Prove you protected the data, not just that you reported the incident.

Modern privacy regulations expect organizations to put appropriate safeguards around personal data and demonstrate that those controls are working. BlackFog ADX prevents unauthorized data exfiltration at the endpoint in real-time and provides the evidence you need to support GDPR accountability, DPIAs, and breach-notification requirements.

THE COMPLIANCE BIND

Reporting a breach is not the same as preventing one.

Frameworks increasingly judge you on outcomes: was personal data actually protected from leaving? A tidy policy binder does not answer that question.

Perimeter controls provide visibility at the network boundary. But data can also leave through AI tools, personal cloud, and devices operating off-network. ADX acts at the endpoint to prevent unauthorized exfiltration in real-time and provide the evidence.

WHERE OBLIGATIONS BITE

Four places compliance meets reality.

Each maps to a duty you already hold. ADX enforces it on the endpoint and evidences the control.

GDPR

Personal data outside approved controls

An employee sends customer data to a personal cloud account or AI service that falls outside the organization’s approved controls.

ADX → stops the unauthorized transfer at the endpoint and records the prevented event.

DPIA

Assessing real processing risk

A DPIA needs to reflect how data actually moves, including the Shadow AI paths nobody documented.

ADX → surfaces AI usage and data movement across your fleet to ground the assessment in real activity.

BREACH DUTY

The 72-hour clock

When an incident involves personal data, you need to establish what happened, what data was affected, and whether notification is required.

ADX → provides evidence of attempted and prevented data exfiltration to support investigation and breach assessment.

DATA RESIDENCY

Off-network and roaming devices

A laptop far from any proxy sends regulated data to an unapproved destination.

ADX → runs on-device with no proxy or VPN, so controls hold everywhere.

EVIDENCE ON DEMAND

Controls you can demonstrate, not just describe

ADX produces on-device logs of blocked transfers, giving auditors and regulators evidence that personal data was prevented from leaving and that your controls are working as intended.

WHY THE ENDPOINT

Built for how regulated data really moves.

ON-DEVICE

No cloud dependency

Analysis and prevention happen on the endpoint, so protection remains in place even when the device is off the corporate network.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Inspect, don’t retain

ADX evaluates data on the endpoint without retaining the content it protects, supporting data-minimization principles.

WORKS ALONGSIDE

Complements your GRC stack

ADX adds the prevention-and-evidence layer next to the tools your compliance team already relies on.

FRAMEWORKS

Mapped to the obligations you already hold.

ADX provides technical controls and evidence that support GDPR, DPIAs, and breach-management requirements, turning policy into demonstrable practice.

GDPR Art. 32

Technical measures that block personal data leaving the endpoint in real-time.

DPIA input

A live view of exfiltration and Shadow AI paths to ground risk assessments.

Breach evidence

On-device logging of prevented transfers supports notification and audit.

Data minimization

A minimal-footprint agent that never collects the content it is protecting.

“Regulators have stopped asking whether you noticed the breach. They ask whether you prevented it. That answer lives on the endpoint.”
