What the rules mean

Three actions, explained simply.

The same tool can have different rules in a school, a law firm or a design team. Choose the rules that match your work.

Allow

The selected rules allow the tool. Your usual rules about company data still apply.

Allow with controls

Use the tool with extra limits. That may mean an approved work account or rules about what staff can share.

Block

The selected rules recommend restricting the tool. Your IT team reviews the finding and decides what to change.

See the suggested rules for your industry.

We use the tool's purpose, risk details and the provider's data-use terms to suggest an action. Your team can use this as a starting point for its own choices.

More about using the rules.

What are industry rules?

They are suggested actions for AI tools: allow, allow with controls, or block. Choose your industry to see a starting set of rules for the kind of work you do. Your team makes the final decision.

How is the suggested action chosen?

We look at what the tool does, its known risks, and what the provider says about using customer content to train its AI. The rules also take account of risks linked to where data is handled and tools made for harmful uses.

How do I use these rules with my report?

Run a check on your network records, then use the industry rules to review the AI tools found. The free preview shows some findings; a full report includes every matched tool.

Will choosing a rule block a website?

No. This page explains suggested rules. Your IT team needs to review them and apply any changes in your own security tools.
