What security features come with business AI plans?
Core security features
Most business AI plans offer single sign-on (SSO) so employees can log in with their existing company credentials, often via providers like Okta or Azure AD. This reduces password sprawl and makes it easier to revoke access when someone leaves.
Data encryption is standard: your data is encrypted in transit (using TLS) and at rest (using AES-256 or similar). Some plans also let you control data residency—where your data is stored geographically.
Audit logs are common, allowing admins to see who used the AI, when, and what they did. This helps with compliance and investigating incidents.
Compliance and admin controls
Business plans often come with compliance certifications like SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA (for healthcare), or ISO 27001. These certifications show the provider meets certain security and privacy standards.
Admins usually get a dashboard to manage users, set permissions, and enforce policies. For example, you might be able to block certain types of queries or restrict access to sensitive data.
Some providers also offer data processing agreements (DPAs) and options to opt out of having your data used for model training. This is important for companies with strict data privacy requirements.
- SSO (SAML, OAuth) for centralized login.
- Encryption in transit and at rest.
- Audit logs and usage monitoring.
- Compliance certifications (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA).
- Admin controls for user management and data policies.
Common mistakes
- Assuming all business plans include the same security features—check the specific tier.
- Overlooking data training policies; some plans still use your data to improve models unless you opt out.
- Forgetting that security features like SSO may require an enterprise plan, not just a team plan.
