Governing Vibe Coding in the Enterprise: From Shadow IT to Sanctioned Path

Vibe coding is already happening inside your organisation. Business users in finance, operations, HR, and marketing are building working software in hours using AI tools. In most cases this is happening without IT's knowledge, on platforms IT has never approved, with data living outside your perimeter.

This is not a future risk to monitor. It is a present exposure to manage.

Independent scans of publicly accessible vibe-coded applications found that 1 in 10 had databases readable by anyone on the internet.

Most available guidance on AI-generated code is written for developers or for security researchers. This paper is written for the person who has to make the governance decision and who needs a framework, not a warning.

What You'll Find in This White Paper

  • How to tell the difference between real enterprise governance and security
  • A seven-parameter framework for evaluating any vibe coding platform
  • A side-by-side comparison of eight popular AI platforms
  • The operating model that makes a sanctioned path easier than going rogue
  • A due-diligence checklist you can use with any vendor, including new entrants
