About This Resource

AI tools have become the #1 data exfiltration vector in 2025, with 77% of employees pasting sensitive data into GenAI tools and 32% of all data exfiltration now happening through AI channels.

This guide provides a practical framework for protecting your organization from AI data leakage, covering risk assessment, policy development, technical controls, and employee training. We draw on real-world incidents including the December 2025 Chrome extension breach that exposed AI chats of 900,000 users.

Whether you're developing an AI acceptable use policy, evaluating AI security tools, or building a comprehensive AI governance program, this guide provides the framework and templates you need.

Who built this

A small team of engineers and lawyers built this.

We ship from Europe and work in the open.

Our founder note spells out why we started.

Where to start

How the parts fit

A browser add-on cleans text inside Chrome.

A Word plug-in handles drafts in Office.

A small desktop tool works on whole folders.

An agent protocol link feeds large models safely.

All four share one core engine and one rule set.

Words from our team

We started this work after a lunch about cookies.

One friend kept getting odd ads on her phone.

We asked why a court file leaked through a draft.

We sketched the first build on a napkin that week.

By month three we had a tiny demo for a friend.

She used it on her first case the next day.

Common questions we hear

Can the tool read scanned PDFs? Yes, with OCR.

Does it work on long files? Yes, in small chunks.

Can I roll my own rule set? Yes, save it as a preset.

Does it run offline? The desktop build runs offline.

Do you keep my files? No, the cloud build wipes after each run.

Will it learn from my work? No, we never train on inputs.

A short tour of the workflow

Upload a file or paste a snippet of prose.

Pick the entities you want gone from the draft.

Choose a method: replace, mask, hash, encrypt, or redact.

Press run and watch the side panel show each hit.

Skim the result and tweak any rule that misfired.

Save the cleaned file or send it to a teammate.
