Kairro Overview
Kairro is the enterprise platform that unifies security, governance, compliance, and operational visibility so you can scale generative AI with confidence.
3 tightly-integrated components
Fast, secure backend · Admin console · Browser extension working together for real-time AI protection and governance.
Executive highlights
Enterprise-grade controls, real-time enforcement, and governance in one system.
Security-first
Fail-closed extension enforcement, SSO/MFA, and DLP-backed policies at the edge.
Governance-ready
Use-case intake, risk assessments, staged reviews, and audit readiness scores.
Operational visibility
Events, Shadow AI, DLP matches, and ops health in unified dashboards and exports.
Platform Architecture
Secure by design, with clear separation of enforcement, administration, and edge control.

Core Concepts
How Kairro models the enterprise AI landscape.
Organizations, Users, Teams & Identities
Multi-tenant with RBAC; every event, tool, endpoint, and policy is org-scoped.
AI Tools
- Approved Tools — allowed with policies/DLP
- Unapproved Tools — trigger warnings or blocks
- Discovered (Shadow AI) — surfaced automatically from telemetry
Policies & Rules
- DLP severity thresholds
- Allowed/denied AI tools
- Domain restrictions
- Token limits
- Org-wide defaults
Events & DLP Matches
Every AI interaction logs action (Allow/Warn/Block), risk level, DLP match details/severity, and tool/identity/endpoint metadata.
Shadow AI Events & Findings
Unknown, unapproved, or risky AI usage is logged and surfaced in Shadow AI inventory.
AI Inventory & Use Cases
Catalog of approved AI use cases, external tools, product-embedded AI features, risk assessments, governance stages, reviews, and audit logs.
Subscriptions & Licensing
Validates license keys, allowed endpoints, event usage, and status (Active → Past Due → Expired) with fail-closed enforcement.
Integrations & Notifications
Slack, Email, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Webhooks, and SIEM/log tools (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, Chronicle, etc.).
Extension → Backend Workflows
Secure, deterministic flows between the browser extension and the platform.
/v1/extension/policy
Retrieves approved AI tools and unapproved tool definitions.
/v1/extension/evaluate
- DLP scanning
- Policy evaluation
- Risk scoring
