Bonfy introduces Contextual Data Enforcement to restrict what AI systems can access from corporate data stores, addressing rising security challenges as enterprises connect assistants like ChatGPT and Copilot to internal repositories.

Bonfy has introduced a new control layer designed to govern what enterprise AI systems can actually pull from corporate data stores, as businesses race to connect assistants such as Claude, Copilot and ChatGPT to internal repositories. The company says Contextual Data Enforcement sits between the AI client and services including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, checking requests before information reaches the model and applying policy in real time. That approach is intended to preserve existing identity and file permissions while adding a separate layer of control over what AI can retrieve, summarise or reuse.

The launch speaks to a growing security concern inside organisations adopting generative AI: traditional access rights were built for human users, not for systems that can ingest large volumes of content in seconds and reuse it across workflows. Bonfy argues that this creates a gap between what an employee may be allowed to open and what an AI tool should be permitted to process at all. Its system is pitched as a way to inspect content as it flows back from cloud repositories, blocking material that breaches policy before it enters the AI workflow.
