What's new

Invite entire teams at once with bulk employee import. Upload an employee list to send invitations and assign users to existing groups in a single action. The system validates each entry, flagging issues like invalid email addresses or unknown group names so you can correct them before completing the import.

Apply policies to organizational groups, not just individuals. Organize your team by groups—departments, projects, or custom units—with full hierarchy support. Set policies once for an entire group, making it far simpler to maintain consistent AI governance across your organization.

Manage policies in bulk, with sharper legal references. Select multiple policies at once and activate, pause, or delete them from the new action bar — without losing your filter context. Policy preset cards now cite more precise EU AI Act article references, verified in a legal audit, so every preset shows exactly which obligation it addresses.

More AI tools, more reliable protection. Now you can monitor Midjourney and Kling alongside your other approved tools. And with more stable authentication, your team stays signed in and protected across browser tabs — less friction, stronger enforcement of your AI policy.

Shield Web is now on Microsoft Edge. The same AI oversight and policy enforcement, now for Edge teams — install it from the official Microsoft Edge Add-ons listing and roll it out alongside Chrome and Firefox.

Audit logs built for your global team. Activity records now display in your team's language with clear platform context, and you can filter by platform for faster investigation. Compliance reviews are more thorough and more efficient.

Access compliance guidance faster from within policies. Policy details now link directly to relevant compliance help and best practices, so your security team can quickly understand requirements without navigating elsewhere.

Protection that sticks, everywhere your team works. This release strengthens how Shield Web enforces your AI governance rules. Your approval and blocking rules now work reliably—even through app reloads, browser navigation, incognito browsing, and enterprise apps like Microsoft 365. Your settings also stick after Shield restarts, so your team's protection never slips away.

Shield Web is now on Firefox Add-ons. The same AI oversight and policy enforcement, now for Firefox teams — install it from the official Firefox Add-ons listing and roll it out alongside Chrome.

Better visibility into your active policies. Preset bundles now display their title and description directly in the list, with a clear indicator of which policies are applied. Your security team can understand your governance configuration at a glance.

Policy frameworks for six jurisdictions and standards. The preset library now covers the EU AI Act, GDPR, DIFC Regulation 10, Korea's AI Basic Act, US AI-in-employment rules, and ISO 42001/NIST-aligned bundles — each recognizable at a glance by its jurisdiction flag. New organizations start with compliance-labeled starter policies, and your existing policies can be adopted into a framework without rebuilding them.

Compliance-ready policies, out of the box. Shield Control now includes policy presets for the EU AI Act and GDPR, so your team can deploy governance frameworks faster. No need to build policies from scratch anymore.

Financial data now gets the same on-device protection as PII and secrets. Your transform and block policies now cover IBANs, card numbers, BIC/SWIFT and bank routing numbers — redacted or blocked in prompts and pastes before they reach an AI tool, right alongside the personal data and credentials Shield already protected.

Manage multiple policies at once. Enable, pause, or delete multiple policies in a single step instead of managing them individually. Your security team spends less time in administration and more time on strategic governance priorities.

Policy actions are now clearer and faster to configure. Policy actions now display as icon cards with helpful hints, making policy configuration more intuitive for your team. Full English and German support ensures your entire security team can work in their preferred language.

Easier policy management for your security team. This release improves how you define and enforce AI policies with automatic naming, clearer visual organization, and intelligent guidance. Set governance rules faster and with greater confidence.

Set up your AI tool policies faster and see where your coverage might have gaps. Shield Control now intelligently pre-selects tools during policy configuration, speeding up enforcement. You'll also see which users rely on private browsing modes, helping you address gaps where your policies might not be enforced.

Control financial data exposure when using AI tools. Shield Web now detects financial data types, empowering your team to prevent sensitive banking information from being shared with AI assistants. This enhanced detection gives you finer control over which data categories can flow to different tools and stronger enforcement of your AI security policy.

A clearer, more accessible block screen. The block screen now looks more polished and is easier for everyone to use — keyboard navigation stays right where it should, so the experience is smooth and accessible no matter how your team works.

Block an unapproved AI tool outright — not just individual actions. Until now you could control what AI assistants were allowed to do; now you can keep a disallowed tool from being used at all. When someone opens a tool that isn't approved for your team, Shield Web meets them with a clear block screen — turning your AI policy into something people actually see and follow.

Your AI at a glance — the new Safe-AI dashboard. A redesigned home screen surfaces the three numbers that matter most: how much AI use is monitored, how many risky AI events were blocked, and how many AI risks are still open. Open Shield Control and know where you stand in seconds.

Sharper policies — and block a whole tool in one click. Policies now distinguish between general rules and rules for a specific AI tool, so you can be broad where it helps and precise where it matters. Need to shut something down fast? Block an entire AI tool with a single click.

Smoother and more reliable, everywhere you work. This release makes monitoring steadier across the sites your team visits and adds a quick way to share feedback right inside the extension. Less to think about, more consistent protection in the background.

Stronger account and domain protection. We strengthened the safeguards around how organizations and their domains are protected, so access stays scoped to the right people. No action is needed on your side.

Invite-only onboarding for your organization. Bringing your team on board is now controlled by invitation, so only the people you invite can join your organization. Cleaner setup, and access stays in your hands from day one.

More dependable protection when you need it most. This release fixes critical reliability issues in Shield Web's enforcement and authentication systems. Your AI policies now stay consistently active during extension updates, browser restarts, and complex session scenarios — with far fewer edge cases where enforcement could briefly lapse.

One sign-in across Shield Control and the browser extension. Single sign-on ties Shield Control and Shield Web together, so your team uses one login everywhere. Fewer passwords to manage, and a consistent way in across the platform.

Sign in once, and stay in control of your data. Shield Web now signs in with your Shield Control account, so your team gets access through the same login they already use. You decide what the extension may collect — data-collection consent is yours to grant or revoke at any time, and a clearer first-run experience makes those choices obvious from the start.

Lock down your AI policy with new consent controls and admin enforcement. Shield Web now automatically redacts sensitive data when you paste it into AI tools, protecting your team during interactions. New consent management options ensure privacy compliance, and IT teams can mandate Shield Web installation and lock policy settings to enforce your AI governance consistently across your organization.

Self-serve plans and billing. Choose your plan and manage billing yourself, right inside Shield Control. Upgrade when you're ready, see exactly what you're paying for, and keep everything in one place.

Keep your sensitive data out of AI interactions. Shield Web now intelligently detects sensitive information on the page and can automatically redact it when you interact with AI tools. Your team stays productive with approved assistants while protecting what matters most. When you need to share something sensitive, un-redacting is just one click away.

See every AI tool in use, with a complete audit trail. Shield Control now gives you a clear inventory of the AI tools active across your organization, backed by an audit trail you can hand to security and compliance. Know what's in use — and prove it.

Shield Web is live on the Chrome Web Store. Shield Web brings AI oversight to the browser — the place most AI use actually happens. Roll it out across your team to see which AI tools people use and apply your organization's rules right as they work, without slowing anyone down.
