What does Golf do?
Golf is a security and governance platform specifically designed for AI agents that connect to your company's data via MCP (Model Context Protocol). It addresses a critical blind spot: tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot can be set up by individual engineers to directly access codebases, production databases, and other sensitive systems, completely bypassing standard security layers like SIEM and DLP. Golf finds these connections, giving security teams visibility and control over AI data access they previously lacked.
The tool works by operating at the MCP layer, not the LLM layer. It discovers every AI agent and MCP server in your environment, including unauthorized 'shadow' setups. Its core features include real-time policy enforcement to block PII exposure or unauthorized access, detailed auditing that logs every prompt and action for 90 days, and pre-mapped compliance reporting for standards like SOC 2 and NIST AI RMF. It integrates directly with existing enterprise identity providers and SIEM tools.
This platform is built for security teams, compliance officers, and engineering leaders in organizations where developers use AI coding assistants. Its primary use cases are preventing data leaks from AI tools, meeting strict regulatory requirements for AI governance, and maintaining a full audit trail of all agent activity across an organization's infrastructure.
