# Anthropic launches Enterprise Frontier Safeguards for AI safety

The company introduced new monitoring rules that keep customer data inside their own cloud infrastructure.

Anthropic introduced Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS) to ensure AI safety monitoring without compromising enterprise customers' data privacy.[^1]

Under the new EFS rules, relevant activity data will be kept inside cloud infrastructure controlled by the customer, and Anthropic promises not to store prompts and outputs in line with enterprise-grade protections.[^2]

Anthropic stated that the automated monitoring system sends any flagged issues to the customer, keeping Anthropic workers' hands off the potentially sensitive data.[^3]

The read here is that this move responds to a broader legislative push, as state legislators are pursuing measures covering frontier-model safety, independent audits, children's interactions with chatbots, data privacy, and the environmental and economic effects of AI data centers.[^4]
