Your team is already using AI.
You just don't know it.

Shadow AI is everywhere

Employees use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity and dozens more — on personal accounts, without IT knowing.

Sensitive data leaving every day

PII, financial data, credentials, and source code pasted into consumer AI tools — with no visibility and no controls.

No audit trail, no compliance

GDPR, SOC 2, and client contracts require evidence of AI governance. Spur gives you the audit log and compliance reports to prove it.

Why we built
Lapwing

Organisations are adopting AI tools faster than security teams can respond. Lapwing gives IT and security teams the visibility, protection, and control they need — without enterprise complexity or enterprise pricing.

Shadow AI is the new shadow IT

A decade ago, employees started using Dropbox, Slack, and Google Docs without IT approval. Security teams scrambled to catch up. The same pattern is repeating — only this time the stakes are higher.

The 100–500 employee company faces the same compliance obligations as a Fortune 500 firm, but without the security team, the budget, or the enterprise tooling to match. That's the gap Lapwing was built to fill.

Simple to deploy. Clear to understand. Immediately actionable. Priced so an IT manager can sign up without a procurement process.

Our name

The lapwing is a British bird known for one thing above all others: it will aggressively dive on anything that threatens its territory. It sees what others miss and acts before harm is done. That's the instinct we've built into our product.

Our market

We focus exclusively on the 100–500 employee segment. Large enough to have real AI data risk. Small enough that a simple, affordable product can make a real difference without a six-month implementation project.

What we stand for

Visibility first

You can't protect what you can't see. We give IT teams the full picture before asking them to act on it.

Privacy by design

We never store prompt content. Metadata only in Phase 1. We protect your data the same way we help you protect your customers'.

Built for humans

No jargon. No 40-page manuals. If a non-security IT manager can't understand it in five minutes, we haven't done our job.

Common questions

Is Spur really free?

Yes — completely free. Every feature included: browser extension, endpoint agent, admin portal, DLP, policies, SIEM, and compliance reports. No credit card, no hidden tiers, no catch.

How is Spur deployed?

The Chrome extension is deployed via enterprise policy or sideloaded. The endpoint agent installs via a package on Mac or Windows. Employees enrol using a shared org code — no individual sign-up required.

Do you read or store our prompts?

No. Spur detects AI tool usage at the metadata level — which tools, which users, when, and how much data was sent. We never read or store the content of prompts or documents.

Which platforms does the agent support?

The Spur agent runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. The browser extension supports Chrome and Edge. Both can be deployed together for complete coverage.

Does blocking actually work?

Yes. The Chrome extension blocks disabled tools via browser network rules. The Mac endpoint agent quits blocked desktop apps and closes Safari tabs to blocked domains. This is real enforcement, not just logging.

What's on the roadmap?

Near term: production-hosted cloud (EU/US), Chrome Web Store listing, signed MDM packages (Jamf, Intune), faster policy push, Safari and Firefox extensions. Later: SSO, SOAR integrations, EU AI Act report templates.

Available now as a pilot.

Spur v0.1 is available for pilot deployment today. Browser extension, endpoint agent, and admin portal — all three phases shipped.
