Use Case:Operationalize AU AI Policy
Turn Australian Government’s AI Compliancy Policy and 7-question Screening Tool into concrete, browser-native controls: in-browser inspection and redaction, AI access control and governance, and audit-ready evidence powered by Nexi, the built-in AI agent inside the DefensX Secure Digital Workspace.
Executive Summary
DefensX converts the browser into a secure digital workspace, inspecting LLM requests and responses inside that workspace.
DefensX enforces AI data protection policies, masking or blocking PII and source code in real time, controls which AI tools can be used, and records prompts and responses in a confidential, zero-trust ledger (“Third Eye”).
These controls align with the Australian Government’s AI Policy Guide and support the Screening Tool’s triage process.
What the Australian Government Expects
-
AI Policy Guide & Template
Set scope and purpose, define responsibilities, insist on ethics, risk checks, security, transparency, and human oversight, and have a plan for screening, incidents, and review. -
AI Screening Tool
Seven quick yes/no questions to detect higher-risk use cases: sensitive/personal data, autonomy, regulated decisions, contestability, adaptability.
How DefensX Helps
-
Zero-Trust AI Data Protection
Inspects LLM requests/responses in a secured browser workspace; masks or blocks PII and source code before anything leaves. -
AI-Aware DLP
Live PII detection for prompts and responses. -
Access & Governance
Block unauthorized AI tools by category; enforce authentication; limit developer code-related use; block desktop (“fat”) AI clients; stop Shadow IT. -
ChatGPT (Disable Data Sharing)
Require user login; automatically disable “Improve the model for everyone”, preventing session data from training OpenAI models. -
Microsoft Copilot (Commercial Data Protection)
Require Entra ID; prevent prompts/responses from being saved or used for external model training. -
“Third Eye” Logging
Confidential prompt ledger + telemetry mapped to SOC 2, GDPR, SOCI.
Most AI work happens in the browser.
DefensX turns it into a secure workspace, monitoring every interaction and protecting employees and AI agents alike.
Where Nexi Agent Kicks In
AI Data Protection runs inside the secure digital workspace.
Data-leak prevention is enforced at the source (the browser) before sensitive data can leave.
Nexi helps assess governance, surfaces evidence, and generates audit-ready reports on demand — even across different regulatory frameworks.

| Acts autonomously at scale / hard to intervene? | No | Block by category/tool in browser; easy to pause risky flows. |
| Affects vulnerable or marginalized groups? | No | Prompt logs enable review + contestability; access controls stop high-risk misuse. |
| Operates in a regulated area / legal implications? | No | Policy controls + audit-ready logs support approvals & documentation. |
