Use Case: Banking & Finance

The Risk

Traders, analysts, and relationship managers routinely handle sensitive client data. Under time pressure, they reach for AI assistants to draft reports, summarize portfolios, or analyze market data — pasting raw client records directly into ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot.

Typical Shadow AI incidents in banking:

What Noxys Detects

Noxys ships Tier 1 (browser-side, offline) recognizers that fire on financial identifiers with no network call:

Recognizer IDPatternExample
FIN-001IBAN (all 34 country formats)FR76 3000 6000 0112 3456 7890 189
FIN-002BIC/SWIFT codeBNPAFRPPXXX
FIN-003Credit card number (Luhn-validated)4532 0151 1283 0366
FIN-004French RIB30006 00001 12345678901 85
FIN-005Tax identification number (NIF/SIRET)362 521 879 00034

Tier 2 (server-side, Presidio NER) adds context-aware detection:

  • Name + account number + amount → client financial record
  • Company name + SIRET + financial figures → corporate confidential data

Policy Configuration

Recommended policy for a French retail bank:

# CISO Console → Policies → New Policy
name: "Financial Data — Block to Unsanctioned AI"
scope:
groups: ["traders", "analysts", "relationship-managers"]

rules:
- condition:
risk_signals: ["FIN-001", "FIN-002", "FIN-003", "FIN-004", "FIN-005"]
ai_services: unsanctioned # any service not in your approved catalog
action: Block
coach_message: >
Financial identifiers detected. This data cannot be sent to unsanctioned
AI services. Use the approved Noxys-secured AI workspace or contact your
CISO team.

- condition:
risk_signals: ["FIN-001", "FIN-002"]
ai_services: sanctioned # e.g. your enterprise Copilot tenant
action: Log
redact: true # send redacted version, log the event

Result: Raw IBAN/SWIFT never leaves the browser to any unsanctioned AI. Your enterprise Copilot receives a redacted version with audit trail.
