# Policy and Governance

## Let your AI and SaaS policy enforce itself

Most enterprise security policies are static documents that employees ignore under deadline pressure. User Risk automatically enforces security rules in the browser. Set flexible usage policies once, detect unapproved apps and guide users to safe alternatives in real time.

User Risk closes the gap between security policy and workforce behavior. It evaluates live browser activity against your AI and SaaS guidelines, automatically flagging violations, scoring risk, and applying guardrails at the point of action. Instead of retroactive audits or blanket bans, it guides employees to sanctioned alternatives as they work. That means provable governance without slowing the workforce down.

## Define granular policies for AI and SaaS usage

Set flexible governance rules (Approve, Tolerate, Nudge, or Block) tailored by team or role. Ensure Engineering, Marketing, and Finance have guardrails matched to their workflows.

## Detect policy violations in real time

Surface Shadow AI usage, risky file uploads, and unvetted OAuth permissions as they happen. Catch risks in real time, not weeks later in an audit log.

## Enforce guardrails at the point of action

Intercept risky behavior right inside the browser. Block sensitive data copy-pastes or automatically redirect employees to corporate-sanctioned alternatives without halting momentum.
