Before sharing input, match its company data classification to an approved account, deployment, and use. Proprietary data may be permitted under specific company-approved conditions; public-tool approval does not establish that permission. Redaction reduces selected disclosures but never authorises sharing by itself.
Risk class | Examples | Handled in |
|---|---|---|
Design data | RTL, netlists, constraints, floorplans, test results | What never to paste |
Credentials | Passwords, keys, tokens, certificates | Never paste, plus redaction |
Policy and tools | Data classes and approved tools | Policy and approved tools |
Deployment and review | Local versus hosted, least privilege, security review | Local, hosted, and security review |
Lesson | What it covers |
|---|---|
Credentials stay out; other sensitive classes require matching approval. | |
Company policy first, data classes, and the checks before any paste. | |
An illustrative regex redactor and the limits of its fixed fixtures. | |
Deployment tradeoffs, least privilege, and how to ask the security team. |
Keep the password out of prompts, classify the remaining content, minimise and redact as required, then confirm that sharing the remaining information through this account and deployment is authorised. A redacted failure is not automatically cleared.
