FAQs

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.

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.
