Reduce the Risk of Sensitive Data Reaching AI

Understand where employees and AI systems interact with sensitive information, then apply controls based on risk, context, and policy.

AI adoption creates new paths for sensitive business data to leave approved systems and enter tools security teams may not fully control.

Employees can paste confidential information into AI applications, connect AI tools to SaaS platforms, or use personal accounts outside normal governance processes.

At the same time, AI agents and integrations can access sensitive data automatically through connected applications and permissions.

Without visibility into AI usage and access, security teams may not know where sensitive data is exposed or which users, tools, and agents create the greatest risk. This makes prevention difficult without resorting to broad restrictions that limit productive AI use.

What Security Teams Need

Security teams need visibility into which AI applications, accounts, agents, and integrations are interacting with sensitive enterprise data.

They also need context around identities, permissions, usage, and business purpose so controls can be applied based on actual risk rather than blocking AI broadly.

How Grip Helps

Identify Risky AI Usage

Grip discovers AI applications, accounts, agents, and activity so security teams can identify where sensitive data exposure may occur.

Connect AI to Data Access and Identity

Grip maps AI usage to users, identities, SaaS permissions, integrations, and connected applications to show how sensitive information may be reached.

Apply Risk-Based Governance
Grip gives security teams the context to approve, restrict, investigate, or remediate AI use based on data exposure, access, and organizational policy.

Take the next step in securing your AI + SaaS environment.​

Understand where AI can access or receive sensitive business data across your organization. Grip helps security teams reduce exposure while allowing employees to continue using approved AI safely.

How can sensitive data be exposed to AI?

Sensitive data can reach AI when employees enter information directly into AI tools, upload files, connect SaaS applications, or authorize integrations. AI agents may also access data through the permissions and systems connected to them. These exposure paths can exist even when the underlying AI application is approved.

Why are personal AI accounts a data security risk?

Personal accounts can allow employees to use enterprise data outside centrally managed identities and policies. Security teams may have limited visibility into how those accounts are used, what data is submitted, or whether information is retained. Identifying personal AI usage helps organizations apply appropriate governance before sensitive information is exposed.

Can existing DLP tools prevent all AI data exposure?

Traditional DLP can help protect sensitive information, but AI introduces additional context around identities, applications, agents, permissions, and integrations. Data may also be accessed indirectly through connected SaaS systems rather than manually entered by a user. AI security therefore benefits from combining data controls with broader visibility into how AI is being used and what it can access.

What should security teams evaluate before approving an AI application?

Teams should consider the type of data the application may receive, who is using it, which identities and accounts are involved, and what applications or integrations it can access. They should also review permissions, business purpose, and organizational policy. This context helps determine whether the AI service presents an acceptable level of risk.

How does Grip help prevent sensitive data exposure to AI?

Grip provides visibility into AI applications, personal and corporate accounts, agents, identities, integrations, and permissions across the enterprise. This context helps security teams identify where sensitive data may be exposed and which usage patterns require attention. Teams can then govern AI use based on actual risk and take action where exposure exceeds policy.
