Cyberhaven traces where data comes from and where it goes, and applies that lineage to AI use, insider risk and DLP. AILeakShield is focused on AI governance and adds Microsoft 365 AI app governance, firewall enforcement, a NIST AI RMF assessment and staff policy acknowledgment.
What Cyberhaven is: Data lineage based data security platform combining DLP, insider risk, DSPM and AI security.
Yes means documented. Partial means limited, an add-on, a separate product or preview. Not documented means we could not find it in the vendor's public documentation; it does not mean the vendor has tested and failed it.

For AI governance and AI prompt protection, yes. Cyberhaven is broader for enterprise DLP and insider risk. AILeakShield is focused on AI discovery, control, prompt protection and compliance evidence.
No. It starts with a browser extension, log import and a read-only Microsoft 365 connection. IT providers can add RMM-based discovery without installing anything new.
Yes. They do not conflict.

AILeakShield discovers all the AI in your environment, blocks the AI tools you have not approved, and keeps sensitive data out of the prompts sent to the ones you have.
