Data Shield

Data Shield tightly integrates with all the systems your team has connected to Unblocked, ensuring that the responses you receive adhere to the permissions configured in those systems. When activated, it restricts data access in Unblocked according to the permissions established in your connected third-party systems. This guarantees that the answers generated by Unblocked only contain source material that the user posing the question is authorized to access.

​

Demo Video

Watch this brief video to see how enabling Data Shield affects your Unblocked responses.

In the video a sensitive document is added to Google Drive, and a user asks Unblocked about the information in the document. With Data Shield disabled, Unblocked returns the document in the answer. When Data Shield is enabled, Unblocked does not return the document in the answer.

​

Setting up Data Shield

To activate Data Shield, go to the Settings section in the Unblocked web app. Under Team Settings, select Security. Here, you’ll find the option to enable Data Shield.

Toggle the switch to activate Data Shield, which takes effect immediately. A confirmation dialog will appear to confirm your decision. To disable Data Shield later, return to this page and toggle the switch off.
