Use Cases by Sector
Noxys is the first European sovereign AI Firewall — it sits between employees and AI services, detecting sensitive data exfiltration in real time without storing raw prompts.
These use cases show how Noxys enforces your data-loss-prevention policies in the three sectors with the highest Shadow AI exposure.
| Sector | Primary Risk | Key Regulations |
|---|---|---|
| Banking & Finance | Client portfolio data via ChatGPT | MiFID II, DORA, GDPR Art. 30 |
| Healthcare | Patient records pasted for AI summaries | HDS, HIPAA, GDPR |
| Legal | Contracts uploaded for AI review | Attorney-client privilege, GDPR, Bar rules |
What Shadow AI looks like in 2026
Shadow AI is the unsanctioned use of AI services (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) by employees to perform their job faster — without security review, data classification, or audit trail.
The pattern is always the same:
- Employee faces a complex or time-consuming task
- Employee copy-pastes work content into an AI chatbot
- Sensitive data leaves the perimeter — GDPR Art. 5(1)(f) breach, potential confidentiality violation
- No log exists — CISO has zero visibility
Noxys intercepts at step 3, in the browser, before the HTTP request leaves the machine.
How Noxys stops it
Employee browser
│
├─ Tier 1 detection (extension, offline, <2.5ms)
│ Regex patterns: IBAN, NIR, contract refs, SWIFT codes...
│
├─ Tier 2 detection (API, Presidio NER, <30ms)
│ Context-aware: names + dates + amounts = financial record
│
└─ Policy engine
Block → HTTP request cancelled, user coached
Coach → Warning shown, user can acknowledge or cancel
Log → Silent audit trail for SIEM
Raw prompts are never stored — only SHA-256 hash + risk metadata per GDPR by-design principle.
