SHIELD AI

SHIELD AI is a sovereign cybersecurity and AI governance platform designed to help organisations adopt Generative AI safely, securely and compliantly. The solution addresses one of the fastest-growing enterprise risks: employees unintentionally exposing confidential, personal, regulated or strategic data through AI prompts, document uploads, emails, code or business content. SHIELD AI provides two complementary capabilities: Audit Mode, which identifies Shadow AI usage and quantifies data leakage risks, and Protection Mode, which enforces real-time controls by masking, anonymising, blocking or logging sensitive information before it leaves the organisation. The platform supports compliance with GDPR, NIS2, the EU AI Act and ISO 27001, while enabling companies to benefit from AI innovation without losing control over their data.

SHIELD AI acts as a real-time security layer between users and Generative AI tools. It analyses prompts, documents and data flows before they are submitted to AI platforms, detects sensitive information across multiple risk categories, and applies the appropriate security action based on company policy: masking, anonymisation, pseudonymisation, blocking, logging or reporting.

The solution can be deployed through browser protection, proxy monitoring, SaaS, private cloud, on-premise architecture or a compliance API Gateway. It gives CISOs, DPOs and compliance teams visibility over AI usage, Shadow AI activity, sensitive data exposure and user behaviour, while enabling employees to use AI productively and safely.

SHIELD AI is innovative because it is designed specifically for the new security risks created by Generative AI, where data leakage can happen through natural language prompts, uploaded files, code snippets or business context — areas where traditional DLP tools are often insufficient.

The platform combines real-time semantic detection, policy enforcement, anonymisation, compliance reporting and user awareness in one integrated governance layer. Unlike solutions that only monitor APIs or block access to AI tools, SHIELD AI enables secure adoption by protecting data before exposure, while maintaining usability for employees. Its hybrid model — Audit Mode, Protection Mode and API Gateway — allows organisations to move from visibility to control and then to scalable secure AI integration.

SHIELD AI significantly increases organisational resilience by reducing the risk of confidential, personal, regulated or strategic data being leaked to external AI providers. It protects against accidental disclosure, Shadow AI usage, uncontrolled prompt sharing, sensitive document uploads and unmanaged AI adoption.

The solution is protective because it intervenes before the data leaves the organisation. Instead of detecting leakage after the fact, SHIELD AI can prevent exposure in real time through masking, anonymisation, blocking and policy-based enforcement. It also strengthens governance by giving security teams auditable evidence, risk classification, compliance mapping and executive dashboards aligned with GDPR, NIS2, the EU AI Act and ISO 27001.

SHIELD AI is effective because it combines technical protection with measurable visibility. Organisations can identify which AI tools are being used, what types of data are exposed, which users or departments create the highest risk, and which controls need to be applied. This allows companies to move from assumptions to evidence-based AI governance.

The platform also improves awareness at user level. Instead of silently blocking innovation, SHIELD AI helps employees understand why specific content is risky and how to use AI safely. This creates a positive security culture where users are guided, trained and protected in real time, while CISOs and DPOs receive the reporting needed to demonstrate compliance, reduce risk and support responsible AI adoption.
