DLP for ChatGPT and LLMs: why classic data loss prevention is not enough

Limitations of traditional DLP for LLM prompts and how AI Vault masking protects enterprise ChatGPT and multi-model usage.

Classic DLP watches files and email gateways. LLM risk is different: free-text prompts, multi-turn memory and agent tool calls.

Gaps in classic DLP

  • prompts are not files;
  • users paste partial excerpts;
  • agents can act (send, write, deploy);
  • false confidence if only endpoints are locked.

What works better

Combine:

  • prompt inspection / Vault masking;
  • policy classes for actions;
  • approved workspace UX so people stop bypassing controls;
  • logs for investigations.

FAQ

Is DLP enough for ChatGPT?

Endpoint DLP helps but rarely covers conversational prompts and agent actions. Add Vault masking and AI policy controls.
