AI security for technology and SaaS companies
Your product is your code, and AI now writes and reads much of it. PexLens keeps source code and secrets out of AI tools, governs AI coding assistants and extensions, and blocks malicious dependencies before they reach developers or CI.
The challenge
What makes AI and software risk different in technology and saas
Source code and secrets in AI tools
Developers paste code, logs and stack traces with API keys into AI chats and coding assistants every day.
AI assistants and extensions as insiders
AI coding tools and IDE extensions can read repositories and reach credentials, and a single bad update can change what they do.
Dependency attacks
Typosquatting, dependency confusion and compromised maintainers, as in the XZ Utils backdoor, target the packages your product is built from.
One platform
How PexLens secures technology and saas
Three products share one policy engine, so a rule about data, AI services, extensions or packages applies on every device and in every session.
Protect AI interactionsPexLens TrustGate
- Detect proprietary source code by matching it against your own repositories
- Find and redact secrets, tokens and API keys automatically
- Cover ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, AI search and local developer tools
- Per-team rules: allow, redact, block or log
Secure the AI workspacePexLens Enterprise AI Browser
- Allow-list approved AI models and instances
- Group policies for extensions, certificates and DNS filters
- Audited prompt history across the organisation
- Clipboard isolation for customer data in support and admin tools
Secure the AI supply chainPexLens Supplytrust
- Evaluate package requests in real time and allow or block them by policy
- Continuously analyse newly published packages and versions
- Secure browser and IDE extensions, including VS Code extensions
- Scan AI models and apply organisation-based Homebrew policies
Use cases
Where technology and saas teams use PexLens
Secure AI coding at scale
Every engineer can use AI coding tools without leaking source code or secrets.
Stop malicious install scripts
Risky packages are blocked on developer machines and in CI before they run.
Govern extension updates
Updates that add new permissions or network destinations are flagged before they spread.
Answer customer security reviews
Show customers how you control AI usage and open-source risk, with evidence.
Compliance
Supports your compliance programme
| Framework or obligation | How PexLens helps |
|---|---|
| SOC 2 and ISO 27001 | Evidence of controls over AI tools, developer tooling and third-party components. |
| EU Cyber Resilience Act | Supports secure development and component risk management for products sold in the EU. |
| NIST SSDF and customer SBOM requests | Helps you show how open-source components are vetted and monitored. |
PexLens provides controls and evidence that support compliance. It does not by itself make an organisation compliant with any law or standard.
FAQ
Technology and SaaS: common questions
Will developers notice PexLens?
Only when something is blocked or redacted, and then they see the reason. Approved AI tools and safe packages work as usual.
How does PexLens recognise our source code?
PexLens TrustGate matches code in prompts against your own repositories, so proprietary code is detected rather than guessed.
Does Supplytrust replace our SCA tool?
PexLens Supplytrust focuses on malicious and suspicious components and policy at install time, and applies your CVE policies too. Many teams use it alongside existing scanners.
Does PexLens cover AI coding tools used by developers?
Yes. PexLens TrustGate covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, AI search engines and local developer tools, and detects proprietary source code and secrets before they leave the device.
Can PexLens block malicious packages in CI?
Yes. PexLens Supplytrust evaluates package requests in real time and allows or blocks them by policy on developer machines and in CI.
