What is data loss prevention for AI?

Data loss prevention (DLP) is a security practice that detects and blocks sensitive data — like PII, credentials, and confidential information — from being sent to AI models. It is the critical safety net between your team and third-party AI services.

DLP Capabilities

How DLP for AI works

Every feature designed to help your team work smarter with AI.

01

Real-time scanning

Every prompt is scanned for sensitive data patterns before it leaves the browser and reaches any AI model.

02

Pattern detection

Detect SSNs, credit card numbers, API keys, email addresses, phone numbers, and custom patterns specific to your organization.

03

Block or warn

Configure DLP to block prompts containing sensitive data entirely, or warn users and let them decide whether to proceed.

04

Custom rules

Define organization-specific patterns and keywords to catch industry-specific sensitive data like patient IDs or account numbers.

05

Incident reporting

Track every DLP detection with details on what was caught, when, and by whom for security auditing and compliance.

06

Policy enforcement

Apply DLP rules consistently across every team member and every AI tool without relying on individual vigilance.
