How It Works
Paste-Time Governance in 5 Steps
From local detection to compliance dashboards, PasteGuard applies governance directly in human copy-paste workflows.
1. Clipboard Content Evaluated Locally
Copy-paste content is evaluated on-device to keep raw data local-first and minimize exposure.
2. Sensitive Patterns Detected
PasteGuard identifies patterns such as credentials, personal identifiers, and department-defined sensitive markers.
3. Policy Decision Applied
Detection results are evaluated against department policies and destination context to determine control action.
4. User Intervention (Warn / Redact / Block)
Users receive clear intervention based on policy: warning guidance, automatic redaction, or transfer blocking.
5. Event Recorded for Compliance Dashboards
Each governed event is logged so teams can monitor risk trends, overrides, and policy effectiveness.
