Stop sensitive data from leaking into ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools.

AILeakShield gives your team one secure place to use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI tools, with AI prompt DLP that can warn, mask, or block sensitive data before it reaches the model.

We help you discover AI already in use and apply DLP policies for those you knew about and those you did not know about.

 

Watch a 5-Minute AI Data Loss Prevention Demo to see how AILeakShield helps prevent sensitive data from reaching AI prompts and discover which AI tools are being used across your organization.

Your team is already using AI. The question is whether it is protected.

Employees use AI because it helps them move faster. They summarize pasted text, rewrite emails, review pasted business information, draft policies, debug code, and brainstorm customer responses.

But when prompts include customer records, employee information, source code, credentials, contracts, protected healthcare information, financial data, or internal strategy, sensitive data can leave the business before security teams ever see the risk.

AILeakShield gives your organization a safer path: one approved AI workspace where employees can use AI with protection built into the prompt workflow. One solution to discover AI in-use and one solution to protect AI solutions already being used by your employees.

Sensitive data in prompts

Customer records, PII, payment data, employee details, contracts, credentials, source code, and internal strategy can all end up inside AI prompts.

Shadow AI blind spots

Teams often use personal AI accounts, browser tabs, and unapproved tools when the company does not provide a secure alternative.

Compliance pressure

Security, legal, privacy, and compliance leaders need a defensible way to govern AI usage.

AI adoption friction

Blanket bans slow down the business and push AI usage underground. Secure enablement gives employees a better option.

Secure every AI prompt before it leaves.

Employee writes a prompt

Your team uses AI the way they already work: drafting, summarizing, analyzing, researching, and creating.

AILeakShield inspects the prompt

AILeakShield checks for PII, PHI, PCI, credentials, secrets, customer records, source code, financial information, and custom business terms

Discover AI tools used with visibility only mode

Detect all AI tools in use at your organization. Automatically rank them by risk. Approve or block ones in use immediately. Or place our strict DLP policies around AI solutions you manage or don't manage.

Policy is applied instantly

AILeakShield can allow, warn, mask, require confirmation, or block the prompt based on your rules. Both in the AILeakShield secure workspace, and any AI solution used in the employee's browser (authorized or unauthorized)

Approved prompts reach the model

Safe prompts are routed to the selected AI model, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Llama, or enterprise-approved providers.

Security teams get visibility

Usage, policy decisions, blocked prompts, and risk trends are available for review without turning AI adoption into a surveillance program.

How AILeakShield is different from traditional AI DLP rollouts

Many AI DLP and enterprise security platforms are powerful, but they often require broader security architecture, browser controls, endpoint coverage, proxy routing, or long-term policy tuning. AILeakShield is built to give employees secure AI access now.

How AILeakShield is different

AILeakShield is built for secure AI access, not another long enterprise DLP rollout. Employees log in, choose their approved AI model, and work in a protected workspace with AI prompt DLP, Microsoft SSO, embedded AI model costs up to usage caps, daily prompt text deletion, and enterprise custom data filters.

AI prompt DLP built for secure ChatGPT and multi-model AI access.

AI prompt DLP

Detect and protect sensitive content before it is sent to an AI model. AILeakShield helps stop customer data, employee data, source code, secrets, credentials, payment data, and regulated information from leaving your business through everyday AI prompts. Including our secure AI workspace and any shadow AI used in your environment.

Secure multi-model access

Give your team one approved place to access leading AI models. Support GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Llama, and future providers as your AI strategy evolves.

Policy-based warnings & blocking

Warn employees, mask sensitive data, require confirmation, block restricted content, or route specific use cases to approved models.

Microsoft SSO

Give employees secure access with Microsoft single sign-on included in every plan.

Embedded AI model costs

AI model costs are embedded in each plan up to the included usage cap, so customers can enable secure AI access without managing separate model invoices for standard usage.

Discover AI currently in use by employees

Create an inventory of all AI in use at your organization and automatically rank the AI solutions by risk.

Enterprise custom data filters

Create company-specific filters for sensitive terms, customer identifiers, regulated data, internal project names, or confidential business language.

How it works

Find every AI in use. Protect what matters. Then give people somewhere safe to work.

Five stages, in the order you will actually live them — starting with two weeks where nothing is blocked at all.

Start by watching. Block nothing.

AILeakShield installs by policy and runs in monitor mode. For the first two weeks it blocks nothing and changes nobody’s workflow — it simply records what is already happening. Then you sit down with real numbers and decide what to enforce. One switch, and it is yours to flip.

  1. Discover

    Every AI service in use, ranked by risk

    Around fifty services across twenty categories — assistants, coding assistants, image and video generators, voice tools, translation, writing aids, model APIs and inference hosts. Not a list of names, but a risk register: which ones train on whatever your staff paste into them, where each processes data, and whether a business tier even exists to move to.

    Browser activity is picked up continuously. Desktop and command-line tools that never open a tab — coding agents, local assistants, direct API calls — are covered by importing a DNS or proxy log.

  2. Protect

    AI data loss prevention, in the browser

    Plenty of tools will tell you an AI tool was used. That is an alert after the data has gone — an incident you now have to investigate. AILeakShield inspects the prompt and stops sensitive content before it reaches the model, so there is nothing to investigate, because nothing left.

  3. Empower

    A secure AI workspace your team will actually use

    A ban relocates risk; it does not reduce it. Give people a sanctioned place to work with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral and Llama — a choice of frontier models under one policy, with a full audit trail, where prompts are never used to train anyone’s model.

  4. Comply

    Your obligations, applied to every approved tool

    HIPAA, PCI, GDPR and your own rules about what may leave the building — configured once and enforced everywhere AI is allowed, including the secure workspace.

  5. Govern

    The record you hand an auditor

    Every decision, every override, and the reason the person gave for it. Reporting that answers “what is our AI exposure” with evidence rather than an opinion.

Discovery covers the full catalogue of AI services. Enforcement covers the assistants your staff are most likely to reach for — ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity — with everything else discovered and reported so you can decide what to do about it.

Common questions about shadow AI, AI data loss prevention and compliance

What security, IT and compliance teams ask before they roll this out.

The problem

What is shadow AI?

Shadow AI is any AI tool your staff use without IT approval — a personal assistant account, a coding agent, an image or voice generator, a browser extension, a direct call to a model API. It is rarely malicious. People reach for whatever helps them finish the work, and most organisations find services running across a dozen or more categories that nobody signed off.

How do I find out which AI tools my employees are already using?

Deploy the browser extension by policy and watch for two weeks. It records every AI service reached, without blocking anything, and ranks what it finds by risk rather than by popularity. For tools that never open a browser, import a DNS or proxy log and those appear in the same inventory.

Can I just block AI tools with a firewall?

You can block the domain, and staff will use a personal device or a tool you have not heard of yet. A firewall decides whether a site is reachable; it cannot see what someone typed, so it cannot tell an approved research question from a customer list pasted into a chat box. Blocking without a sanctioned alternative moves the activity somewhere you have no visibility at all.

How is this different from the DLP we already have?

Traditional DLP watches files, email and endpoints. An AI prompt is none of those — it is an HTTPS request to a domain most policies already permit, so the content is invisible to tools that inspect at the network or file layer. AILeakShield inspects the prompt itself, in the browser, before it is sent.

Compliance

What compliance requirements does AILeakShield support?

It provides the control and the evidence that regulated organisations need when staff use AI: preventing regulated data from reaching a third-party model, and producing a record of what was detected and decided. That maps onto the obligations in:

  • HIPAA — protected health information
  • PCI DSS — cardholder and payment data
  • GDPR and UK GDPR — personal data, including transfers outside your region
  • GLBA — customer financial information
  • CCPA / CPRA and other US state privacy laws
  • SOC 2 — confidentiality and privacy criteria
  • ISO 27001 / 27701 — information security and privacy controls
  • CMMC, ITAR and export control — controlled and classified material
  • FERPA — student records
  • NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act — AI inventory and governance duties

Ready-made policy presets ship for HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, GLBA and defense, so a regulated organisation is not starting from a blank form.

Does AILeakShield make us HIPAA or PCI compliant?

No, and be wary of any vendor that says otherwise. Compliance is a property of your organisation, not of a tool. What AILeakShield does is implement a specific control — regulated data does not reach an unapproved AI service — and produce the evidence that the control was operating. Auditors ask for both. This is one component of a larger program to be PCI or HIPAA compliant. We offer additional services through cybersecurityservices.com our consulting practice.

What sensitive data can it detect, and can we control each type?

Six categories, each set independently to block, warn or allow:

  • PII — names, addresses, government identifiers, dates of birth, contact details
  • PHI — diagnoses, treatment and other protected health information
  • Financial — card numbers, account and routing details
  • Credentials — passwords, API keys, tokens, connection strings
  • Classified — controlled and marked material
  • Network — internal hostnames, addresses and infrastructure detail

So a hospital can block PHI outright while only warning on financial data, and a payments business can do the reverse. The same settings apply in the browser and in the secure workspace, so there is one policy rather than two.

Can we add our own sensitive terms?

Yes. Project codenames, client names, unreleased product names, internal system names — anything that is confidential to you but looks unremarkable to a generic detector. These are treated as your own category and never leave your tenant.

Does this help with SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

It gives you an implemented control and an audit trail for it, which is what those frameworks ask for. AI use is increasingly raised under confidentiality criteria and third-party risk, and “we have a policy” is a weaker answer than a record of what was detected, what was blocked, and who overrode what and why.

What about the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework?

Both start from the same place: knowing which AI systems are in use. The risk-ranked inventory is that starting point, and the policy and audit records support the governance duties that follow. NIST AI RMF is voluntary and has no certification, so treat any “AI RMF certified” claim — from us or anyone else — with suspicion. We say aligned with, not compliant.

How it works

How do I stop employees pasting sensitive data into ChatGPT?

Detection alone will not: an alert arrives after the data has already reached the model. AILeakShield inspects the prompt in the browser and blocks, masks or warns before it is sent, according to the policy you set for each category of data. The same policy applies across the assistants your staff use, not one of them.

Will AILeakShield block AI for my whole company?

Not unless you choose to. It starts in monitor mode, where nothing is blocked and nothing changes for staff. You decide what to enforce after seeing your own numbers — and giving people a sanctioned workspace usually works better than a ban, which simply moves the activity somewhere you cannot see it.

What about AI tools that never open a browser?

Coding agents, desktop assistants and anything calling a model API directly are outside what a browser extension can see. Import a DNS or proxy log and they join the same risk-ranked inventory, so the picture covers the estate rather than just the tabs.

What happens when someone tries to send something sensitive?

It depends on the category and the rule you set. Blocked content does not leave the browser. A warning explains what was detected and why, and if the person proceeds anyway they are asked for a reason, which is recorded — so a judgement call becomes evidence rather than an argument later.

Rollout

Do employees have to install anything?

No. The browser extension is deployed by policy through Intune, Group Policy or your MDM. Nobody installs, signs in or configures anything, and browsers begin reporting within a minute of the policy applying.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome, Edge, and Firefox are verified end to end for managed deployment. Safari is available on request — talk to us about either before you plan a rollout around them.

Does it work for remote and hybrid staff?

Yes. Protection travels with the browser rather than the network, so there is no VPN to route through and no difference between someone in the office and someone at home.

Trust and evidence

Can AILeakShield see our prompts?

Prompt text is not retained. Inspection happens in the moment, and stored records keep the decision and the category rather than the content — a product that leaks the data it was bought to protect would defeat its own purpose.

Are our prompts used to train AI models?

No. Work done in the secure workspace is not used to train models. That is a large part of why a sanctioned destination reduces risk while a personal account on a consumer tier increases it — several of the services your staff reach for do train on what is pasted into them by default.

What does this give an auditor?

A record of what was detected, which policy applied, what was decided, and the reason given whenever somebody overrode a warning. That answers “how do you govern AI use” with evidence rather than an intention, which is the form the question usually takes.

Give your workforce secure AI access before shadow AI becomes a bigger risk.

AILeakShield helps your team use the AI tools they already want with prompt protection, Microsoft SSO, usage controls, daily prompt text deletion, and enterprise-ready security controls.
