Sensitive data is leaking into GenAI tools

Copilot and ChatGPT are in the building, and nobody can see what data is going into them. This is the fastest-growing reason teams start a data security evaluation in 2025–26.

The situation

The trigger is usually a screenshot: someone pasted a customer list into a chatbot, or Copilot surfaced a document it shouldn't have. The question isn't “which tool is best” — it's “what can actually see prompts, not just file uploads.” Most tools see uploads and copy-paste; far fewer see what a user types.

What this needs

This trigger maps to Data loss prevention and Detection & response. Start from platforms strong in those capabilities — filter the ledger by them, or begin with these:

Independent
Cyberhaven
Data lineage from the endpoint — traces movement, not just location, including into GenAI tools. Its own 2024 extension incident is part of its record.
Acq. Normalyze · 2024
Proofpoint DSPM
Normalyze inside the email and insider-threat stack. Compelling if you're already a Proofpoint shop.
Native to M365 / E5
Microsoft Purview
The default every rival must beat on value. Strong where your tenant is; classification accuracy is the recurring complaint.

What to watch for

Vendors will demo blocking file uploads and call it GenAI coverage. Ask specifically about typed-prompt visibility and whether it works on your sanctioned internal LLM, not just public ones.
