The Challenge
Your team is using AI. But what are they pasting into it?
AI tools can help your team work faster. But staff may accidentally copy client details, emails, invoices, staff information, contracts, passwords, or confidential notes into AI tools. Most small businesses have no simple way to see or reduce that risk.
Sensitive data can be shared by mistake
Names, emails, invoices, contracts, and private notes can easily end up in AI prompts.
Owners lack visibility
You may not know what information staff are using with AI or where the biggest risks are.
AI policies alone are not enough
Telling staff to be careful helps, but simple checks at the moment of use are much stronger.
The Solution
Sector8 checks before sensitive data is shared.
Sector8 AI Guard runs alongside supported AI tools and helps staff spot sensitive information before they use it in AI. The first supported app is Claude Desktop. If something risky is found, Sector8 can warn staff, help remove personal details, or stop high-risk information from being shared.
Staff prepare to use AI
They copy content from emails, documents, spreadsheets, client files, or internal notes.
Sector8 checks for sensitive information
Such as client details, staff information, financial data, passwords, or confidential business text.
Staff use a safer version
Sector8 helps remove sensitive details and records simple safety activity for the owner.
