Occlum

We let companies use AI without leaking themselves into it.

Every day, employees paste sensitive data into ChatGPT and other AI tools: client records, contracts, source code. Occlum lives on company devices and runs each AI-bound request through its detection intelligence. Safe requests pass untouched, unsafe ones get occluded (made safe while the request keeps working as intended), dangerous ones get blocked by the company's own policy. Employees keep their AI tools, and the company gets control over what leaves that it can prove to auditors and regulators.

The problem

Every day, employees paste confidential data into ChatGPT and other AI tools: client records, contracts, source code. Often from personal accounts the company cannot see.

Banning AI does not work - usage goes underground
Leaving it open means being left without control
“What left the company yesterday?” - nobody can answer

The solution

Occlum sits on company devices and inspects every request going to AI. Safe ones pass unchanged, confidential ones are masked (the request keeps its meaning), dangerous ones are blocked under the company's own policy.

On the device - Sees any AI tool
Occlusion - The confidential part is masked, the request still works
Policy - The company's own rules
Audit - Provable to the regulator
