SSO Is the Allowlist — Verified Sessions Only

When someone opens a GenAI tool, AI Data Shield checks the session in the browser before the page becomes a place to paste. The rule is simple: SSO is the allowlist. If the session is authenticated through your company’s identity provider, verified platforms can load per policy. If it isn’t, access stops — without asking IT to chase a manual list of every new AI site that appears.

That check sits in the Verify step of Detect → Verify → Decide, right where shadow AI actually happens.

Detect → Verify → Decide

Once the extension is deployed and SSO is connected, every GenAI open runs this verification.

DETECT

See the attempt

The extension recognizes an AI platform access attempt as the tab loads — before content is exchanged.

VERIFY

Check SSO

The session is checked against your company SSO / IdP. Verified identity is the trust signal; an open tab alone is not.

DECIDE

Allow or block

Policy allows SSO-verified sessions on approved platforms. Unverified or out-of-policy attempts are blocked.

After you Deploy the extension and Connect SSO (hub steps 01–02), this is the continuous verification that runs on every GenAI open.

What this control delivers

01 · Benefit

Identity-aligned GenAI control

GenAI access follows the same IdP trust model you already use elsewhere; no parallel “AI-only” allowlist to maintain by hand.

02 · Benefit

Fewer blind openings

Personal or unverified sessions don’t silently become a data path just because the site is reachable on the public web.

03 · Benefit

Policy-backed outcomes

Allow/block is driven by SSO status plus your rules, not by hoping employees remember which tools are sanctioned.

04 · Benefit

Clear operational story

Auditors and leadership can hear a concrete control: “only SSO-verified AI sessions proceed.”

What people see day to day

They open an approved, SSO-verified AI tool and work as usual. If they hit an unverified or out-of-policy tool, they see a block at open — with a clear signal to use a verified path — instead of a surprise review later.
