Can Astuteo work with organizations that restrict AI tools?

Yes, with a conversation about what the restrictions actually require.

In practice, we keep IP and sensitive data completely out of AI tools. That said, there is almost never a case where a public-facing marketing website contains IP or sensitive data. Security concerns around e-commerce and user data have been addressed in large part by established best practices like third-party payment providers, hashed passwords, and access-controlled databases. Granting AI restricted access to a codebase doesn't change those fundamentals.

For organizations with blanket AI policies driven by compliance or corporate governance, we're happy to discuss what accommodation looks like. We view AI as a tool that enables far more robust security practices when used intentionally, versus avoiding it entirely and relying on human review alone.

Every organization's requirements are different. We'd rather have an honest conversation about where the boundaries are than make promises we can't keep.
