The problem
Your employees have already deployed AI.
You just can't see it.
Every browser tab is a new outbound channel. Every paste is a potential disclosure. The security perimeter you spent a decade building doesn't extend to a chat window.
73%
of enterprise employees use AI tools not sanctioned by IT
1 in 5
employees have pasted confidential data into a public model
0
audit-grade records most orgs have of what was sent to whom
Three failure modes
Data leakage. Model sprawl. No audit trail.
Data leakage
Contracts, customer data, and source code pasted into consumer AI. Once it lands in a training set, you can't recall it.
Model sprawl
Every team picks its own model. Every provider has its own retention policy. Legal is asked to sign off on 40 shadow contracts.
No audit trail
When regulators ask 'what did your people send to which model?' the honest answer is: we don't know.
Before / after
The same employee. Very different outcomes.
Without Shield
Employee → ChatGPT
- · Full customer record pasted into a public browser tab
- · Provider retains prompt on their infrastructure
- · No log, no attribution, no policy applied
- · Governance discovers it in a breach postmortem
With Shield
Employee → Shield → ChatGPT
- · Paste sentinel intercepts sensitive fields at the surface
- · Prompt is grounded and routed under ZDR
- · Every request logged with user, model, and policy
- · Governance sees it in the weekly digest — not the news
