence, and a recommended next step — no email required to see your results.
What this assessment measures
Each question targets a failure mode that correlated with actual AI breaches in the IBM 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report — AI access controls, governance maturity, shadow AI visibility, supply-chain exposure, data sensitivity, agent identity hygiene, incident readiness, and regulated decision-making. The scoring is backed by industry data, not intuition.
