AI is transforming how we work. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and dozens of other AI tools have become essential for productivity. But there's a problem no one is talking about: every day, employees accidentally leak sensitive company data into these AI systems.
We built PromptDuty because we saw this problem firsthand. After speaking with over 50 CISOs, CTOs, and IT directors, we heard the same story again and again: "We can't block AI tools—our employees need them. But we have zero visibility into what data is leaving our organization."
The Problem is Real
Consider these scenarios that happen every day in organizations worldwide:
- A lawyer pastes an entire client contract into ChatGPT to summarize it
- An HR manager asks Claude to help draft a termination letter—including the employee's full name and details
- A developer shares production API keys with Copilot while debugging
- A financial analyst uploads a spreadsheet with customer credit card numbers to get help with a formula
None of these employees intend to cause a data breach. They're just trying to be productive. But the consequences can be severe: GDPR violations, HIPAA breaches, broken client confidentiality, and leaked trade secrets.
Why Existing Solutions Don't Work
We evaluated every existing approach to this problem:
Block AI tools entirely? Employees will find workarounds. They'll use personal devices or find alternative AI tools. You lose visibility completely.
Build your own AI infrastructure? Expensive, complex, and still doesn't prevent users from accessing public AI tools in their browser.
Train employees? Important, but insufficient. People make mistakes, especially when they're focused on getting work done quickly.
Traditional DLP solutions? Most were built for email and file sharing. They don't understand the unique patterns of AI prompts and can't intercept data in real-time before it leaves the browser.
Our Approach: Protect Without Blocking
PromptDuty takes a different approach. Instead of blocking AI tools, we protect the data flowing into them:
- Real-time interception: We scan every prompt before it's sent to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and 20+ other AI tools
- Smart detection: We identify PII, financial data, API keys, client names, and custom patterns you define
- Flexible response: Depending on the sensitivity, we can warn users, automatically mask data, or block the prompt entirely
- Complete visibility: Every interaction is logged so you can demonstrate compliance
The key insight is that employees don't need to send actual sensitive data to get value from AI. If you're asking ChatGPT to help write an email to "John Smith," it works just as well if we replace the name with "[CLIENT_1]" before sending.
Built for Enterprise, Deployed in Minutes
We obsessed over making PromptDuty easy to deploy. Most enterprise security tools require agents, servers, and weeks of configuration. PromptDuty is a browser extension that deploys via Microsoft Intune or Google Workspace in under 10 minutes.
No agents to install. No servers to manage. No maintenance burden for your IT team.
The Future of AI Security
We believe AI will become as essential as email. And just like email needed spam filters and DLP, AI needs its own layer of protection.
PromptDuty is that layer. We're building the security infrastructure that lets organizations embrace AI confidently, knowing their sensitive data is protected.
