Egnyte AI Safeguards enable administrators to control and audit the flow of sensitive data to AI — for Egnyte’s AI Assistant, agents, and MCP Server. With safeguards activated, AI only surfaces information that complies with an organization’s established data access policies.
AI Safeguards applies restrictions to Egnyte’s AI Assistant, pre-built agents, configurable agents, and MCP Server. All AI surfaces are covered under a single policy. AI Safeguards also align with additional Egnyte data governance capabilities such as Sensitive Content Protection and Access Control.
AI Safeguards apply your configured data access restrictions to AI requests before responses are returned to users. If content violates a policy — for example, exposing financial projections or confidential HR data — that information is withheld from AI’s response.
Yes. AI Safeguards enforce policies consistently across desktop, web browser, and mobile environments — resulting in the same protection regardless of how your team accesses Egnyte’s AI.
Yes. AI Safeguards include comprehensive reporting, so administrators can review what data was accessed, what was restricted, and when — to fine-tune security reviews and improve compliance reporting.
Standard file permissions control who can open or edit a file. AI Safeguards go further — controlling what information AI can read, summarize, or cite from files, even when a user technically has access to them. It’s an additional governance layer that’s specifically designed for AI-based interactions.
AI Safeguards are available to Egnyte’s customers. Contact your Egnyte account team or request a demo (using the chat assistant on this page) to learn how you can configure safeguards for your organization.
