Secure ChatGPT Use at Work
Blocking ChatGPT is rarely the answer. Employees will find a way around it, use personal devices or fall behind on tasks that competitors complete in minutes. The better approach is to allow AI tools and control what can be sent.
Ventrin is a Chrome extension that scans and sanitises employee prompts locally in the browser before they are sent to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot. When sensitive content is detected, Ventrin warns the employee, rewrites the prompt automatically, or blocks the send — depending on your team's policy. Sensitive data never leaves the device unintentionally. Admins see every risk event in a central dashboard.
The problem with banning AI tools at work
Organisations that block ChatGPT often find that employees use it anyway on personal devices, bypass restrictions through browser profiles or simply fall behind on tasks their competitors complete in minutes.
A ban does not remove the risk — it removes visibility. Employees who circumvent restrictions are now outside any policy framework entirely. The business loses both the productivity benefit and control.
A better model is to define what is safe to send, build controls around risky content and maintain visibility of AI tool use across the organisation.
Employees use personal devices or personal browser profiles to access AI tools outside any policy framework.
Blanket bans prevent legitimate use cases that AI genuinely accelerates: research, drafting, summarisation.
Without a managed AI solution, businesses cannot see which tools are being used or what is being shared.
Manual policies applied inconsistently across teams create compliance gaps and resentment.
Discovering a data exposure after the fact is far more costly than preventing it at the prompt.
How Ventrin supports safe AI adoption at work
Ventrin provides a three-level control model: allow safe prompts through without interruption, warn employees when a prompt contains something that should be reviewed, and block prompts that contain credentials or high-risk content.
This model lets employees continue using AI tools for the tasks that benefit from them — writing, research, summarisation, analysis — while applying appropriate controls to the content that should not be shared. Admins see what is happening across the team without reading prompt content.
Key Ventrin features for this use case
Four response levels applied automatically based on content and policy configuration.
Set different rules for different departments. Legal gets stricter controls than content teams.
Apply rules per AI tool. Stricter limits on ChatGPT than an approved internal tool.
Visibility across the organisation. See risk frequency, team patterns and tool usage.
No proxy, no network change, no IT project. Deploy as a Chrome extension in minutes.
Employees only see Ventrin when a risk is detected. Normal prompts are not interrupted.

Built for teams that cannot afford a data incident
Local-first detection
The scanning model runs in your browser, not on our servers. Sensitive content never leaves the device for analysis.
No data egress
Ventrin does not receive, store or process your team's prompt content. Only risk event metadata is logged.
Configurable policy controls
Warn, sanitise or block based on content type and team role. Full control over how the extension behaves.
Admin event logs
Every flagged event is recorded with risk type, action and timestamp. Provides the audit trail your compliance process needs.
Protect your team's AI use from the browser
Ventrin deploys as a Chrome extension. No proxy, no network change, no IT project. Most teams are protected on the same day.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Ventrin's policy engine supports role and team-level configurations. You can set minimal controls for a team with low data risk — for example, a social media team — and strict controls for legal, HR or finance teams. Policies are managed from the admin dashboard.
Ventrin scans every prompt for risk patterns before it is sent. It does not record or store the content of prompts that pass through without triggering a risk. Only events where a risk is detected generate a log entry, and those entries record the risk type and action taken, not the full prompt text.
No. Ventrin is a technical control, not a governance document. A written AI use policy sets expectations and provides legal grounding. Ventrin enforces specific technical rules within that policy framework. Both are needed.
Ventrin monitors prompt submission events in the browser rather than a specific interface layout. Most interface changes do not affect detection. The extension is actively maintained and updated for compatibility with major AI tool platforms.
No. Ventrin works for teams of any size, from a sole trader to a team of hundreds. Pricing is per seat. There is no minimum seat count for early access.
Yes. The admin dashboard shows events by user, allowing compliance leads or managers to identify individuals who may need additional guidance or policy changes.
