Sensitive data is classified and protected at ingestion; access is controlled at retrieval; and every interaction is logged for auditing across RAG pipelines, copilots, fine-tuning, and agentic workflows.

Switch users and watch AI Guard enforce your policy in real time. Same knowledge base, different results based on who's asking.
Every RAG pipeline, copilot, and fine-tuning job is a direct line into your sensitive data estate. Most organizations either block AI access entirely or let it ingest everything unfiltered. Both are a problem.
Documents flow into AI pipelines unfiltered. PII, PHI, privileged communications, deal terms, and trade secrets are embedded into vector databases in clear text.
Policy sets what gets protected and how: encryption or tokenization. Embeddings are obfuscated and stay searchable. Your AI works with more of your data, but agents see only what their identity and role permit.
Connect your sources, classify sensitive spans, apply selective protection, and enforce least-privilege access at query time, in one unified pipeline.
Point AI Guard at your vector database: Amazon S3Vector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, Qdrant, LanceDB, or CosmosDB. Integrates with standard AI pipeline interfaces.
Scans and identifies sensitive information, including PII, PHI, IP, and regulated data, with confidence scoring.
Protection at the granularity each field needs: word, page, or document. Embeddings obfuscated, semantics preserved.
Authorized identities get the real value back inline, decrypted or detokenized by policy. Everyone else sees the surrounding context only.
Not another classification tool. Not a perimeter control. Protection that sits at the document level and travels with the data wherever AI takes it.
RAG, fine-tuning, inference, and agentic ops under one framework, not three tools. Protection runs from source through embeddings through agent responses.
Vector matching and model performance are preserved even when embeddings are obfuscated. Field-level across every AI workflow, not a security-versus-usability tradeoff.
Agents are treated as non-human identities with explicitly scoped, auditable access. Attribute-based access control at the content level, not just role-based access control.
Encryption follows the file into unauthorized AI tools, misrouted pipelines, or breached vector databases. Portable and cloud-agnostic.
Protect at scale while preserving search accuracy and AI usability. Standard interfaces drop into existing pipelines without re-architecture, across multi-cloud and hybrid.
Future-proof cryptography built in across clouds, storage, and AI pipelines. No re-encrypting the estate later.
Four situations where no protection means a breach, a compliance failure, or a deployment that never gets approved.
By the time legal hears about it, the model has embedded three years of sensitive documents into a vector DB in clear text. Now any user querying your company's AI tool could be fed this information, regardless of clearance level.
Every sensitive element is classified before ingestion and embeddings are obfuscated. Analyst queries return context, not PHI or privileged content. Compliance evidence is generated automatically.
Training data with PHI gets baked into model weights. Targeted prompts can extract it. Regulators don’t care that the exposure was unintentional.
The dataset is sanitized before the job runs, tokenizing and masking sensitive fields while preserving the clinical structure the model learns from. Raw values never enter the pipeline.
Exactly what happened to Microsoft 365 Copilot (CVE-2025-32711, June 2025). Perimeter controls saw nothing, because the activity moved through approved channels. Preventing prompt injection is one focus. Limiting the damage that a successful prompt injection can wreak is another.
Sensitive spans are encrypted at the content layer, decryptable only by authorized identity. The injection still triggers retrieval — but the copilot surfaces ciphertext, not readable data. Protection travels with the content.
A contract, financial model, or client record gets dropped into an unapproved AI tool. That tool may train on it, and your client's private information becomes part of globally accessible model outputs.
Content-layer protection travels with the sensitive information. External tools can process the non-sensitive context around protected fields, so contracts, financial models, and client records can still be used in AI queries and workflows without risking sensitive data becoming a statistic.
DSPMs classify. Vector-DB vendors protect embeddings. The only unified and preemptive solution.
No — because AI Guard uses semantic-preserving encryption. Sensitive spans are encrypted at the field level, but the surrounding context stays accessible to the model. Vector similarity is preserved in obfuscated embeddings, so retrieval accuracy is unaffected. The model sees what it needs to be useful; it just can’t read the sensitive fields.
DSPMs classify and report — they tell you what sensitive data exists and where. They don’t protect it or enforce access in AI workflows. AI Guard is the enforcement layer: it takes the classification signal, applies cryptographic protection before data enters the pipeline, and enforces per-agent policy at retrieval. Discover or your existing DSPM can both feed it.
Yes. AI Guard treats agents as non-human identities with explicitly scoped access. Per-agent policies enforce least privilege at the span level — agents retrieve only what their identity and role permit, with every interaction logged. This works across RAG pipelines, fine-tuning jobs, and agentic inference.
AI Guard can retroactively protect existing vector stores by re-indexing with obfuscated embeddings. For new ingestion, protection is applied before documents enter the pipeline. We recommend the free AI risk assessment first — it surfaces exactly what sensitive data is currently sitting exposed in your knowledge bases.
You do. Confidencial never sees plaintext. Keys are managed in your environment — bring your own KMS or use AI Guard’s built-in key server. Access is identity-bound through your existing IdP, so revoking an agent’s or user’s access is a policy change, not a re-encryption job.
Every event — ingestion, classification, encryption, access, query, and response — is logged at the span level with tamper-proof audit trails aligned to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF. Auditors get intra- and inter-component tracing that legacy DLP and RBAC tools can’t produce. Compliance evidence builds itself as the system runs.
AI Guard enforces what each user and agent can retrieve at the data layer, before the model sees it.
