Most Firms Overestimate AI Governance As Privacy Risks Surge
Security Brief, Thursday, June 19th, 2025
Kiteworks has released its AI Data Security and Compliance Risk Survey, highlighting gaps between AI adoption and governance maturity in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and globally.
The survey, based on responses from 461 cybersecurity, IT, risk management, and compliance professionals, reveals that only 17% of organisations have implemented technical controls that block access to public AI tools alongside data loss prevention (DLP) scanning. Despite this, 26% of respondents state that over 30% of the data employees input into public AI tools is private, and 27% confirm this figure specifically for the APAC region.
