MagicMirror’s new Policy Engine brings department-level GenAI controls—tailor safeguards by role, enforce instantly, and never lose on-device privacy.

GenAI adoption is no longer a side project—it’s woven into how we code, draft, analyze, and decide. Yet the more widely these tools spread, the more diverse your risk profile becomes. Legal needs airtight confidentiality. Marketing needs freedom to experiment. Finance needs to lock down PII. A single, monolithic rule set can’t satisfy everyone forever.

Today, we’re closing that gap with MagicMirror’s new Policy Engine—a flexible framework for department‑level rules, instant safeguards, and zero‑friction rollout.

From One‑Size‑Fits‑All to Role-Based Protection

When we launched MagicMirror, our goal was simple: to give every organization real-time GenAI observability and on-device protections without slowing teams down. The response was overwhelming—but so was the feedback:

“Love the visibility. Now let me tune protections by role.”
“Our engineers and paralegals face totally different data risks.”
“I need to test stricter rules without breaking revenue workflows.”

Your ask was clear: one size doesn’t fit all. The new Policy Engine answers with fine‑grained control that you can assign to groups based on department or role where it matters—at the browser, in real time, still 100 % local.

Default Policy: Your Baseline, Preserved

If you’re a current customer, you already have a ruleset covering:

  • Domain access & tool permissions
  • Prompt & file‑upload scanning for sensitive data
  • PII/PCI pattern protections

We’ve wrapped those existing settings into a Default Policy and assigned it to every user. Nothing changes unless you want it to. Browse to Policies › Default Policy to review or tweak as you always have.

Custom Policies: Tailor Protections to Roles

Need tighter controls for Finance or looser sandboxing for R&D? Just click Create New Policy in the Policies dropdown.

  1. Name & describe your policy for easy recall.
  2. Adjust rules—domains, file‑scan thresholds, PII types, and override workflows.
  3. Save and you’re done.

Assigning Departments

Select Assign Departments, choose who gets the new safeguards, and save. Within five minutes, every user in those departments inherits the updated rules—no browser restart, no agent redeploy.

One department ⇢ one policy keeps governance crystal‑clear. New departments default to your baseline until you say otherwise.

Membership View: Instant Clarity on Who Gets What

The new Membership tab shows every department and its current policy at a glance. Moving teams between policies is as simple as a dropdown and a click—ideal for pilots, phased rollouts, or incident response.

Operational Impact: Precision Control, Zero Friction

With the Policy Engine, governance scales as fluidly as your teams—delivering the right controls to the right people without slowing anyone down. Here’s how that plays out in practice:

  • Handling diverse data risks: Previously required narrow global rules or tool bans. Now you can tailor safeguards by department without extra agents.
  • Rolling out new protections: Used to involve full org-wide change management and risk user pushback. Now you can pilot with one team, iterate, and scale in minutes.
  • Meeting compliance requirements: Previously required manual mapping of which users had which protections. Now the Membership view shows policy coverage instantly.
  • Bottom line: You maintain MagicMirror’s hallmark on-device privacy and real-time GenAI observability, now with the flexibility that large organizations demand.

    A Glimpse of What’s Next

    The Policy Engine is a cornerstone of our broader mission to secure every interaction before it reaches the cloud. Upcoming releases will extend policy coverage to:

    • File‑level content labels for richer context
    • Phishing‑aware DOM rules in real time
    • Universal SaaS audit mapping across your stack

    Stay tuned—flexibility is just getting started.

    Ready to Customize?

    Log in, build your first custom policy, and see real‑time protection adapt to the way your teams actually work. As always, no data leaves the device.

    MagicMirror—GenAI observability and protection that bends to your business, not the other way around.
