IP-Protected Copilot for Manufacturing
Manufacturing companies rely on trade secrets and proprietary processes for competitive advantage. Copilot must protect IP while enabling operational efficiency.
The IP Problem
Trade secrets lose protection once disclosed. Manufacturing processes, formulas, and designs that surface to unauthorized employees may lose trade secret status entirely.
Copilot makes finding information trivial. Engineering documentation, supplier contracts, and R&D files that were protected through obscurity are now discoverable through simple queries. IP governance is essential.
Manufacturing Risks
IP Risk Scenarios
These scenarios create intellectual property and compliance risks in manufacturing Copilot deployments.
Trade Secret Exposure
Copilot surfaces proprietary manufacturing processes to employees without need-to-know.
Mitigation
Trade secret classification, restricted R&D permissions, DLP policies.
Supply Chain Data Leakage
Supplier pricing and contract terms surface to unauthorized personnel or competitors.
Mitigation
Supplier data segregation, sensitivity labels, access controls.
Export Control Violation
ITAR-controlled technical data surfaces to foreign nationals through AI queries.
Mitigation
Country-based access restrictions, ITAR labels, audit logging.
Our Approach
Manufacturing Copilot Governance
Trade secret classification and labeling
R&D and engineering data protection
ITAR/EAR export control compliance
Supply chain data segregation
Audit logging for IP breach investigation
Manufacturing Assessment
Our manufacturing assessment evaluates trade secret exposure, engineering data governance, export control compliance, and supply chain security before Copilot deployment.
