Why Metomic

One platform for MCP Gateway and Shadow AI security

Metomic understands what is inside your data and acts on it the moment an agent reaches for it. Most tools do half the job: they classify data at rest, or they watch agent traffic. Metomic does both, in real time, at the gateway.

It reads what is inside the request

A call can look fine by who sent it and still carry something it should not. A finance agent summarizing vendor contracts never sees the bank details buried in an appendix, because Metomic redacts them before the model does.

AI Judge handles what rigid rules miss

It weighs the content each request carries and decides in context: allow, redact, hold for human approval, or block. No endless keyword lists or file rules to maintain as your tools change.

Value on day one

Hosted and preconfigured for the tools you already run, with nothing to stand up on your side. From the first day you can see what your agents are doing with your data, before you write a single policy.

The Shadow AI problem

Shadow AI spreads faster than the approval process

When the approved path is slower than going it alone, people go it alone. Engineers wire Claude and Cursor into company tools on their own. Staff paste customer records into browser AI. Every unapproved MCP server and copilot is another way sensitive data leaves with no record behind it.

Metomic surfaces this shadow layer so you can govern it, not block it.

Prompt injection hijacks your agents

A poisoned document can steer an agent into handing over data it should never expose.

Over-privileged connections leak data

A server wired with broad scopes turns one convenient integration into a straight path to a leak.

Rogue MCP servers swap their behavior

A malicious server posing as a trusted tool can quietly swap its behavior after you connect it.

No audit trail leaves you exposed

When the auditor asks what your AI touched, unapproved tools leave you with nothing to show.

How it works

See it. Control it. Prove it.

Say yes to AI and keep customer data where it belongs. Teams get the tools they want, security keeps the controls they need, and the record is there when someone asks.

01 · Visibility

See it

Visibility from day one, before you write a single policy. Every agent request, who made it, which tool it hit, and what data it touched, plus the Shadow AI running in the browser. It all streams into your SIEM.

02 · Enforcement

Control it

Step in on requests as they happen: coach, allow, redact, hold for approval, or block. Approved-AI rules decide which agents and tools get near your data, enforced with least privilege at the gateway.

03 · Assurance

Prove it

A full record of every agent action and a clear view of how your AI behaves, ready for the auditor or the regulator. No reconstruction after the fact.

Coverage

Visibility where sensitive content lives

Metomic inspects messages, tickets, pages, files, and records, the actual content where sensitive data hides, not just metadata or attachments.

FAQ

Questions security teams ask

The MCP Gateway, Shadow AI, and data-in-motion questions we hear most from security teams evaluating Metomic.

What is an MCP Gateway?

An MCP Gateway sits between your AI agents and the tools and models they call. It inspects every Model Context Protocol (MCP) request in real time, enforces least-privilege access, and redacts sensitive data before it reaches any external model. Metomic is the unified MCP gateway for security teams: discover and govern shadow AI, inspect data in flight, and redact sensitive data before it reaches external models. Read the full guide to what an MCP Gateway is for more.

What is Shadow AI and how does Metomic handle it?

Shadow AI is the use of AI agents, MCP servers, copilots, and browser AI tools that were never approved by security, such as engineers wiring Claude or Cursor into company tools or staff pasting customer records into browser AI. Metomic surfaces this shadow layer so you can govern it, not block it, giving teams the AI they want while keeping sensitive data protected.

How does Metomic protect data in motion?

Metomic understands what is inside each request and acts on the content itself. In real time at the gateway it can allow, redact, hold for human approval, or block a request, then keep a full record of every agent action streamed to your SIEM for the auditor or the regulator. Read more on what AI data in motion actually means.

How quickly can Metomic be deployed?

Metomic is hosted and preconfigured for the tools you already run, with no agents on endpoints. You can see what your agents are doing with your data from day one, before you write a single policy.

Is Metomic SOC 2 compliant?

Yes. Metomic is SOC 2 Type II certified (AICPA) and rated 4.8 on G2 by security teams at enterprises running AI at scale.
