With the rise of AI solutions in business, the issue of AI agents confidentiality has become central. French organizations are adopting intelligent agents on a massive scale to automate their processes, analyze their data, and assist their teams, but this transformation comes with new security challenges.
In a context marked by stricter European standards and increased vigilance on the part of companies, the management of sensitive data is a key factor in building trust.
IZEMX supports French organizations in implementing secure, compliant, and performance-oriented AI strategies.

Why the confidentiality of AI agents has become a priority issue in France

1. The rise of AI in French businesses

The use of AI in French businesses is exploding: AI agents for customer service, automation of internal tasks, data analysis, reporting, assisted cybersecurity, etc.
This massive integration raises an unavoidable question:
What data do these AI agents have access to ?
And above all: what happens to this data once it has been processed ?

For French companies, the security of business, HR, financial, and customer information cannot be left to chance.

2. Risks associated with the uncontrolled use of AI agents

The use of external or non-sovereign AI tools can lead to:

• unintentional data leaks,
• transfer to servers outside the EU,
• lack of control over model training,
• exposure to cyberattacks (prompt injection, data extraction),
• lack of traceability or governance.

These risks threaten both GDPR compliance and the company’s intellectual property.

3. The French and European legal framework

Companies must now strictly comply with the following requirements:

• GDPR (personal data),
• DSA/DMA,
• European AI Act (regulation of AI models),
• sector-specific obligations (finance, healthcare, insurance, etc.).

Compliance with these standards requires rigorous data governance.

How can data be secured when using AI agents ?

1. Minimization and segmentation of data

A good practice is to limit:
✔ the amount of data transmitted,
✔ the sensitivity of information,
✔ AI agent access to critical areas.

Each agent must be designed with a least privilege approach: it only accesses the necessary data.

2. Sovereign AI agents hosted in France

To reduce risks, French companies are turning to:

• models hosted in Europe,
• isolated environments,
• AI agents running on private servers,
• audited open-source solutions,
• advanced encryption protocols.

This is now a strategic priority for AI in French businesses.

3. Journaling, auditing, and AI governance

An AI agent must always leave a trace:

• action logs,
• request history,
• access control,
• verification of unexpected behavior.

AI governance is becoming an essential component of cybersecurity.

4. Model isolation and encryption of exchanges

To ensure AI agent confidentiality, it is recommended to use:
✔ end-to-end encryption,
✔ network restrictions,
✔ secure zones (VPC),
✔ encrypted storage,
✔ automatic key rotation.

These measures prevent intrusions and model drift.
