AI & GenAI Security
GenAI Protection
Discovery, policy control and audit logging for generative AI use, so sensitive data stops leaving the organisation through prompt boxes nobody is monitoring.

The risk is straightforward. An employee pastes a customer list, a draft contract or a block of proprietary code into a public AI service to summarise or rewrite it. That data now sits with a third party, may be retained, may be used for model training, and is entirely outside your control. Nothing in a standard security stack sees this happen, because to the network it looks like ordinary web traffic to a legitimate site.
GenAI Protection makes that activity visible and then governable. It discovers which AI services are in use across the organisation, applies policy to what may be sent to them, and keeps an audit record of what was shared, by whom and when.
The goal is not to ban these tools. Blanket blocks reliably fail, because people simply switch to a personal device and you lose visibility entirely. The workable answer is sanctioned tools, clear boundaries on what may be pasted into them, and a record you can review.
What is included
- Discovery of generative AI services in use, including unsanctioned tools
- Content inspection of prompts for regulated and confidential data
- Policy enforcement by user, group, data type and destination service
- Blocking, redaction or warn-and-allow depending on sensitivity
- Full audit trail of AI interactions for compliance review
- Guardrails for internally hosted models and AI assistants
- User coaching at the moment of risk rather than after the fact
What you get out of it
- Shadow AI usage becomes visible instead of assumed
- Regulated data stops leaving through prompt boxes
- A defensible audit position for regulators and clients
- Staff keep the productivity benefit within safe boundaries
Why blocking alone does not work
The instinctive response to shadow AI is to block the domains at the firewall. It is quick, it is visible to management, and it moves the problem somewhere you can no longer see it. Staff who found genuine value in these tools continue to use them on personal phones and home machines, now with no logging and no policy at all.
The approach that holds up is to sanction a small number of tools with appropriate data-handling terms, apply inspection so that regulated data cannot be pasted into them, and coach users at the moment they attempt it. Productivity is preserved, and the organisation retains both visibility and a defensible record.
Where this fits
You handle regulated or client-confidential data
Legal, financial, healthcare and professional services organisations carry obligations that a pasted prompt can breach in seconds, with no record that it occurred.
You have an AI policy but no way to enforce it
A written policy without technical enforcement is an expression of hope. This supplies the visibility and control that makes the policy real.
A client is asking how you govern AI use
AI governance is appearing in supplier security questionnaires. Being able to answer concretely is becoming a commercial requirement.
Frequently asked questions
- Can you see what staff actually typed into a chatbot?
- The system inspects prompt content against your policy in order to enforce it, and logs policy-relevant events. How much is retained and who may review it is configurable, and we recommend setting that deliberately with your HR and legal stakeholders rather than accepting a default.
- Does this work on personal devices?
- On managed devices, yes. Unmanaged personal devices remain outside technical control, which is exactly why the sanctioned-tools approach matters more than blocking.
- Will this slow the tools down for users?
- Inspection adds minimal latency. Most users notice nothing beyond an occasional warning when they are about to paste something they should not.
