Anthropic unveiled its Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS) on September 1, 2025.

The program lets customers store retained safety data in their own cloud infrastructure under their own encryption keys while Anthropic's automated safety monitoring continues.[^1]

Under the arrangement, the customer's own security team, not Anthropic staff, reviews whatever the system flags.[^2]
