Download Now – Securing Claude for Your Enterprise: A Guide for CIOs and Enterprise Technology Leaders

This guide addresses the critical security challenges facing CIOs as Claude rapidly becomes embedded in enterprise workflows. Claude is likely already being used throughout your organization, both through sanctioned enterprise contracts and unsanctioned “shadow AI,” creating significant security and compliance risks. Traditional security controls fall short because AI tools introduce a new risk vector: the sensitive data flowing through them rather than just the applications themselves.

This guide provides a framework for establishing visibility, implementing multi-surface controls, and building sustainable governance processes that support productive AI usage while protecting sensitive data.

• Shadow AI is widespread: Employees use Claude regardless of IT approval, often through personal subscriptions
• Multiple access surfaces require different controls: Web, native apps, CLI tools, and collaboration platforms each need tailored security approaches
• Blocking drives usage underground: Banning Claude eliminates visibility and productivity without solving the problem
• Data leakage is the core risk: Employees inadvertently share IP, confidential data, and regulated information
• Visibility comes first: Discover where Claude is used before implementing controls
• Balance real-time and retrospective controls: Browser extensions enable inline blocking; Compliance API provides native app monitoring
• Governance needs policy + technology: Combine technical controls with clear policies, training, and exception processes
• AI security is continuous, not one-time: New capabilities require ongoing adaptation of security measures
