The Risk of Open AI Tools
When employees use ChatGPT or Claude directly, your organization has no control over what data is sent to these services. There is no audit trail, no PII detection and no way to enforce usage policies.
HOVIGuard addresses this problem by providing the same powerful models through a centralized platform -- with configurable data-protection filters, audit trail and admin control.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as 'open AI tools' here?+
Freely accessible chat interfaces of major AI vendors (e.g. the free or private tiers of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), used without central enterprise management.
Is private use of such tools forbidden?+
That depends on the vendor's terms of service and your company's internal policies. HOVIGuard does not replace legal assessment — it offers a centrally managed alternative where data processing and audit requirements are easier to implement.
Can employees still use open tools once HOVIGuard is in place?+
That decision rests with your company. HOVIGuard is a platform for secure AI access in the corporate context and does not interfere with private device or account use outside the company network.
What additional protection layers does HOVIGuard provide vs. open tools?+
HOVIGuard has multiple input-check layers (see MultiLayer Data Shield), an audit trail and administrative control. Details on the Features overview.
