Knostic provides need-to-know based access controls for LLM-based enterprise AI systems. The company's platform addresses data governance and security challenges that arise when organizations deploy large language models like Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools across their enterprise environments. The platform offers visibility into how LLMs access and share organizational data, identifying potential oversharing, undersharing, and inference risks. Knostic implements knowledge-centric access controls that determine what information AI systems should be able to access and share based on user permissions and data sensitivity. The company focuses on enabling enterprises to deploy AI tools while maintaining control over sensitive information. Their solution integrates with enterprise AI deployments to monitor and control data exposure, preventing unauthorized access to confidential information through AI interfaces. Knostic addresses scenarios where AI systems might inadvertently expose data that users should not have access to based on their role or clearance level. The company serves organizations across regulated industries including finance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, and government sectors where data governance and compliance requirements are critical. Knostic's approach combines identity and access management principles with AI-specific security controls to create a framework for safe enterprise AI adoption.
