Redactive Permissions Assurance: Setting a New Standard for How Enterprises Secure Their Data in the AI-Era
Today, we're proud to announce the launch of Redactive Permissions Assurance, a new addition to our AI Security Platform, setting a new standard for how enterprises secure their data in the AI-era.
As organizations race to implement generative AI, the challenge of managing data access permissions at scale has become a critical bottleneck – one that traditional security approaches weren't built to handle. Redactive Permissions Assurance helps enterprises uplift their overall data security posture, identifying and resolving data access risks before they block AI initiatives.
Why Permissions Assurance Matters Now
The rapid adoption of generative AI has fundamentally changed how organizations need to think about data security in order to prevent AI-enabled data leaks.
To drive maximum business value, AI systems need access to unstructured data stored within multiple applications – including knowledge bases like SharePoint, Google Drive, and Confluence, as well as CRMs and similar tooling. Granting AI access to these applications makes it crucial to understand and control who can access what information across your entire organization in a more precise, granular level than ever before. It's no longer enough to manage permissions at the application-level or simply apply data classifications at the document-level.
For regulated enterprises, this challenge is particularly acute and the stakes are high: a single permissions gap could lead to confidential information being exposed through an AI application or agent. Security teams are caught between enabling AI innovation and ensuring robust data governance.
Securing Enterprise Data Beyond Basic Access Control
Application-level security and traditional access controls are solutions developed for a simpler time, and are insufficient in the face of AI. While existing tools like Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) excel at discovery and classification, they fall short of solving the fundamental access challenge. Even SSO, while providing group-level control, can't deliver the granular visibility that AI demands.
"What sets Redactive Permissions Assurance apart is its ability to understand fine-grained data semantically, detecting sensitive chunks of information – be that a sentence, image, or video – within otherwise non-sensitive documents.
This means it can identify and resolve data access threats that would be impossible to detect with traditional data security tools."
For CISOs and security leaders, this provides unprecedented visibility into data access risks while significantly reducing the manual effort required to maintain proper governance.
It’s (Finally) Time to Remove Misconfigured Permissions from the Risk Register
Whilst AI adoption has caused permissions assurance to gain critical status on the risk register, it has been a persistent, unsolvable problem for security teams long before the AI-era.
The combination of massive amounts of unstructured data, human error in permission settings, and the fact security teams struggle to gain visibility into permissions at the application-level, let alone the document-level, created an unsolvable security vulnerability that’s sat on enterprise risk registers for far too long.
Redactive Permissions Assurance introduces a new paradigm in data access control that uplifts an organization’s overall data security posture, as well as safely enabling autonomous AI data access.
Using advanced semantic AI analysis, it helps security teams:
Continuously identify confidential information and resolve data access risks across their entire data ecosystem
Automatically remediate permission mismatches before they can impact AI deployments
Ensure consistent access controls across all knowledge bases and data sources by enabling data owners to investigate and resolve issues quickly
Build a comprehensive understanding of an organization's true data access patterns
Enabling Responsible AI Adoption
Permissions Assurance is more than just a data security tool – it's a key enabler for enterprise AI adoption. By providing security teams with the tools they need to manage data access at scale, Redactive is helping organizations:
Reduce the risk of data leaks and compliance violations
Accelerate AI initiatives while maintaining strict data security standards
Build confidence in AI deployments, particularly in regulated environments
Transform the security team from an AI blocker into an AI enabler
Get Started with Permissions Assurance
As enterprises continue their AI journey, having a robust foundation for data access control becomes increasingly critical. Redactive Permissions Assurance provides that foundation, helping security teams stay ahead of emerging risks while enabling responsible AI adoption.
