Netskope has integrated with Anthropic's Claude Compliance API, linking Claude Enterprise with the Netskope One platform.

The move comes as Claude adoption has risen sharply among organisations, according to Netskope's AI Index.

Security and IT teams will gain visibility into Claude activity and be able to apply existing governance and data protection rules to the AI assistant. Customers will also be able to monitor usage, inspect files and manage compliance controls through the same platform they use for other applications.

Figures cited by Netskope show Anthropic's Claude grew from 56.2% to 94.9% adoption among organisations worldwide between April 2025 and April 2026. The increase reflects a wider shift from testing AI tools to embedding them in day-to-day operations.

What changes

The integration is designed to bring Claude Enterprise activity data into Netskope One through Anthropic's compliance interface. Anthropic describes the Compliance API as a REST API that gives enterprise IT and security teams programmatic access to Claude activity data.

The aim is to replace manual exports and periodic reviews with continuous monitoring and automated policy enforcement. Administrators will also be able to feed Claude data into compliance dashboards, automatically flag potential issues and manage data retention.

Customers will be able to inventory organisations, workspaces, projects, users, API keys and MCP servers across a Claude deployment. Security teams will also be able to identify third-party tools and data sources that Claude is authorised to access.

Data loss prevention policies already used for other enterprise software can also be applied to Claude Enterprise conversations. Files uploaded to or generated within Claude Enterprise will be inspected by Netskope's threat and malware detection systems, while user activity data will feed into its user behaviour analytics tools.

Compliance focus

A central part of the integration is compliance oversight. Customers will be able to assess Claude configurations against frameworks including GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, CSA CCM and PCI-DSS, with findings mapped to specific controls.

The system will also support lifecycle governance for Claude API credentials, including key rotation checks, least-privilege audits, detection of orphaned keys and administrator attribution within existing Netskope workflows.

The announcement reflects a growing focus among security suppliers on governing generative AI systems as businesses try to reduce the risk of sensitive data exposure, policy breaches and weak oversight. Rather than create separate security processes for AI tools, many organisations are extending existing controls to cover new applications and models.

Sanjay Beri, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Netskope, said the link-up reflects how companies are now deploying AI more broadly.

"Organisations are rapidly moving beyond experimentation and embracing AI at scale. Our integration with the Claude Compliance API is critical to that AI ecosystem story, connecting Netskope's unified data governance and compliance controls directly to Claude usage. This allows our shared customers to adopt these valuable tools at pace and with confidence," Beri said.

Anthropic's API is aimed at enterprise customers that want direct access to usage and content data for governance purposes. The broader challenge is how to keep pace with the spread of AI assistants inside companies without relying on separate manual checks or fragmented security tools.

For Netskope, the integration adds another AI-focused function to its broader cloud and security business. Its customer base includes thousands of organisations, among them more than 30 of the Fortune 100.

The Claude integration is due to enter private preview in June.
