Your security team can now see how Claude is set up.
Anthropic has added a security center, inference hooks, centralized management and new access controls to Claude Enterprise, several of them in beta. The security center shows on one page how your organization's Claude settings compare with Anthropic's recommended configuration, with a link to the place where each setting can be changed.

01 · What changed
What Anthropic shipped.
What changed: reviewing Claude's security settings used to mean going setting by setting across chat, Cowork and Claude Code. Claude Enterprise now has one page for that review, hooks that send prompts and tool calls to the data security tools a company already runs, one admin console at admin.claude.com for company-wide identity settings, and an Admin API call that signs a member out everywhere. In practice, Anthropic says your team keeps the policies it has already written and applies them to Claude. A prompt from a supported Claude product that pastes in a borrower's credit agreement can then go to your data security tool for a check under those same policies.

Security center
A new page in Organization settings compares your chat, Cowork and Claude Code settings with Anthropic's recommended configuration. Each control shows the current value, the recommended value where there is one, and a link to change it.
- 2
Attestations and reports
Admins can record the state of each control, accept risks and flag issues in one shared workspace. The page downloads as a report that marks which controls were checked automatically and which an Owner confirmed.
- 3
Inference hooks
Prompt hooks send prompts to your security tool for a check, and pre-tool-call hooks check tool calls before they run. Both are generally available and work with security vendors.
- 4
Centralized management
A parent organization gets its own console at admin.claude.com for single sign-on, SCIM, domain verification, groups and Compliance API keys. Companies can connect more than one identity provider, each with its own SSO and SCIM.
- 5
Member sign-out
One Admin API call ends a member's sign-in sessions on every browser and device without removing them from the organization. It is in beta and does not end API keys, running cloud sessions or scheduled routines.
- 6
Self-managed IP allowlist
Enterprise admins can set up and manage their IP allowlist without going through Anthropic. In the Claude Console, the allowlist is in beta and takes up to 1,000 IPv4 or IPv6 addresses or CIDR ranges per organization.
- 7
Claude Desktop controls
Admins can set the most-used Claude Desktop settings with no device management push, and block personal and other outside Claude accounts on managed computers. Owners can limit which workspace folders people use with Claude.
- 8
EDR in Cowork
Admins can run their organization's EDR sensor inside the Cowork virtual machine on the user's computer. The sensor reports to the console your security team already monitors.
02 · What it means
What it means for your seat.
For most firms the first gain is evidence: a single page, and a downloadable report, that shows how Claude is configured against Anthropic's recommendations. The second is reach, because existing DLP policies and EDR sensors can now see what happens inside Claude. Anthropic is clear that the security center is guidance based on its recommendations, not a certification or a guarantee of compliance with any law or standard.
Leadership
Your security team can now show you a one-page answer to whether Claude is set up the way it should be. Anthropic says the report is guidance, not a certification, so your own compliance sign-off still applies. Ask for the downloaded report as part of your next technology review.
Risk and compliance
Attestations let admins work through a security review once, recording each control, accepting risks and flagging issues in one place. The report marks which controls were checked automatically and which an Owner confirmed, a useful distinction to show an auditor. Compliance API keys created at the parent level can read data across organizations, so decide who may hold them.
IT and engineering
Prompt hooks and pre-tool-call hooks route Claude activity to your existing data security tools, so the DLP policies you already have can apply to prompts and tool calls, for example a prompt that pastes in a file from a data room. Your EDR sensor can run inside the Cowork virtual machine and report to your usual console. For API work, the Console IP allowlist (beta) refuses requests from addresses not on your list, which limits where a leaked API key can be used.
Enterprise admins
Company-wide settings such as SSO, SCIM, domain verification, groups and Compliance API keys move to one console at admin.claude.com, with parent owner and parent admin roles. Each organization keeps its own members, roles, IP allowlisting, tenant restrictions and session duration. The sign-out call is POST /v1/organizations/users/{user_id}/sign_out and needs the admin-user-sign-out-2026-10-08 beta header.

Facts and dates are Anthropic’s own. What it means and what to do are our view, from the firms we work with. Drafted with Claude from these sources, checked against them figure by figure, and published 5 November 2026.
The short answers.
What is the Claude Enterprise security center?
It is a page in Organization settings that compares your Claude settings for chat, Cowork and Claude Code with Anthropic's recommended configuration. For each control it shows the current value, the recommended value where there is one, and a link to change the setting, and it can be downloaded as a report.
Does the Claude security center certify compliance?
No. Anthropic says the security center is guidance based on its recommendations and is not a certification or a guarantee of compliance with any law or standard.
What does signing a member out of Claude with the Admin API do?
In beta, it ends the member's sign-in sessions and trusted devices on every browser and device, and their OAuth tokens for your organization, while keeping them in the organization. It does not end API keys, cloud sessions already running or scheduled routines, and the member can sign in again right away.
Can Claude Enterprise block personal Claude accounts on work laptops?
Yes. Admins can block personal and other outside Claude accounts in Claude Desktop on managed computers, which Anthropic describes as a way to help prevent shadow IT.
