Lexa Shield — Frequently Asked Questions

Lexa Shield is built on an explainable, white-box intelligence architecture. Each detection includes the triggering text, the condition involved, and a clear, human-readable explanation. There are no black-box predictions or hallucinations. Results are predictable, stable, and suitable for governance, legal review, and audit environments. 

Large language models generate content based on probability. Their outputs can drift or vary.

Lexa Shield does not generate, predict, or guess.

It identifies informational patterns using structured, controlled logic built for transparency and repeatability.

Key distinctions:

• deterministic and explainable
•  no hallucinations
• no content generation
• no training on client data
• stable, versioned behavior
• consistent results appropriate for compliance workflows

Lexa Shield is an analysis engine — not a generative model. 

Many organizations already use AI tools — including LLMs, copilots, chat assistants, or automated drafting systems. Those tools help create content, but they are not designed to evaluate compliance, risk exposure, or regulatory alignment in the content your teams produce.

Lexa Shield does something different and complementary:

• It does not generate or rewrite content.
  
• It does not behave like a probabilistic model.
• It performs explainable, deterministic analysis that identifies patterns linked to regulatory exposure.
• It provides clear explanations so governance, compliance, and audit teams can understand the “why” behind each flag.
• It operates with strict data minimization and never trains on customer content.

In short:

Your existing AI helps people create.Lexa Shield helps you ensure what was created is safe, compliant, and defensible before it is used, published, or deployed.

They serve different purposes — and together, they make your AI initiatives safer, more aligned, and more controlled.

Most traditional compliance technologies focus on:

• policy management
  
• document repositories
• workflow routing
• case management
• training modules
• manual checklists
• after-the-fact review

Lexa Shield addresses a completely different layer of the compliance stack.

Lexa Shield performs real-time analysis of the actual text your organization produces — whether from humans or AI systems — and highlights potential areas of concern automatically, before those issues turn into regulatory, reputational, or operational risk.

It is not static and not limited to policy documents.

It analyzes the content itself.

This makes Lexa Shield valuable even if you already have:

• GRC tools
• DLP systems
• policy repositories
• audit software
• manual approval workflows

Lexa Shield strengthens these systems by adding:

• automated detection
• explainability
• consistency
• proactive risk visibility
• human-review support

Lexa Shield does not determine compliance status. It highlights patterns for review within your existing governance workflows.

It does the work traditional compliance tools can’t: reading content, spotting risk patterns, and offering structured explanations.

Lexa Shield differs in three fundamental ways:

A. It analyzes content, not organizational structure.

Traditional compliance platforms manage standards, controls, checklists, and workflows.
Lexa Shield looks directly at the words, claims, and statements in your documents and communications.

It operates at the point where risk appears in real life: inside the text itself.

B. It is real-time, automated, and explainable.

Legacy platforms rely heavily on manual review or templated logic.

Lexa Shield provides:

• real-time analysis
• explainable detections
• versioned, consistent behavior
• clear reasoning behind each flag
•  non-retentive, privacy-by-design scanning

This lets teams understand exactly what happened and why, without waiting for a review cycle.

C. It is built to complement — not replace — existing systems.

Lexa Shield works alongside your existing:

• AI tools
• GRC platforms
• governance systems
•  legal review processes
• risk controls
• policy frameworks

It enhances your compliance posture by providing a layer of automated insight that other platforms do not offer.

You don’t need to replace anything.

Lexa Shield simply makes everything you already use stronger, safer, and more transparent.
