Security and privacy in Enterprise Search

Enterprise Search only shows what you already have permission to access in the original connected tool. This is a fundamental principle. If you don't have access to a specific document in Google Drive, Claude won't be able to find it through Enterprise Search. Your conversations remain private, and your connected data is not indexed or stored separately. This means that search is performed in real time against your sources, rather than against a pre-built index that might contain outdated data. For organizations, this also means that Enterprise Search does not create new security risks: existing access boundaries are fully respected. A marketing department employee will not gain access to financial documents through Enterprise Search if they don't have the appropriate rights in the source systems. This makes Enterprise Search safe to deploy even in organizations with strict data segregation requirements.
