Access-Controlled AI Knowledge With Full Audit Trails
Document-level access control, full query audit trails, SSO integration, and GDPR-compliant data handling for every piece of knowledge your AI touches.
Overview
What is AI knowledge governance?
When AI systems can answer questions from company knowledge, access control becomes critical. A support agent answering customer queries must never surface confidential financial projections. A junior employee asking the AI assistant must not see documents restricted to the executive team. AI knowledge governance enforces document-level access policies at query time and logs every access for compliance audit.
What's included
Document-level access control
Access policies are enforced at the individual document level, not just the data source level. Inherited permissions from source systems are respected automatically.
SSO and directory sync
Access policies are driven by your SSO provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace). Group membership changes propagate to access policies in real time.
Query audit trail
Every AI query that touches the knowledge base is logged, who asked, what they asked, which documents were retrieved, and what answer was generated.
Data classification
Automatic classification tags documents as Public, Internal, Confidential, or Restricted based on content and source system metadata.
Retention policies
Configure retention windows per data class. Documents reaching their retention limit are automatically removed from the knowledge base and the audit log records the deletion.
GDPR tooling
Data subject access request and right-to-erasure workflows are built in. Find and redact or delete all knowledge base entries relating to a specific individual on demand.
How it works
From setup to production
Connect SSO
Connect your identity provider. Group memberships and user attributes are synced and used to drive access policy evaluation.
Define Policies
Map document classification levels to user groups and roles. Policies apply immediately to all existing and future documents in the knowledge base.
Enforce
At query time, the governance layer filters retrieved documents to only those the querying user is permitted to see before the LLM generates an answer.
Audit
Pull audit reports for any user, document, or time range. Export in SIEM-compatible formats for integration with your compliance tooling.
