# Monitor AI System Violations

The Violations section in Sprinto helps organisations monitor AI-related policy breaches, sensitive data exposure risks, and governance concerns across AI systems.

Violations monitoring helps organisations:

* Detect AI-related policy violations
* Review sensitive data exposure
* Identify risky AI usage patterns
* Monitor organisational AI activity
* Investigate user activity
* Maintain governance oversight

Sprinto centralises AI-related governance signals within the Violations tab.

***

## Navigate to Violations

To access AI system violations:

1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.
2. Navigate to **Data Library**.
3. Select **AI Systems**.
4. Open the **Violations** tab.

The Violations tab displays AI-related governance and compliance violations detected across AI systems.

***

## Violations Inventory

The Violations table provides visibility into detected governance issues.

The inventory may include:

* Rules violated
* Violated by
* AI system
* Violated on
* Severity

This helps organisations centrally review governance and compliance concerns.

***

## Review Violated Rules

Sprinto surfaces the specific governance or compliance rule associated with each violation.

Examples may include:

* Detect PII in user input and output
* Detect PHI in user input and output
* Detect legal or contractual information in user input and output

These detections help organisations identify unsafe or non-compliant AI usage.

***

## Review Associated Users

Each violation is mapped to the associated user activity.

The Violated by column helps organisations:

* Identify users involved in the activity
* Investigate governance concerns
* Review risky usage patterns
* Track repeated policy violations

This improves accountability and governance visibility.

***

## Review Associated AI Systems

Violations are also mapped to the related AI systems.

This helps organisations:

* Identify risky AI systems
* Review governance posture
* Prioritise governance reviews
* Assess AI-related operational risks

The AI system association helps connect violations with governance workflows such as:

* Risk assessments
* Due diligence reviews
* Findings and remediation
* Governance monitoring

***

## Severity Levels

Sprinto classifies violations using severity levels.

Depending on your configuration, severity levels may include:

* Low
* Medium
* High
* Critical

Severity classifications help organisations prioritise investigations and remediation activities.

***

## Search and Filter Violations

The Violations tab supports filtering and search workflows.

You can:

* Search for violations
* Filter by AI systems
* Review violation history
* Monitor governance trends

This helps organisations efficiently investigate governance concerns.

***

## Relationship Between Violations and Shadow AI

Violations may also be surfaced during Shadow AI discovery workflows.

This helps organisations:

* Identify unmanaged AI systems
* Detect risky AI usage patterns
* Investigate unsanctioned AI activity
* Bring discovered systems into governance workflows

Violations monitoring and Shadow AI governance work together to improve organisational oversight.

***

## Governance Investigations

Organisations can use the Violations workflow to investigate:

* Sensitive data exposure
* Risky AI prompts
* Unapproved AI usage
* Compliance gaps
* Unsafe operational behaviour

Violation investigations can additionally lead to:

* Findings creation
* Remediation tasks
* Risk reassessments
* Governance reviews

***

## Governance Monitoring Workflows

The Violations section supports continuous AI governance monitoring.

Sprinto helps organisations:

* Review organisational AI activity
* Detect governance gaps
* Monitor policy compliance
* Track high-risk AI activity
* Maintain governance visibility across teams

This helps organisations strengthen AI governance posture over time.

***

## AI Governance Best Practices

When reviewing AI system violations:

* Investigate high-severity violations promptly
* Review repeated user violations carefully
* Reassess risky AI systems periodically
* Review sensitive data exposure patterns
* Bring unmanaged AI systems into governance workflows
* Document remediation activities where required
* Maintain audit-ready governance records
