# How Do I Make Sure AI Doesn't Access Sensitive Data?

You make sure AI does not access sensitive data by controlling exactly what a system can read, edit, or act on at the field level, not letting AI loose across every table in the company. On **Jestor**, this control lives at the field, role, and action level, so an **AI agent** only touches what you explicitly authorize.

Many operations leaders hesitate to adopt AI not because of the technology itself, but because "AI reading everything" sounds like a security risk. The real question is not whether to use AI, it is whether the platform lets you precisely scope it.

## What worries companies

- AI agents reading or editing sensitive fields with no restriction
- No audit trail showing what an agent changed and when
- Access that is not role-specific across departments
- Uncertainty about where company data is stored and processed

## How Jestor scopes AI safely

- **Security** permissions are granular, by role, field, and action
- You define exactly which fields an **AI agent** can read or edit, per process
- **SOC 2 Type I and II** certification, with regular penetration testing
- Encryption and access auditing apply across the whole platform, not just AI features

## Why this matters for real operations

- Different agents can have different scopes, a finance agent does not need HR access
- Nothing an agent does falls outside the limits you define
- The security architecture is not AI-specific, it is the same layer protecting the whole platform
- Auditability means you can always trace who, or what, changed a record
