Lapwing detects every AI tool employees use, stops sensitive data reaching unapproved services, and gives IT and security teams the evidence they need for audits — all in one platform.
Employees use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity and dozens more — on personal accounts, without IT knowing.
PII, financial data, credentials, and source code pasted into consumer AI tools — with no visibility and no controls.
GDPR, SOC 2, and client contracts require evidence of AI governance. Spur gives you the audit log and compliance reports to prove it.
Roll out the browser extension via Chrome policy and the endpoint agent from the Deployment guide. Enrol devices with a shared org code — no per-user signup.
Spur detects AI usage across browser and desktop, runs on-device DLP, and enforces policies — block, redact, warn, or log sensitive submissions.
Triage open alerts in the queue, explore the Forensics graph, and export executive reports or audit logs for boards and auditors.
The Chrome extension and endpoint agent detect AI usage in the browser and on the desktop — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Ollama, and dozens more. The dashboard shows risk posture, coverage, violations, and which tools are approved vs shadow AI.
The Forensics activity graph maps users, enrolled devices, and AI destinations — similar to an EDR network map. Filter by time range, search nodes, and export the graph for incident reviews.
Classify pasted and submitted content on-device — PII, financial data, credentials, source code, and custom patterns. Enforce block, redact, warn, or log actions per policy tier without sending prompt content to the cloud.
Configure allowlists, data rules, and custom patterns in Policies. Triage open alerts FIFO in the alert queue. Generate board-ready executive reports mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, and Cyber Essentials.
The Connections page configures SIEM forwarding, Microsoft Sentinel, Entra ID sync, M365/Copilot SaaS ingestion, Claude Enterprise audit, and SOC case webhooks — without leaving the portal.

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.
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.
Growing companies face 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.
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.
Teams that need AI governance without enterprise complexity — visibility, data protection, policy controls, and audit-ready reporting.
You can't protect what you can't see. We give IT teams the full picture before asking them to act on it.
We never store prompt content by default. DLP runs on-device; the portal sees metadata and policy events, not what employees typed. We protect your data the same way we help you protect your customers'.
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.
We're building Spur in the open with a small core team. If you're a developer who cares about security, privacy, and practical tooling, we'd love to hear from you.
Useful skills include TypeScript, browser extensions (MV3), macOS endpoint work, API design, and security-minded product engineering. You don't need enterprise security experience — curiosity and good judgment matter more.
Lapwing is an independent UK company building security tooling without enterprise budgets. Donations help us keep development moving while Spur is in early access.

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