    The governance layer of the Behest control plane

    Keep sensitive data and bad prompts out of your AI.

    Behest scrubs private data, blocks prompt attacks, and controls which teams can use which AI models, with a record of every call your security and risk teams can stand behind.

    The short version

    What is Behest's AI governance?

    Behest's AI governance keeps sensitive data and risky prompts away from models: it removes personal information before the model sees it, screens for prompt attacks, controls which teams can use which models, and logs every call for audit. It is the governance layer of Behest, the enterprise AI control plane.

    What you get with AI Governance

    AI Governance is included on the Enterprise plan.

    • Stop sensitive data from leaking into AI

      Personal and confidential information is found and removed before a prompt ever reaches a model, so private data does not end up in an AI provider's logs.

    • Block malicious prompts automatically

      Behest screens incoming prompts for attacks and abuse and stops the bad ones, so no one can hijack your AI features or pull data they should not see.

    • Control which teams use which models

      Decide exactly which AI models each team is allowed to use, and keep a record of every call, so approvals and audits are simple and nothing runs off the books.

    Built for your compliance and risk reviews

    Selling AI into a regulated enterprise means answering to legal, security, and AI risk teams. Behest gives them what they ask for: a record of every AI call, clear model approvals, no-train commitments in the contract, and controls you can map to frameworks like the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

    Behest does not assign a risk class on your behalf. Your organization documents its own prohibited and high-risk uses, using the artifacts we provide during enterprise review.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is AI Governance in Behest?
    Behest applies safety and policy controls to every AI call your company makes: it removes personal information before the model sees it, screens prompts for attacks, limits which models each team can use, and keeps an audit record. Developers get all of this without building their own controls.
    How does Behest support the EU AI Act?
    Behest is built for companies that classify their own use-case risk under the EU AI Act. It supports the transparency records buyers need, like model disclosure, approved-model lists, and change-notification commitments in enterprise agreements, plus audit-ready logging. Your legal team makes the final risk classification.
    How does Behest map to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework?
    Behest lines up with the NIST AI RMF functions enterprises already use: Govern (policy and approvals), Map (visibility into data flows and model use), Measure (usage, cost, and safety signals for each call), and Manage (budgets, kill switches, and response hooks). The exact mapping is documented in enterprise security reviews.
    Does Behest use customer prompts to train AI models?
    No. Enterprise agreements include contractual no-train language, and Behest expects the same commitment from upstream providers, in line with 2026 procurement standards. Your legal team sees the exact clauses during review.
    Can we control which AI models each team is allowed to use?
    Yes. Your administrators decide which models each team can call. Anything outside that list is blocked, so a new provider cannot appear without a deliberate policy change. That keeps unapproved shadow AI and model sprawl in check.
