Forcepoint has expanded its unified AI security and data governance approach by bringing Claude Enterprise into the same protection framework customers use across email, endpoints, networks and enterprise AI workflows.
This is delivered via a new integration with the Claude Compliance API, enabling security and compliance teams to discover, classify and protect confidential information as soon as it is accessed or generated through Claude.
The company framed the challenge in terms of shrinking response times. As enterprises roll out AI copilots and agentic platforms—including Claude Enterprise, Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise—these tools are increasingly drawing from sensitive sources such as email, code repositories, financial systems and customer data.
Forcepoint said the resulting “window for response” has shortened from days to seconds, while regulatory oversight tightens and adversaries increase the pace of attacks.
Forcepoint’s central thesis is that enterprises need to secure data before agents act on it, rather than relying on controls that were never designed to see AI-driven interactions end-to-end.
To support this, Forcepoint provides a single AI data security view that covers Claude Enterprise, sanctioned AI tools, shadow AI usage and AI agents—under one policy and one console.
“Forcepoint leads the AI security market from the position we've always owned, which is the data. AI changed how information behaves. The enterprises that win will be the ones that start with the data and build up from there — fast enough to keep pace with the AI,” said Ryan Windham, CEO of Forcepoint.
“Now we're bringing Claude Enterprise under the same AI governance and data security trusted everywhere else. That gives our customers the ability to say yes to AI in their business, with the controls, the attribution and the proof to back it up. We're stopping what others can't.” Ryan Windham
Under the integration, Forcepoint said customers point the platform at Claude, after which data-aware AI security immediately takes over.
Through the Claude Compliance API, the console can bring in Claude Enterprise conversations, file uploads, generated responses and user activity, positioning this information alongside Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise for unified visibility.
Forcepoint also stated that historical Claude activity loads upon first connection, helping security teams start with context rather than beginning from a blank slate. In practical terms, the company aims to support classification of regulated data upstream of AI tools, and to enable real-time inspection of prompts and responses for approved AI applications.
Among the outcomes highlighted are audit-ready evidence to support requirements tied to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and SEC AI disclosure expectations, along with consistent tagging and protection of intellectual property and regulated information across sanctioned and shadow AI channels.
