What to Know About DeepSeek
Data stored in the PRC per the provider's privacy policy.
Why Chat Assistant Tools Need Governing
General chat assistants are the most used AI apps at work, and the place where pasted contracts, spreadsheets and client records most often end up.
Approve one assistant per client with a work account, warn or block the rest, and let the data rules stop sensitive content in prompts and uploads.
How ProctoredAI Governs DeepSeek
- See it. The agent reports every device and account using DeepSeek, and finds the installed desktop app on macOS.
- Decide it. Mark it Approved, Unapproved or Blocked for each client. Unapproved use can ask the person for a business reason first.
- Protect what is sent. Prompts and uploads are inspected on the device, and credentials, health and payment data and sensitive documents are stopped, redacted or warned on by the client's rules.
- Prove it. Usage, decisions and blocked events land in the client's monthly report as evidence.
Policy Packs That Fit
- Credentials & Secrets. Block API keys, private keys, passwords and connection strings everywhere.
- Sensitive Documents. Contracts, financial statements, HR and medical records, customer lists and credential files may only go to approved AI apps.
