Insider Risk & Zero-Trust
Verification

Zero-Trust controls aren’t bulletproof. See whether your employees have the ability to infer sensitive insights from LLM responses.

The Scenario

insider-scenario-img

You’ve rolled out least-privilege groups, created network segments, and granted conditional access. But if someone asks Copilot:

“Summarise current R&D cost-cutting plans and their HR impact.”

Copilot’s seemingly-harmless answers risk exposing strategies you can’t find in one file. Security needs proof that Zero-Trust also holds at the knowledge layer, not just the network layer.

How It Works

Clone Real Personas

Create copies of interns, contractors, or power users without impacting production.

Launch Insider-Style Prompts

Probe finance, HR, IP, and exec topics through Copilot/Glean.

Detect Segmentation Issues

Knostic flags risky answers and maps how they happen across employee boundaries.

Evaluate Insider Risk

Sort and filter by department, role, sensitivity level, or user context.

Fix & Verify

One click tightens labels and shores up your LLM to end oversharing.
