It does not read everything your staff type.
It reads the box of a covered AI tool, at the moment of a send. Not keystrokes, not the clipboard, not the screen, not pages merely visited.
Itzal Guard
Ten AI tools, four browsers, eight kinds of sensitive data. Guard reads what is about to be sent on the employee's own machine and warns or stops it there, the text itself never reaches us.
What you get
Not features, the things a security team can actually do differently once Guard is on the fleet.
01
Every finding, with the tool, the framework it falls under and the action taken. The sensitive text is masked before the record leaves the laptop.
02
An inline banner in the AI tool's own page, before the send. They decide, and the decision is recorded.
03
HIPAA can block while Internal only warns. You set it once and it applies to the fleet.
04
Turned on per tenant. It reports the hostname of a tool nobody put on the list, never the content, which is how you find out what you are actually dealing with.
Where it works
Capture is built per tool. A tool outside the list is still reported by hostname if you turn discovery on, and never by content.
AI tools, in the browser
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Le Chat, Meta AI and Poe.
Browsers
Chrome and Edge on MV3, plus Firefox and Safari. Pushed by browser policy through your MDM, never installed by the employee.
Desktop apps
The ChatGPT, Claude and Codex desktop apps on Mac and Windows, read through the operating system rather than by intercepting the app's connection.
Frameworks
A finding is not just a kind of data, it is a kind of data under an obligation. Each framework carries its own thresholds and its own action, which is what lets one laptop block for HIPAA and only warn for Internal.
HIPAA
Health records
Patient names, record numbers and clinical detail, under the identifiers the rule lists.
PCI DSS
Card data
Card numbers validated by Luhn and BIN, so a test number next to the word example does not fire.
GDPR
EU personal data
Names, addresses, identifiers and the context that makes them a record rather than a mention.
CCPA
California residents
The same personal data, under the obligations that apply in California.
GLBA
Customer financials
Account and routing numbers, balances, and the material non-public information around them.
FERPA
Education records
Student records and anything that identifies a student inside them.
SOX
Financial reporting
Unreleased results, forecasts and the working papers behind them.
Internal
Your own rules
Your patterns and your own kinds of thing, in your words: project codename, claim handler, deal name.
Plans
Guard is in every edition. What changes is how far it reaches: Guard Essentials covers the AI websites staff use in a browser, and Guard Pro adds the desktop apps, redaction and tool approval.
Guard Essentials Included
The AI websites staff use in a browser, with log and warn.
Guard Pro Included
Desktop AI apps as well, plus redaction and AI tool approval.
Itzal Business Included
As Guard Pro, alongside Shield and Mail on the same agent.
Itzal Enterprise Included
As Itzal Business, plus text in images and Purview labels.
What it catches
None of these people are doing anything wrong. That is the whole problem.
Support
A support agent pastes a customer record into ChatGPT to draft a reply.
The name, address and account number are found before the send. The agent gets the warning; the record reaches the console with the number masked.
Engineering
An engineer pastes a config file into Claude to debug it, credentials included.
The API key detector fires on the secret, not on the rest of the file. Under Internal that warns; you can set it to block.
Recruiting
A recruiter pastes a CV into Gemini to summarise it.
Person name, email, phone and postal address, all four at once, which is what makes it a record rather than a question.
When it finds something
Three settings, chosen per compliance framework rather than per person, so HIPAA can block on the same laptop where Internal only warns. Most companies spend the first couple of months on the first one.
Quietest
Nobody is interrupted. You get a picture of what is happening before you change anything about how people work.
In the middle
A banner before the send, saying what was spotted. They decide, and the decision is recorded.
Firmest
Held until the data is taken out. Only where you have decided it is worth it, so the rule does not push people somewhere worse.
Set it to watch for a month, then decide. That is how almost everyone starts.
Book a demo How the rollout worksWhat Guard does not do
Every product on this site has a boundary. Ours are worth knowing before you buy rather than after, and the console reports them the same way.
It reads the box of a covered AI tool, at the moment of a send. Not keystrokes, not the clipboard, not the screen, not pages merely visited.
Guard is on the laptops you manage. A phone somebody owns is outside a device-based control, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.
A determined person can read a record on one screen and type it into another. Guard is a control on the ordinary route, not a guarantee against intent.
Questions
Short answers. The longer versions are in the pages linked from each one.
No. Detection runs on the laptop. What reaches the console is the finding, the kind of data, the count, the tool, the action, with the text masked. There is no field in the record that holds the message.
The send goes through. Guard fails open at 250 milliseconds, because a DLP tool that freezes somebody's browser gets uninstalled by the person it was protecting.
Yes, on Mac and Windows. The desktop apps are read through the operating system's own accessibility layer rather than by intercepting their connection, which those apps pin and which interception breaks.
No. The extension goes out by browser policy through your MDM, so it is not in the employee's list of extensions to remove. The agent runs as a managed service.
If you turn discovery on, you get the hostname and nothing else, never the content. It is how you find out which tools your staff actually use before you decide what to do about them.
Yes. Detection is local, so warnings and blocks still happen. Events sit in an encrypted buffer on the device and upload when the network returns.
The rest of the family
Most companies start here, then add the others as licences. There is nothing further to install when they do.
Shield
Checks files copied to USB drives, dropped into sync folders, or uploaded to personal email and file sharing, the routes that never pass a web proxy.
Read about Shield
Checks Outlook and Gmail before the send: the message, the subject, the attachments and who it is going to, on the machine.
Read about Mail
Lens
Finds where sensitive data already lives and which AI tools are already in use, so the first policy is built on your company rather than on a guess.
